Product Description
Product Description
The England national team has had only eleven full-time managers – and Brian Glanville has known them all. In this fascinating account of each man – his strengths, weaknesses and impact on the game – Brian Glanville provides an in-depth analysis of the national team in general as well as the individuals under scrutiny. Funny, controversial, measured and thought-provoking, Glanville’s assessment of why England has, for the most part, underachieved, will be required reading for all football fans and for every member of the FA Committee – if they are prepared to read some unpalatable truths.
On Revie: ‘He was never cut out for the lonely exposed life of an international manager – almost pathologically thin-skinned.’
On Robson: ‘A mixture of good and bad luck characterised his years. He never seemed fully in control.’
On Venables: ‘Highly competent but appointed a few years too late.’
On Hoddle: ‘A curate’s egg of a regime.'
