    Quote from the owners:

    "We do not, however, apply short-term thinking to decisions of this magnitude. We consider many factors which far outweigh our results in the last few matches and these deliberations have ultimately led us to conclude that we can be better, and that a change is needed to take us to the next level.”

    Just imagine if that had been Gino...

    Oh dear - Aidy Boothroyd getting a lot of stick on Twitter .

    England Under 21s losing to Switzerland 1-0 and haven’t had a shot on goal.

    Seem to be playing 3/4/3 with loads of aimless passing sideways and backwards.

    Certainly not how Boothroyd set us up when we got promoted so probably isn’t how he wants to play but maybe told to?

    He probably wishes someone like Pedro was English to play the main striker role which is what they seem to lack in the squad.

    Lots of good creative midfielders and wide men but no strikers like we when had Marlon King being set up by Ashley Young at WFC.

    It sounds like he had a Plan A which didn't work and no Plan B etc which is exactly what happened with us.

    They play the same systems through all the age levels I think. He might change it to get through a tournament I suppose but otherwise it's like for like.

    Yes - that is right.

    Southgate will play 3-4-3 or something akin to that tonight - probably mostly defenders against a team of teachers/accountants and plumbers!

    I remember Boothroyd was a youth coach before coming to us so guess they feel he is good with the kids.

    Steven Berghuis obviously good enough for the Netherlands.

    Has scored for them.

    Apparently he has scored 16 goals for Feyenoord this season plus being a full Dutch international. I think we really missed the boat there.

    Aidy Boothroyd said he still had hope for the England Under 21s.

    Well they are losing again and don't seem to be creating much.

    Who knows what might happen if he actually let Ben Wilmot play...

    All the very best of luck to him. I think he may need it - it's a bit of a tight tussle at the bottom of that division.

    Yes - 2 Essex sides down there and they play each other soon.

    Probably lucky that there's no fans allowed then.
