Ah. A better point. Depends what you want for england though. They tried to do the right thing with mcclaren as far as I can see and they got hammered. He was on £2m wasn't he?
Its clear that qualification and success is what people expect. They have paid the money to hopefully get that rather than 1m and not getting it. Qualification itself is a money generator so if we get to the wc in 2010 fab's money will be a small investment that's paid back many times over As I see it no manager of english origin was good enough. I would have been happy with rednapp though. So the point I suppose is that capello mourinho etc.. Could walk into a top job on £4m a year so if we want them them that's what we pay. Simple. The question of grass roots and the disused fa centre at burton is another point. Its hopeless short termism! -----Original Message----- From: Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 12:25 PM To: Steve Gillen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; damian.walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] Wise transfer talk "If Sainsbury's (for instance) decide to pay their CEO £100K per week with no performance targets (and I fully agree with your point that Sainsbury's never would) then simply because you may buy an occasional packet of biscuits from them, they are not spending your money, but their own. Unless the FA is partly funded from public funds then it is their money to do as they see fit with" It is aazing how people see things entirely different but as I see it the FA should be running football for the benefit of football and the England national side is merely one aspect of it. I am of the opinion that the FA have destroyed the image of the national side by their antics. I believe if they allocated £ 16 million to grass roots football and requested applications for the England anagers job at a salary of 1 million a year with bonuses they would have a better chance of getting the right man for the job. Fabio Capello and Sven aongst any would not be applying. FC is in it for the money, of course that does not mean he wont do the job............ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Gillen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "damian.walsh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 11:10 AM Subject: RE: [LU] Wise transfer talk Not wishing to argue with you, nor even necessarily disagree with you, except on one point.... Why do you think what the FA pays it's staff with someone else's money? Who's money is it exactly? The FA is not at all like the government who IS playing with OUR money - the FA are using the money they charge clubs to be a member of the FA and mosey they get from TV for the FA cup and a whole myriad of other charges they may make - you may indeed have contributed to this money by attending games, buying an England shirt or whatever, but it is not still YOUR money.
