I agree with those on here who castigate the FA. It is getting on for 25 years since the BURNS report branded the FA as a set of useless self interested blazers and recommended wide ranging reform. Have we done it? Of course not.
But i want to mention one other matter, namely the quality of English coaching. The last English manager to win the top echelon was Howard Wilkinson ffs.
We have talent, but as someone mentioned, it does not translate from successful age group sides to the senior level.
What is going on in the clubs? I don't have the knowledge or the insight to comment, but it is clear that there is something lacking in the nuturing of our talent. Why do foreign coaches dominate the prem?
Perhaps someone with that understanding could comment.
