DD40(bravisimo) you know – I actually got tired of the schadenfreude in the run up to the world cup.
I feel heart sick for the good modest folk struggling to make it work. However there are some very dysfunctional and arroagant people around and in the team.
I especially fell sorry for Johnson – he took the job without the skillsand experience to make it work and was badly let down by a load of folk including Tindall
I know TeeJ, I was only teasing in the absence of O’Flashearty/a_a/Pigface/IdleJon schadenfreude.
I agree with you – what I find surprising is the “senior” players’ attitude towards their manager and representing their country in general. They sound like a bunch of footballers. I would have thought Johnson had the players’ respect. I’m not sure all this airing of the dirty laundry in public will do any good. A load of people in the middle somewhere will lose their jobs while the old farts still hang about to mess it all up again.
