put your claws away boys and girls! Look what Harry did with Portsmouth (and lets face it, as far as international football is concerned England equate to Portsmouth). Take any premiership team, limit their budget and see which one can get to third in the premiership. Could Ferguson do it on a budget? Why are City in first place? Is that just purely because of the managers ability? Where are Chelsea this season thanks to all their money?
I always hoped Spurs would get a manager like Harry, England would be damned lucky to get him but with the useless prima donnas who call themselves top flight english footballers but have bugger all spine and no work ethic being chosen to play, even for Harry the England job may be a poison chalice.
For my two penneth, give the england players roles to championship players, they'd act like it was an honour to be chosen and play to prove they were worth it.
The england football team are a direct reflection on our country, in general full of uncommitted lazy toe rags who think they deserve something they aren't prepared to earn. We dream about being great but we haven't got the guts and determination to really succeed and when i watch a team from some so called third world country come out and play as if they were heroes with one chance to shine it makes me well up with pride for them and sadness that we just don't get the point.
At this point in time i don't think harry will salvage england and if he went spurs would lose all they have gained recently. Capello must be laughing all the way to the bank; he's got out without the shame of leading england to an ignominious dumping from the competition. Nothing i have seen shows that the team want to play for him, in fact using the word team is a tad strong.
Wow, rant over - sorry everyone
I'd happily be average for 24 million quid
