    ...and then they go and sell the rights to England's World Cup matches to Setanta. So we'll all take the kids to the Walkabout shall we?

    How can they ever moan about managers and players choosing money above all else, when that's the example they're setting.

    Sky screwed over Virgin Media that we have so we get Setanta for free, many others will. However, I'm watching it in the pub.

    The FA is only interested in getting the ££££££££££££££££ in to pay for Wembley Stadium which could have been built in the Midlands for less than half the price.

    The FAs idea of improving the game is to employ 66 coaches "Skills Coaches" who will coach 5-11 year olds, who I believe are sponsored by Tesco.

    66 Coaches to cover all England. That is going to solve the problem, I think not.

    The FA do not put enough money in to grass roots.

    If they were serious about improving the game at grass roots they would make coaching courses free upto UEFA "B" level and provide free coaching to all kids between 5-16.

    I do believe that the man in charge of coachng development at the FA is paid in excess of £350k.
