Ex Crystal Palace owner makes admission over England boss Gareth Southgate.
Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has acknowledged that he wrote off Gareth Southgate too quickly as England manager.
Southgate has led England into the semi-finals of the World Cup, where they face Croatia on Wednesday evening.
Simon Jordan is not afraid to admit he was wrong about Southgate, who played for Crystal Palace in the early and mid-90s.
Jordan tweeted this message in 2016…
This morning Jordan reflected on his message, and said Southgate has proved him well and truly wrong.
Simon Jordan was not the only one to doubt Southgate’s ability to get England challenging for international trophies.
The low expectations have even worked in England’s favour, and Southgate is re-writing his own legacy along the way.
