Yep, watching Sky Sports News now, Venables gone as well. Fucking joke is - Barwick is gonna head the search for a new coach - he should have gone as well

He already lost his job yesterday by failing to get a draw. I am surprised they didn't sack him straight after the match; probably negotiating his compensation took the whole night.

^^ yeah probably took a while to add all the zero's..
Another example of being paid for failure, we wonder why English Football's in the shit..

No, the FA finished paying Eriksson a week or so before he took over at Man City. About Â£6000 a day I believe!

The thing is that the FA couldn't get Hiddink or Scolari - their first choices who might have taken it - or a Wenger or Mourinho, who would never take it - so they had to settle on McClaren. McClaren hired Max Clifford to help his campaign. And after what was reported as a 20 minute interview, Barwick said that they hired McClaren because he "interviewed well" over Martin O'Neill. What the hell is that all about.? And then they give him 4 yr contract, meaning another big bag of compensation and another huge contract for the next manager. While somewhere down the line, football investment will be cut - probably the kids football.

How ironic!

At least Sven always took mediocre England to the quarter-finals. By the way, did you know that Britainâ€™s economy will lose 1 billion pounds because of their failure

yeah, he wanted O'Neil and got overuled, sack him.

Felt a little sorry for Steve, out of his depth perhaps but he did try to bring tactical flexibility to the team, he did drop big players and give those on form chances to keep their place but while he wasn't up to the job of taking the hoofers through, didn't think he deserved all the abuse he got

I agree Magic - Steve was out of his depth but that wasn't really his fault. Harry said yesterday that few people would turn it down if offered it and mclaren is no different. The people that gave him the job failed most.

Barwick couldn't get his fat arse out of his seat at half time or he would have
