These are the muppets who chose the England manager.

[Parky]

"The selection process is fundamentally flawed. It has Barwick, whose expertise is commerce (specialist subject: TV contracts) assessing football abilities of which he has no experience or professional knowledge, then recommending his choice to the chairman of the FA, Geoff Thompson, a former referee turned career administrator who was once general manager of Doncaster Rovers. Once there is agreement between Barwick and Thompson, their recommendation is considered by a committee that includes well-meaning amateurs such as Roger Burden, the chairman of the Gloucestershire FA, formerly of the Cheltenham and Gloucester Building Society, and Barry Bright, the retired estate agent who is chairman of the Kent FA."

 

 

Basically a group of jobsworth career administrators with cushty perks to protect.

 

 

Carry on up the Khyber?

Its ridiculous how none of the FA board are being held accountable for things.

One of the people who chose Sven was Peter Ridsdale.

Basically they need to confer with professionals to get the right man. Wenger has offerred to help and Venables has come out and said he wasn't really allowed to help McGinge...So what was he doing there anyway?
