Why?

:blush:

The main problem for me is the FA. A rotten, old boys club organisation. I don't think we lack the talented players. Next up I think is the media/fans. Players who fail in a penalty shoot-out are subject to too much criticism, which puts more pressure on our players in the next shootout. We...

Yep. Well, 2 games, both at home, but I agree with your point. And thanks to dodgy decisions. Well it seems to be deeply embedded in you (and many other fans). I agree we've been crap, but we have also been decent at times, and yes we have been unlucky at times. I do understand your defeatist...

We've been pretty bloody awful (vs Portugal was less than 15 years ago, beat Argentina in 2002). Managers like McClaren haven't helped. But giving up and assuming we have to play like Stoke is not the answer. We do produce talented players at times, and we are capable of decent football with...

I actually think the opposite. vs Germany in '90 we were excellent, we battered Holland in '96 (were 2nd best against Spain, but won thanks to the linesman), were excellent against Germany again, then excellent against Argentina in '98 despite going down to 10 men etc. Decent against Portugal...

A few times. We played well in '90, '96, '98, ok in '02 and '04. It's not good enough, I agree, but let's not give up hope of ever being a decent team, and settle for playing like Bolton. I agree with your basic point, but (as I seem to be the only one who remembers) we did beat Spain. We've...

Agreed. :eek: I take it you're joking? We have played decent football in the past, and will again. We should not be trying to mimic Bolton. Yes, so let's stop that. Agreed. No we don't have anyone as good as Bale, but then I don't think Italy, Spain or Germany do either. They're not that bad...

I'd like someone who has either had success with a decent national team, or success with a decent club. I don't know much about Pep, and what he was like before he got the main job at Barca.

What's he achieved that makes you think he's the best person in the world to lead England to a the World Cup?

So for all those here who demand an English manager - we've had Steve ****head McClaren, and Roy Hogson (as my daughter calls him) - who do you want next? How about Eddie Howe?

Please loose you're money.
