we can't forfeit a tournament just to get rid of Mclaren wether it's good for England or not


I think we are missing the point with Israel and the fact they may do us a favour - nothing to play for, Avram Grant connections at Chelsea (owned by a certain billionaire Russian). Tal Ben Haim in defence - uhhh who does he play foe again. Oh yes a certain English team owned by a billionaire Russian.

A billionaire Russian who could offer anything to any country's football association...

I'm not suggesting anything here but I think we are fucked
