:crylaugh: The FA is a laughing stock.

 

This is man, part of a 3 person panel deciding the next manager and he admits he is 'not a football expert'...Kind of a fundemental part of the working for the FA, certainly in that kind of role one would think.

 

Needs to be a shake up from top to bottom.

 

As for Rooney saying senior players hadn't lost faith in Hodgson, I think I smell abit of BS.

This is what I was referring to in my other posts in other threads, English football seriously needs changing starting with the FA. FA need a whole shake up. People on that board that know fvck all about football but probably just went to Eton.

The reason "senior players" didn't lose faith in Hodgson is because he kept picking them when they were nowhere near good enough anymore.

 

Bang on.

Not a football expert because he's primarily a business expert, in charge of the FA which is now primarily a very profitable business. Football seems to have become very much a secondary concern, keeping corporate partners happy being the most important. He wasn't appointed because he knows much about football.

Reminds me of the England cricket team in the 90's. All the administrators were businessmen with a passing interest in the sport.

Same thing is now happening in football.

This Martin Glenn is a Leicester fan apparantly!

Edit: also a former director here between 2002 and 2006.

If he's genuinely a fox he'd know all you need is a TEAM not a collection of individuals and a pragmatic coach to be successful.

He's a Wolves fan, having been brought up there.

Despite this, he's highly-regarded at LCFC - he nearly set up his own consortium to save the clubwhilst they were in Administration, but just joined up with Lineker instead.

Got to respect Rooney for being an admirable captain and toeing the line...

Brown nosing hoping he will still be part of future squad.

FA is a joke. I have more trust in not impregnating my wife without pulling out then i do in those tossers making things better

Who appoints these people - genuine question?
