So let's get this right, Hodgson or Wenger or Guidiola is going to get a maximum of two - three weeks with the England squad per season and that will make them into 'Barca'
Get a grip.
Players are not good enough, simple as that.
Please read again, i said both wenger etc would need 2-4 years to rebuild the england team, not 2-4 months
In the 2 months they spend together every year before they go back to their clubs where they spend the vast majority of their time.
What do you think...?
yes in 2-4 years they can, especially if you use hungry up and comming young players instead of big ego ***** like Terry and co.
Look at Germany and Spain. if they can do it, so can we if we have the time and patience and the rigth manager/setup to do so.
Klinsman and the current german manager all had a blueprint plan to completely transform germany into a more attacking attractive side and it took them 3+ years to achieve it.
Klinsman the other day said this himself in a recent interview, saying how he had to completely strip and dismantal and start again with the german national side for them to become more visious and attractive as a attacking side.
Before, Germany where known for just being rock solid in defence, playing as one unit and getting the job done. no fancy one touch passing, none of this barca type football. just pure hard work and discipline. That is what Germany where known for there football but thanks to Klinsman and co, they have transformered the german team into a team that does that and more.
This is why i believe Germany will not only win the euro's but possibly the world cup in 2014.
It takes TIME to develope a national side. it cant be done overnight and i aint saying that am i. i even said that even if they employed wenger or morinho instead of roy, england would have still got knocked out tonight as it takes years not months to build a succesful national side.
England DO HAVE quality players. You cannot come to me and say Gerrard, Terry, Hart, Cole, Rooney are all **** average players when week in week out they wipe the floor in the EPL, they are all world class players, you just need a manager to work with them for a couple of years not months.
to say English players are **** is complete and uttter nonsense. They fantastic players individualy, they just need to be developed as a national side better.
Whether roy can do this i do not know but IMO the FA need to stick with him until the next world cup or get rid of him as in now and bring on a world class manager that can start a fresh.
