Sacking Sven wasn't a mistake, it was time for a change, he'd had relative success but he'd been in charge of the team for 6 years! People wanted a change... The mistake was putting McClaren in charge.

But will there be? I reckon if we scrape through the bigwigs and coaching staff and media will be cooing on about England's grit to keep battling through and making it against all the odds & everyone's attention will be diverted.
but if England don't make it, the country's economy loses a lot of money, which makes it a more pressing issue for the government than if the country makes it but does shit.
