Pray Silence for the Inquest

When expectations are not met and the safety of the nation is not at stake, isn’t the best response an inquest not an execution. An inquest not conducted by the self-interested and involved, but by individuals far removed from the cauldron of clichés that inhabits the world of English football.

The team, the manager and that collection of bumbling idiots at the top of the game are not going anywhere, and they are not going to do anything that is going to fundamentally change our approach to the next international competition in the next 6-12 months, so lets us have a long hard look at what makes other international teams more successful, and act accordingly.

Could it be that other countries have football associations that pull their weight and are not dominated by a grotesquely unbalanced league, paying unsustainable wages from a base of £2 billion pounds of debt?

Sacking the manager might appeal to the blood lust of the tabloids, but it will not change anything. Let’s have a proper independent debrief followed by some in depth analysis and put playing for country back at the top of the pile.
