I heard this on the radio earlier and my observation was that I didn't know we had an U-20s.

I've heard of the Under-17s, 19s and 21s and, having just checked, they are the only ones listed on the FA site under the 'England' tab.

So, it sounds a rather dossy job.

Great. All our kids being taught to lump it to the big guy upfront.

The U19s coach has the best job - he / she gets players for 2 whole years. I bet the U21 coach is gutted to lose the 19 year olds as well.

Isn't the U20s basically the reserve team of the U21 and 19 squads?

Regardless of how important the job is in relation to other age groups, it's a travesty that a clown like Boothroyd has got the job.

Apart from one good season at Watford he is an absolute failure everywhere he has been playing stone age hoof ball, sums the FA up when a clown like him gets a coaching job

It is quite astounding really. That Greg Dyke rant worked a treat didn't it....

Just shows once you are on that managerial merry go round you are nicely set up even if you are incompetent. Pay offs and new jobs, lovely jubbly. It's stuff like this that makes it increasingly difficult to give a toss about English football, other than the Albion.

That is very odd isn't it. Firstly who or what are the Under 20's? And if it is a valid job, why the **** would you want someone like that as manager.

Very odd.

Leading Northampton to the League 2 relegation zone before being sacked was a wonderful achievement.

At least it's consistent.
