Southgate receives vote of confidence
-
Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson insists sacking manger Gareth Southgate will not solve the club's current plight as they bid to avoid relegation.
Boro have won just one of their last 18 Premier League games and are second from bottom, four points from safety.
"I have spoken with a lot of fans over the last few weeks and they ask me about Gareth Southgate," Gibson told the club's official website.
"But the magic wand in our situation isn't sacking Gareth Southgate."
He added: "Of course, everybody has their opinion in football and I understand the frustration of the fans.
"I have always said that we have a knowledgeable crowd at Middlesbrough and you have to respect that.
"I take on board the views of the fans because I care as much as they do. But if I was to sack Gareth Southgate at this stage, how would it help the situation?"

One of the few chairmans who think with their heads and not their pockets.
