Yeah what England really needs now is a bloke who's bummed around the arse end of the prem or below for his whole career, is renowned for route one football and who the players will never take seriously.
I disagree, I think he's shrewd, relatively intelligent, understands tactics, understands the game in depth and loves England.
And by the way... Big Sam would NEVER command the respect of the England players.
I'd say it's precisely the point Bry... they know we are there for 2 more years and have to accommodate us, why piss off your tenant 2 years before you need to? They already have the negative PR from the academy to deal with. Don't kid yourself that they are doing us any favours.
