The English FA. What a Joke!!!
So the English FA have today set out the goals for English football. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/7386163.stm
So am I missing something or are we just going back in time? England has some of the best player’s in the world or so we are lead to believe. After the embarrassment of Steve McClaren the FA has gone out and got what they are saying as the best manager in the world, I am sure they are paying him a hell of a lot of money as well to do the job.
So what is the target for the next 4 years a Semi Final, are they having a laugh or what. Surely if you are bringing in the best and you have some of the best talent in the world you would maybe want to win a trophy or at least make it to a final.
Is this not the same target that we herd Sven say he would achieve? Is that what England has become just a semi final team at best? So if in 4 years Fabio walks away from England having taken them to a semi final he will feel job done, I know I wont think that as an England supporter. I would like to see my team in a final and maybe winning a trophy. Its only 2 years since the last world cup were England were one of the favorites and now they are a semi final team at best.
I believe on this report it is time for changes at the top. I think we need a winning mentality at the top of English football not just people who will be happy with a semi final. The only time England won a World Cup Sir Alf Ramsey said before the competition we are going to win, not we will make the semi finals.
What sort of message is this sending to the plays and the manager. Its time we told them we expect a Trophy in the next 4 years and then maybe they we start performing for England.
