If we had a really good manager when we had Sven I really think we could have won something (Rio, Neville, Seaman, Campbell, Terry, Scholes, Gerrard, Owen, Lampard, Cole, Rooney etc)
In 1998 under Hoddle we played brilliant football, and after Venables in 1996 we were 100% going in the right direction.
Hoddle dropped Beckham and Owen. And left a fading Gazza out. Everyone went apeshit and we played the best football ive seen England play in my lifetime (we were shit in 1986 but played a good system, and 1990 we had a few good players) Thats the only tournament I still feel aggrieved about us going out of, even though as a nation we seem to moan about all of them.
Then Sven came and the modern era of England we see now began.
Now we have neither a good manager or good players.
We coach the skill out of them.
