I am fully aware that I am late to the why-England-were-eliminated-party here, but as I've pored over the litany of explanations on the web, I've found that there is an unfair discrepancy of player blame vs. manager blame.

Can Sven-Goran Eriksson Bring Notts County To The Premier League?

Former England, Manchester City and Mexico manager Sven Goran-Eriksson did not become director of football at Notts County “for the money.”  Nor, apparently, did he go for the prestige or mild degree of difficulty.  Eriksson inherits a club that finished 19th in League Two last season, essentially the worst club in England that can be […]

Sven for the sack?

Just what the English Premier League needs, another ill-informed, tinkering owner. I'm certain that Manchester City's billionaire owner Thaksin Shinawatra is a reasonably intelligent man.
