World Cup survey: 1 in 2 fans want next England manager to be English, 44% say workers shouldn’t work from home during England games

47% of respondents believe England’s next football manager should be English.

Southgate’s win percentage currently sits at 60.5%, fourth in the all-time list of England managers.

Who’s first? Italian Fabio Capello with 64.4%.

Nick Raffoul, data analyst at Fair Betting Sites commented on the poll results:

“Gareth Southgate has restored English pride not only in the team but in the managerial position. Hodgson & McClaren’s stint as England manager could be seen as a black spot in the history of English football managers, however Southgate has certainly wetted the country’s appetite for another English manager in the future.”

Nearly 1 In 2 Think Businesses Shouldn’t Let Staff Work From Home If England Game Is On

44% of UK adults think that staff shouldn’t be allowed to work from home even if an England football game is on, according to the poll.

That opposes the 31% of the population that thinks they should have the opportunity to work from home when England plays.

There seems to be a difference in opinion between young adults and baby boomers as well.

49% of respondents aged 55+ were opposed to businesses allowing staff to work from home while an England game is on.

That compares to 39% aged 16-34 that want businesses to let staff work from home if an England game is on.

44% Want To Work From Home If England Get To The Final

If England makes it to the final this year, 44% of UK adults say that they would like to work from home.

Only 34% disagree and about 21% are indifferent.

Nearly 1 in 2 UK males (46%) would like to work from home if England made the 2022 World Cup Final.

That compares to only 42% of UK females that want to work from home if England makes the final.

52% Of 16-24 Year Olds Believe Businesses Should Let Staff Work From Home If England Makes World Cup Final

In fact, nearly 1 in 2 respondents aged 16-54 (49%) feel that businesses should let them work from home if England winds up in the World Cup Final.

However, only 37% of respondents aged 55 or older agree.

50% Of Greater London Want The Day Off If England Wins The World Cup; East Midlands Disagrees

Respondents from different areas also appear to be split on whether or not businesses should let England fans work from home during the World Cup.

According to the poll results, 50% of respondents located in Greater London believed that businesses should let staff work from home if England wins the tournament.

That number is far greater than what the UK thinks as a whole, with only 37% wanting the day off if England win the World Cup.

Meanwhile, respondents located in East Midlands clearly disagree with a day off. 49% of adults saying that they would want to get right back to work, even if England wins the World Cup Final.
