Out of interest; Southgate is the early fav @ 7/4, with Pardew and Howe @ 8s, Big Sam is 16/1, Neville is in there @ 20/1. Other names on the list are Redknapp, Wenger, Rodgers. Some bookies even have Hoddle as a contender and whilst some think this is a long shot @ around 12s and 14s, some of the firms have him in as 2nd fav @ 4/1. Yikes!
As a disinterested neutral I think England need to cast around for somebody who's in touch with reality and will get the layabouts out of the hairdresser's chair and down to the barber for a proper haircut and shave, knock this nonsense about them playing in the best league in the world on the head, drop the arrogance and petulance and finally remind them that, although they're playing a game designed for kids, there's no need to act like them.
Brilliant idea, douglas, but you'd also have to inform the press to stop writing such drivel about how great these young men are, building them up to be some sort of demi-gods. Some of them can read, you know, and those that can't probably get their agents to read the 'good' reviews to them.
England have a new goalkeeper Dodger, Jack Butland. He unfortunately broke his ankle prior to the tournament. Give Tony Pullis a go. No nonsense, and he knows what a long throw in can do.
