What an absolute crazy situation !! Take Gareth Southgate' s failure this week They don't give him a contract to the end of the Tournament to see how he does -- NO -- they gave him a contract in January to next January !! What the good is that ?? If they now sack him after this failure then they will have to Come to a payment settlement on the rest of his contract !! This happens time after time .. So easy to run the Manager's contract to the end of a Tournament See how he does and then do not renew if failure , or give him A new one befitting his success if successful. It is NOT rocket science selectors !!!!
How on gods green earth did England never give Brian Clough ( with John Taylor )a shot at the managers job. I know he had problems with big name players at Leeds but that was different. He inherited those players and had to make do with them at the time but as England manager he would have been chosing the players and if he picked a player to put on a jersey boy they would have played for him.

I believe the answer is the same reason Jackie Charlton, didn't get the courtesy of a reply to his application, the FA clique only wanted compliant managers who whould agree to the worthless extra "Friendlies" and foreign tours, which of course are great money spinners, but not necessarily in the Teams best interest.
Clough made his feelings clear on this matter. He would have been to much of a handful for the cosy "Northern populated Club" that ran the then FA.
