I agree wholeheartedlywith you Michael, I would also like to see a home grown manager such as Pearce. Jack Charlton is a great character, but like myself too many birthdays. Stuart Pearce is currently in charge of the under­ 21 England Team, I do hope the FA do not make the same­ mistake with him as they did with Brian Clough.


Sadly there are deep failings in English football today . The current international crop may look good winning against lesser opposition in qualifying but have been made an embarrassment in recent major tournaments.

At least the FA had the decency to allow the courts to­ decide Redknapp's guilt or otherwise, they most­ certainly didn't do that for John Terry. I hope­ Terry takes them collectively and/or severally to the­ courts for disregard of his basic human rights and sues­ them to hell and beyond.
