The man had potentially the best squad of players available to England for decades and yet he squandered them. If he had been motivational and creative he could have won two major tournaments but instead choked and became 'first loser' again.
In fact I'd go as far to say he managed to stifle and cancel out all of the natural football creativity and flair these players have.
It's like handing me the Man City squad and heralding my success because I managed to keep us in Champions League football.

100% agree.
Nice bloke, etc, and the only other positive about his tenure, to me, is that he seems to have created a good atmosphere within the squad, making players WANT to play for their country.
(Yup, it should always be so - you'd expect them to play for nothing, just for the honour, but the spoilt, ego driven twats of today aren't like us anymore!!)
