As for Euro 2008, england are in one of the easiest groups. If they dont qualify it wont be the NOTW fault, it will be down to the players
That talent was available to keegan the previous manager but he chose to use batty and co instead. So its ok to credit sven for using youngsters and building a new team when things are conveniant but then to say any manager can do well with these players, sorry but its not quite that simple, a bad manager can quite easily lose games with the same players.
