I've always believed that today was probably not the day to talk about Sven's successor. The answer we have offered in the past is that it should be the best person for the job. If he is [English] so much the better. That is where we have to start. |
If and when we qualify, we would go into the World Cup as one of the teams that can win it. |
It is a manageable situation. |

Peter Osgood made a wonderful contribution to English football, playing four times for the national side and serving clubs like Chelsea and Southampton with such great distinction. |

Thankfully, these kinds of incidents are few and far between these days and that is due to the increased vigilance of our game. It is also why behavior of this nature must be treated seriously and swiftly - sending a clear message to those involved that their actions will not be tolerated. |

This is very sad news. Peter Osgood made a wonderful contribution to English football. |
Until you sit where Sven sits, the profile of the job is unimaginable and with it the newsworthy value follows it. |
We are clearly giving some serious consideration to putting together a bid for the tournament. |
We are in discussions with FIFA on retrospective disciplinary action and we have raised diving as a priority area where video evidence could be used. |
