The failures always seem to be met with either 'building for the next four years’ or some sort of inquest with ‘root and branch reform’. In reality all that happens is that we get older.
I wouldn't mind big fat Sam to be honest. He's at least a sensible manager, has managed big egos and big talents aplenty, isn't totally adverse to letting his teams play as proved in his final year at WHU, but most of all he'd make absolute sure there's be no more pathetic dismal showings like last Monday. I hope he gets it but I doubt he's being considered.
I would like to start by asking the mugs who gave Hodgeson the job what the **** was you thinking. Google his cv and there is no earthly reason to suggest that he has had any actual success in tournament football..
I was going to say the same - Mourinho, Ancellotti and Guardiola have no relevant experience or success either.
I saw on the Sky news line that Coleman had been asked about the England job! FFS, may as well ask Lagerback if he wants it! ****ing waste of time England! I won't be following or supporting England if they get a foreign manager! I really don't give a **** anymore, they're a ****ing embarrassment! Wales have done more because they've picked players, not names from fashionable teams! If you take out Heaton, then Everton are the most unfashionable/lowest placed team we pick from, that says it all!
You're missing the point, if there were a load of players at Arsenal and Man United who qualified to play for Wales, they'd have picked them.
Good job Alf Ramsey didn't think like that. One full back from Fulham who escaped relegation by one place and let in the third highest number of goals, another defender from Huddersfield in Division Two, a captain who wasin the team with the fourth worst defensive record. No players from the highest scoring team, none from the third placed team who were the third highest scorers but two forwards from a team which only scored three more than 20th placed Fulham. Ramsey obviously picked players he thought would fit into the formation he wanted. How quaint. How old-fashioned. How successful.
Regardless of what Alf Ramsey did fifty years ago, if Coleman had players available from better teams he'd select them, he's selecting the best players he can from those available, unless you can name me a load of top four club players that he's overlooked? There were no players from outside the top flight in Ramsey's World Cup winning team as far as I'm aware.
