England wasn't ranked 4th in the World, 2nd in Europe before the Premier League.
If Pep, Kloppy or Poch were managing them instead of useless Southgate they would have a strong chance of winning one of the next two big tournaments.
You need a top manager to win things and a lot of luck in cup competitions.
St Georges Park is the biggest factor in England's improvement in the last 10 years. Their u17 2017 world cup squad included several who are now full internationals, or others playing at the top level. There are others obviously who haven't gone on to great success, but are still playing,including a certain Jonathan Panzo.
That is indeed what I said
Copycat
But we are no nearer to winning anything
Which was the point of the Premier league and the point all the pundits on here seem to be following
A bad season , Southgate gets sacked and everyone is moaning again when England get done by Iceland
You are as deluded as the English FA
Well the fact that Brentford have got to the big league puts your theory out to grass
The Premier League is a cash cow
Fueled by people stupid enough to pay for it
It was set up to make the big clubs loads of money at the expense of everyone else
As a side issue , and as an excuse from the FA for allowing the Premier League to set up , it was argued the Premier League would improve the standard of the English national team
England have won the square root of feck all since the premier league was established in 1993
The football might be pretty to watch but it seems that a clutch of good young players and people , even on here ,are sycophanticically dancing around as the piper calls the tune
You carry on , let me know when England win something but please don't link that success to the Premier league , that's a complete nonsense .
