The FA dont give a shit, as long as there are happy clappers thinking a few qualifying wins is the bench mark, the sponsors come in and the merchandising gets sold, they wont do anything.
You maybe right and the FA know that we will never be a world power again so look more at the commercial side of things.
Always makes me laugh before any big tourno how the press try to generate interest and support for our lambs going in for slaughter.
I stopped following England years ago and, call me non-patriotic, but I'm glad when they lose as it will be the only way change, if indeed they want it, will come.
The FA is first and foremost a multi million pound business, if we win something great but the baseline is making money, if it wasnt there would have been something done about it, like the Germans did in 2000.
I think England meant a lot more to me when City were shit, it was the only realistic chance I had of winning something back then, it was also good to get together with my none City supporting mates to cheer on the country together, however even my mates who support smaller teams are sick to the back teeth of failure and underachievement. Now we get together and take the piss out of ourselves, much like we used to with City.
Not sure its laziness. Its all results driven and you need to be successful straight away or you end up looking up the table to everyone above you.To improve the national team then there would need to be more players playing in the premier league. Clubs are lazy now and would rather spend money then try and get players from their own academy.

Ok, so your the new England manager -
Liverpool fans ''why the f*ck is he dropping Henderson and especially Lallana after his recent form! f*cking Rashford cant even get a game for the Rags
West Ham ''why the fuck isnt Antonio given a chance ?! f*cking Sterling is sh*t, where's Noble''
Arsenal ''Jack Wilshere not fucking selected, managers a joke''
Spurs ''Walker dropped for Clyne..WTF ?!''
Rags ''No Rooney!!!!!!! WHAT A DISGRACE''
Talksport will have 3 hour phone in's, fans calling you a disgrace and the FA needs a whole restructure
The Sun will have 20 pages analyzing your tactics and formation and what went wrong
.... All this after a decent 1-0 win away from home.
So, lads, you got humiliated V Iceland but do you know what, you can all play again!!
To play 10 of the 11 that played V Iceland was nothing sort of ridiculous- now all the players know that, try as they might, they will not be dropped for poor performance
The captain should have gone down with the ship, Kane rested/dropped, we didn't need Dier V them when Stones can come into midfield etc
