I like Southgate but he’s been an absolute fanny releasing that statement. Acting like a fucking politician.
Deal with it in-house. If he has to drop Sterling as punishment, no problem. But he could quite easily have told the media it’s an internal issue and he’ll be dealing with it behind closed doors.
There will likely be repercussions for Sterling from that vile, feral bunch of scrotes, and Southgate should have thought about protecting his best player from that, especially considering what he’s had to put up with in the past.
Weak management. Poor.
