The FA Want to promote more technical football and they appoint a proper long ball merchant. It's almost as if they don't know what they are dong.

"Ugly Betty" Boothroyd seems like a fitting successor to Stuart Pearce.

It's actually good news. It means Boothroyd won't be Mick's successor.

Jobs for boys. Pathetic, not the way to run devopment teams with someone who is so far removed from the style of play we are striving for.

Is it any wonder we never learn, where's the vetting process here.

To be fair to Boothroyd...

He masterminded the emphasis on an integrated Academy approach at Watford. His tactics *may* have been about getting more bang for considerably less bucks, particularly in the Prem. I'm willing to reserve judgement, at least he has a track record in developing and bringing on young players.

When he was Colchester and Northampton manager he did similar though - the footy at Colchester made us look like Brazil.

Plus all that w@nky cod physcolofy - painted opposition dressing room a dark colour, boxed over all their power points etc so they couldn't plug stuff in and just generally nobbish things like that - rather than develop footballers.

And when you watch his sides at U19 and 20 level recently for England it's long ball stuff again.

A friend of a friend played under him at Norwich and said he is an excellent man manager though - made him feel 10 feet tall. So there is room for him in the game - but his football philosophy just doesn't fit the 'England DNA' that the FA have probably spent millions developing
