England Management Record Over the Last Few Years:
1) Sven is called in and starts to create a winning side.
2) People lose faith in Sven, then Sven goes. People accuse him of not getting the best out of the players he has at his disposal.
3) An ex-rag boy, Steve McLaren comes in and manages to fuck everything up even more, we wait patiently, but eventually he get's sacked as we plummet to the bottom of the qualifiers and eventually don't progress through. People realise that maybe Sven wasn't doing a bad job after all. Perhaps he did manage to get the best out of the players he had, after all?
4) Cappello, a much more experienced manager than McLaren comes in, changes very little in terms of personnel, but belief is restored and the results and performances start to turn around again.
1, 2 and 3 sound very familiar to me, although I am starting to wish 4 was instigated ASAP as I don't want to wait for Hughes to put together the most expensive side in football, ever to be relegated.
