England have crashed out of the World Cup, and every English Saddler waves goodbye to Swedish Sven, the man who took £27m of FA money, and brought us precisely nothing – apart from every other country thinking England have forgotten how to play football, following 5 turgid games of dire, negative football.

It is at times like this we must remember who appointed Sven, whose decisions are ruled by his wallet and his privates, and who lost his tactical ability when his bank balance hit six figures. The guilty man was none other than Adam Crozier, who annointed Sven with a phone call from the Royal Box in Wembley in 2000; a man who has now single-handedly down his best to ruin the Post Office.

So stand up Adam Crozier, and wave goodbye Sven Goran Eriksson. The two men who have taken English football precisely nowhere in 5+ long years.
