jj......I still don't agree. The FA have never picked a player before, either on reputation or form.
The manager does that, and I'm certain any England manager past or present would never allow a board to pick his team for him.
It's never going to happen.
I do agree that the FA are shocking at picking managers.
And they have very limited power as Wakey said. Their hands are tied in many ways.
I actually think they are doing a decent job overall. Wembley cost a fortune but it is one of the best stadia in the world. The facility at St Georges' Park will pay dividends in a few years. To get the U12/15/18/20 etc all potentially training alongside the full international team is a great idea. Get them involved in the set up early can only be beneficial for the player.
I keep saying it....the real blame lies with the Premier League and the clubs. Stop buying foreign players who are not much more than average. Start developing English talent.
