Why the fu*k is Greg Dyke making decisions about England's future? He has zero qualifications for this.

He's just watched the most humiliating World Cup campaign in recent memory and he's extending Roy's tenure.


Seriously what the fek does Roy have to do to get the boot?

He could take a giant turd in the Queen's lap and they won't get rid as they will have to pay out his ridiculous contract Salary.

No lessons were learned after S G Eriksson.

Its not Greg's fault.

Lots of reasons.

For example how long did it take to implement Sir Trevor Brookings' ideas at better coaching for kids?

Different bodies with different agendas; EPL has become a massive commercial product eg. B teams.

Well said - it seems daft he's doing that before we've even had the 3rd game!! There is a very real possibility that we could get 0 points - so for him to say what he has during an interview is just idiotic. He should have at the very least put out a holding message.

Did I hear Hodgson is on £3.5m a year? If so to break the contract could be a bit pricey. (They're not extending the contract but honouring it?)

If we want to go forward we have to do what the French did in the late eighties. They went root and branch setting up the Academies for the kids. I spent quite a few months each year back then, and used to walk down to the village club where they had kids as young as 8 or 9 talking free kicks trying to bend it around cardboard cut out walls, another group just learning ball skills trapping keepi uppi just being comfortable with the ball. Look what we do kids playing in some league once a week running around like headless chickens, parents slagging them off from the touchline. Until we get some body to oversee and implement change we will just go from tournament disaster to the next. As its been said Greg Dyke in charge of the FA what does that tell you about our intentions.

There's nothing wrong with our football. Just pick the best footballers and we'll win.
I'm sick and tired of managers being forced to pick players because they sell shirts.

yes

Trouble is all this takes money and sadly you'll win no plaudits or votes spending money on this sort of infrastructure. You go into any French village now and they all have good tennis courts. Go into any village in England and the tennis courts are in someone's back garden !

Agree. But I want Woy to resign. When we were level with Suarezguay and with minutes to go, why didn't that idiot Woy go for the draw? Instead the kids kept attacking and our defence went AWOL. Dyke is blah blah, Woy should resign. Or be fired. At this level a lack of vision and tactical nous is fking unacceptable.

Yet despite this the French have had several disastrous tournaments of their own in recent years
