His response was immediate and decisive "No - definitely not" The reason being of course that instead of resigning, if he is sacked he receives a small fortune for doing precisely nothing over the next four years. Judging by his terrible choice of players, their positioning and tactics during the world cup, the more cynical of us may be justified in thinking that this was planned and deliberate in order to ensure a very lucrative payout and holiday perhaps for the rest of his life, especially when he signed his contract only a short time before the tournament. So for all of you baying for his sacking, please remember that you may well be giving him exactly what he wants. My view is that he shouls be MADE to stay when he will either regain some credibility for himself and English football, or alternatively his reputation will be ruined and he will be shown up as an abject failure without prospects for any gainful employment in the future. If however the manager was not to blame for Englands dismal performance, then perhaps the players themselves may well need to consider their own futures as England players.
