Problem is, he is educated enough to get a management position with a large, corporate estate agent. I don't think a lack of knowledge is the problem here.

I think people like this need to be made an example of.

Apparantely he has said other things that pretty derogatory so he knew what he was doing.

Not sure if sorry would cut it, not sure many companies would want to hire him going forward.

I’ve been watching Maguire closely in the Euros. He really is shit. I cannot believe how the media rate him so highly. My wife who knows very little about football believes the hype and tells me off when I slag him off.

So during the games I pointed out how he gets the ball and does 2 things that are dangerous and dies then constantly.

1) Passing. Either too short, too long of behind the player he’s passed to.

2) Taking the ball passed opposition strikers. You’ve seen it. He tries to be Rio or Ledley and when the tip tap to each defender yields nothing he decides to burst through the strikers trying to block him. He then does one of x things.
A) surge past only to pass back again resulting in a waste of effort
B) surge past, get tackled cos he’s too slow and if he’s lucky claim a free kick at which point he demonstrates “passion” by shouting at his shadow
C) surge past a deliver the standard hospital pass that loses England the ball

He can header, he can tackle, he’s passionate, but he is t good enough to be an England regular.

This wasn't his first time. People found numerous instances of him making racist and sexist comments. Everyone deserves redemption but he's going to have to do a lot of work

Unfortunately he’s one of the best options England have at the moment.

Centre back is unusually dry of English talent at the moment.

I don’t like him as a person.
He is better than you are suggesting. I would have him at Tottenham. He should be captain of England imo.
