Of course the buck stops at the FA, who are nothing more than a complete bunch of clowns. The entire board should be kicked out and get some people in who know what they are doing....but that won't happen because the people in there now are on mega money, and accountable to no-one, so the chance of them all resigning are about the same as San Marino winning the 2012 European Championships...

I'm afraid that when the team malfunctions to the extent that we did in this World Cup, is clearly riven by internecine factionalism, and contains at least five players who should be on holiday, then it is the manager, and those who employ him, who are to blame.
You can talk all you like about the coaching of young footballers, the prominence of foreign players in our major clubs, the ridiculous salaries, the idolatrous and lickspittle media, but if the man in charge does not know what he is doing, a football team can not succeed. |

So you are saying put new people in charge........get a new manager and all will be ok.
The FA people don't tog out......It's the same old same old 1966 syndrome. |

There are two major issues - the current manager is a mug, and the whole national football philosophy is worthless.
There is no way of making us a World power without addressing both issues, but make no mistake, we do have the players. Perhaps I could ask you which other major footballing nation would have seen its team stink out a tournament in the ignominious way we stunk out South Africa 2010, and not sack the manager as soon as he stepped off the plane home? It is repugnant that Capello should still have the job. |

We didn't sack him because we couldn't afford to.
I refer to my previous point about the clowns at the FA who gave him a huge contract on vast sums of money before he had achieved anything other than cruise through a p1ss easy qualifying group. Who will be held accountable for this decision? No-one. That is the problem. |
