I was lucky enough to be in a small group of people talking to Sir Alex when one person asked if he'd ever considered managing England, his answer surprised me but also totally didn't at the same time. He said he loved the English game despite being a proud Scot, and that he always secretly and very quietly cheered the English on at every tournament. But he was already managing the majority of England players within Man Utd, and he WAS Man Utd, he couldn't give up that club for so little gain. Great manager, respect from a Leicester fan.

Fergie's right about the press, in terms of an England manager, it's generally horrific, but Hodgson was the wrong fit, they're doing about what they should expect to do with Southgate - they could have far far worse managers.

Fergie's the greatest manager of all-time, but to be honest I wouldn't want a Scotsman managing England, any more than I wanted a Swede or Italian. Call me old-fashioned, but at international level that just doesn't sit right.
