The huge influx of foreign players to the Premier League has ruined the England football team, according to a Sky News survey of clubs.

According to Sky

More than half of those questioned cited the Premier League's foreign legion as the major cause for England getting dumped out of the European Championships.

Nice attempt at finding the answers, but of course not correct, England’s football worries are to be found in more than just one area.

1. The FA board, THEY alone select and employ the England chief coach, a task they been proven to be woefully inept at.
   Looking at them yesterday I was struck with the thought they looked very much like the leaders of the Chinese communist party a row of old men to whom, the obedience of their charges is of far greater importance than their success.
   They are also guilty of NOT investing or taking a real interest in grass roots football in England.
   
   
   
2. The British press, have set themselves up as both judge and jury on all things Football, this is fine when they focus on matters football, but they have widened the scope to personal matters to such an extent, that I feel sure Frank Lampard’s granny is careful what she says at the bingo!
   In addition they over hype the team in any competition to the point where they give the fan’s unrealistic ambitions & expectations. All of which combines to make the position of England manager unattractive to anyone other than a true patriot or lunatic.
   
   
   
   
3. The Squad themselves, the players are the only 22 people on the field of play that can affect any result, it seems complacency is the order of the day in “Squad UK” at present. A culture of earning and keeping your national squad place should be fostered and developed.
   A recent piece by the female football correspondent of the Daily Telegraph criticising the commitment of the England squad a day before the disastrous result against Croatia, brought forth howls of indignation from a certain Manchester United defender,
   Who was daft enough to “forget” to take a drug test (That is the level of commitment he gives his job!) they must look inwards and decide why they choose to represent their country with the performances they give.
   
   
   
4. Foreign Club Managers, are employed to provide their club owners with financial and league success (Quite rightly)and they do not care a jot if England win anything
   NOT to provide our national squad with quality resource for free, they of course want heir boys selcted as this raises their value in the transfer market but they don’t want them playing at their full potential as they may get hurt a point they make strongly to the England head coach! Dont blame them now, we fans want our clubs to be sucesssful, money has changed Football forever and the national squad demands burns clubs money, it does NOT create it for them.
   
   
   
5. Foreign Club owners, do not want their stars injured on England duty and do not care a jot if England win anything or not. The football business needs to take a long hard look at its self, it makes its money being our national game yet it has mismanaged its collective finances to such an extent it deperatly needed these peoples money in many cases just to survive, yet the clubs & fans it seems, are quick to point the finger at"foreigners" ruining the demestic game.
   
   
   
6. Foreign Players, they only affect England in as much as their presence in the Premiership means we have less English players to draw our national squad from, this in turn secures the positions of the current crop, but why do managers and chairmen want them anyway? Money! They are cheaper than our wonderful, if forgetful home grown talent.
