David Wheater (talking on Sky Sports News): "They know all the lads and they know the area.
"We respect them. They are great coaches and I don't think there is anyone better to take over right now.
"Saturday's the important thing for us now. Hopefully we can get a win there and go on a decent run.
"I can't speak highly enough of Gareth Southgate. I've always said that he made my career.
"Steve McClaren gave me my debut, but Gareth Southgate stuck with me in the team when all the injured players were coming back in.
"We've said our goodbyes to the manager and we all wish him well."
