May as well have my say now I've calmed down a bit.
For me, the FA and the years of useless managers are only part of the problem. The biggest issue for me is the dim, unambitious, unimaginative professional players we produce and their
cowboy agents.
You might drag one or two to play in Spain if Real or Barcelona come in for them but otherwise none of them challenge themselves by playing abroad. Why not try and get signed by Sevilla or Valencia?
Or Bayern or Leverkusen (Germans drink beer and eat sausages, boys). Or Ajax, or anywhere else with a different culture, different playing and coaching styles?
But no, you can barely get them to go to the north east or the midlands. They all want to play in London or the north west, go to the same shite nightclubs, date the same dim tarts and eventually slide into retirement and senility at the same poncey golf clubs
Until our players get their heads out of their arses and have a look at the rest of the world, nothing will change
