One of the things I find infuriating it that the FA seem to have the same problem in their set up that they did 30 odd years ago, nothing has changed. It's still and old boys network of suits that refuse to appoint any man that will rock the boat and call a spade a spade when they are in the job.
England missed out on one of the all time greats in Clough because of that and supposedly his brusk forthright attitude was the major tick in the negative column for O'Neil last year.
This is plainly a fucked up situation. With the pressure from the press and the terraces this job clearly needs the strongest of characters to be a success. The FA have got to take a look at themselves and realise that they have to think about the fact that the England manager should not be a man who is just their subordinate.
I don't mind saying that I was not cheering when England equalised last night as I think we needed to fail to have the opportunity to move forward.
