Curbs England Fears

Alan Curbishley has been widely quoted today as saying that an Englishman may never be appointed to the post of England manager,

"Steve McClaren sheltering under his umbrella as England lost to Croatia last month may well be the last image we have of a national manager from this country," said the West Ham manager.

"That's it, I don't believe we will ever give the job to anybody from England again.

"The FA have made the position redundant as far as an English manager is concerned. A proud tradition may well have come to an end."
