What Next??

After England's dismal World Cup showing something surely needs to be done. First things first, the only people who really get passionate about England are English, not Italian. This, as you've probably spotted, means only one thing, Fabio has to go, he doesn't really have the real English feeling to an encounter with the Germans! Whereas I thought this may be a good thing, keeps him calmer, but in hindsight I rather believe an English manager would have fired the team up much better. So to the candidates, Roy Hodgson has to be prised out of the hands of the Scallies for the good of the national team and should be number one choice (I personally cannot believe Pool fans are already slating him saying he's not a big name, he's f***in LMA manager of the year what more do you f***in want!), Martin O'Neill is another for me who should be interviewed and (rather hopefully) Harry Redknapp or even David Moyes. In any case the manager should be English, and just for those smart arses pointing out O'Neill ain't so he's close enough!!
Second, I'll turn my rant on the FA, they need restructuring such that England take importance, not the Premier League (I'll turn on that later!), but they need more coaches etc. to make sure for example they can arrange training weeks for say 40-50 England prospects, maybe 3 or 4 times a year, splitting them into 2 groups of 20-25 at the end to play a separate friendly each. This enables youngsters to come in and play alongside those experienced players, those who have been to the World Cup, and we (or in this case the FA who decide the squad) can view more talents. This is rather than just playing endless pointless friendlies with 2 teams in each half, where nobody really learns anything! This also gets the players together more often and for longer periods so they can gel as a team and the national team really becomes the important thing to all English players.
Time to turn on the biggest contributor to the country's downfall, the money-spinning Premier League. There are so many issues here I'm sure I'll think of some later that I haven't written here! First regards the fact that it's reported as the best league in the world, which is true but for the wrong reasons as it is the World Club League in my eyes. How to put it right??
1) Have the breaks as described above for international breaks.
2) Scrap the League Cup, just a pathetic waste of time, no other country has a second cup and all the Championship, League 1 and League 2 sides have the Johnstone's Paint Trophy to play for.
3) Bring in the following rules regarding home grown players. In my view the Champions League rules should be implemented, like other European leagues, where 6 starting players must be English. Also introduce a rule, similar to that of the Football League for next season, where 13 squad players must be home grown (meaning any foreign player qualifying for British passport doesn't count!) and a maximum squad size, to prevent clubs just presenting first team squad numbers to home grown players who will never play!!! I reckon 25 is a good number.
4) If the worst comes to the worst, reduce to size until the number of games is manageable and players don't become knackered, start most likely with 18.
This we'd soon see would bring more emerging young English players to the top level and ready for the national team, for example I counted 11 out of 44 Champions League starters last season as home players, 25%, very very very poor.
However I think another massive contributor to the misery of World Cup 2010, is that of the media. For example the Sun advert where the England crest is presented with a second star is just far, far too much pressure. For 2014 this sort of stuff has to stop! Then suddenly the Sun slags off the team when they fall.
We should forget Euro 2012 in my opinion, if we do well then that should be taken as an added bonus, and turn our full attention on rebuilding a gelled, hungry England team to take to Brazil in 4 years time.
