We'll need someone with the leadership and acumen of Brian Clough, the best manager that England never had thanks to a selection system that is myopic and biased. Even a casual observer could see he was the man for the job; instead they chose the football doldrums.

At present the Tories seem best equipped although they need David Miliband to replace Corbyn to force them to raise their game. Ultimately though it is the British people that will succeed outside the EU; a self-belief both admired and resented by the continentals.
