If Sven had done any better in the first place, you think McLaren or any other Englishman would be the England boss now?? There's more politics than meet the eye - very reason why some footballing nations will never win the World Cup, even though they have wonderful teams.

Alan Hansen is one of the most highly respected pundit in the UK ... but I've never seen him on the box, so I dunno what he has ever said or not said. As for the rest of the bunch of old boys who made it to ESPN - McMahon, Whelan, Rush, Walsh, McManaman, Redknapp, Souness, etc, I personally see 2 categories: those who had a taste of management & those who didn't.
The former would be most critical of the club & their current managers ... while the latter may be critical, but they stay clear of jabbing the Gaffer.
