Being realistic, there are only Hart, Wilshere and Rooney that any England manager would want out of the current players. A lot of the other players aren't particularly good, including most of the old heads that continually infest the squad. What I would love to see if a manager that wasn't afraid to pick players on performance and not status and ego. Players like Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Johnson, Downing, Lampard, Barry and Gerrard really have no place in an international squad. The Euros are the perfect breeding ground for World Cups, teams like Germany, Holland and Spain have used youthful squads before, but you can be pretty sure we won't.
Why would anyone want the England job? Roddy has always mentioned the level of expectancy the role carries and it's true. The players are technically deficient and tactially naive and because the PL is a big money spectacle, they are talked up into contention. Redknapp would be daft to leave Spurs for the England job. With the player pool we have at the moment and the systems for youth development we have in this country, it's an impossible job.
