I am sure that every view on the team at the pinnacle of our national sport has been expressed but here are a few of my thoughts.
Why are the English FA doing paying £24 million to any manager? Absolutely staggering! Immediately abandon this stupidity.
Having no manager and captain now makes no difference to how well England will do in the Euro's.
By definition the captain of the English team is given to human being so why do we have expectations that they are going to be a saint. The role is only important to the media who need a figure to talk to and who shakes hands first. Recent captains who have been found wanting by the media are simply a reflection of society. Honestly finding a morally upstanding England captain will give me more reason to be shocked.
Every football fan in the country thinks they could do the job and I think lots could if it didn't involve the media pressure that descends. Ultimately we don't have the best squad of players in the World or Europe and if you believed the table that we are the 4th or 5th best team in the world that still means there are 3 or 4 better teams. International football involves too many non playing days, the weeks of build up is suffocating, daily press requirements etc. The job requires remarkable PR skills rather than remarkable football management.
For what's it's worth I would like Martin O'Neill to be the next England manager.
