It is time for the FA Board to resign en masse. Sven Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren and Fabio Capello have all produced nothing but failure. All have been given hugely expensive contracts with little result. Amazingly, Capello's contract was renewed just a few weeks ago, meaning that the FA will have to shell out even more cash if - as expected - he is sacked. There is no reason for England to fail in this way.

We have great players, playing for some of the best clubs in the world. Yet for too long, the FA Board have made the wrong decisions and judgements at crucial times. There have also been too many shenanigans at FA HQ. For years, England has punched well below its weight, and this World Cup was an unmitigated disaster, with just one 1-0 victory, against Slovenia. There needs to be a footballing revolution at FA HQ, with the fans having much more input into decision making. The FA Board have done sweet FA with the England national team. The buck stops with them. Its time for them to go.
