Changing the manager will not fix anything. The England football problems are the same as the British boxing problems. We have a society that are not mentally resilient but what is even worse is that…
I'm not angry, I know.
I'm just fed up with talking about the CMO problems and we...
I tell you, the biggest problem is when you think about it all, the Premier League.
Because they have a... uh a product which they sell around the world um which is entertaining but it's doing our players no good whatsoever um because this is a premier league side basically what played tonight and it's supposed to be the best league in the world now you're not telling me right all them uruguayan players were getting many teams in the world apart from suarez it was only 75 percent fit by the way cavani possibly apart from that who else is there And we go on banging a drum about we've got this and we've got that.
