Originally posted by RavelloI've said this for years. As you say, it doesn't matter who comes in and what credentials they have, the carpet always gets pulled from unerneath them. So I give up trying to support them because obviously, not even the newspapers in their own country does.
Even God wouldn't be good enough to be the England boss,face it.
I'm not sure how the papers treat the football team in Italy, but I'm sure it can't be as bad as this. 🙁

It's plain stupid and counterproductive, at least they could wait till Svennis' job is done, for **** sake!
The first opponents that the England team has is its own journalists, go figure.

Anglo-Saxon countries tend to be more critical of self and Mediterranean countries tend to be more critical of others.
That's why when it comes to clubs, Mediterranean people love to read what's going wrong about the other clubs, but when it comes to the national team they don't like open critics as long as a good result is still possible. We'll deny failure until it hit us in the face.
Originally posted by PalynkaBollocks, the truth is that England is the mother nation of gossip and the vast majority of people in that country prefers to read about Svennis' love stories than the report of the game.
