ferguson wouldn't manage England and the fans wouldn't want him. He is Scottish and we know deep down he has no time for England - he never played ball a lot of the time when it came to using his Man U players in friendlies.

i agree the team has too many egos - and Mourinho is the man to handle those egos

The chelsea players were devastated when Mourinho went - apart from Shevchenko. The guy commands respect.

Next summer is going to be awful for the English footie fans but maybe something good will come from this failure - we need to look where it's going wrong. If a player isn't motivated to play for his country and give his all then regardless of who he is or how good he is - he don't play for his coountry. Simple as that
Come on Mark, you can't have a go at Lyle for stating what he perceives, and what many people will perceive to be the truth, which is that England do suck at present. And compared with the usual performances of qualifying for the major competitions, you have to say they do. But it is relative, and I'd still back them to win a one-off game against the US.
