I can't see anything wrong with this tbh. I can, we have a pretty bad record on fake pitches.

Our system is pretty much a shambles from top to bottom, from the lack of coaches at grass roots level and its over fixation on results, to talented youngsters being able to be picked up by the top clubs for a pittance only to never see the playing time they need to delevop, assuming any player manages to avoid this, they might go on to have a decent season, show a lot of potential and again, be picked up by one of the top clubs only to spend their time on the bench. Then you have the problem of the best talented players being picked for the England u21s, who have recently relplaced a dinosaur with another one, there has never seemed any consistancy with tactics and ideas with the England squad, it almost feels like an entirely different team, when its main goal should be to prepare players to make the step up. The worst part though is that, despite it already being an utter farce, the FA, being the FA, will undoubtedly find a way to make things even worse, I mean Greg Dyke is Chairman, a bloke who supports Brenford AND Manchester United ffs! and whos only links to the game seem to be having been on the board of both, hardly a fitting CV for the person seemingly in charge of fixing our deep and numerous problems in getting young english players to an adequate level.

jesus, how low is their record transfer, expected more for a club thats spent quite a few years in the top flight
