I think the trouble is that the FA are desperate for 'a name' and keeps raiding the domestic leagues around the world for it rather than an experienced manager at international level. To abuse a cliche, it's a whole different ballgame.
I don't think we qualified in style at all. The results on paper flattered us. The performances weren't that good at all. We scored against the run of play in a few of them or played weak opposition. The only match that stands out is the Croatia match and that was a while ago now.
The rot has been there a while. We've given Capello time and space and we're just going backwards.
