The FA have put together a group of people tasked with improving the state of English football, a team that includes Danny Mills and several other dinosaurs.

John Beck, one of the more infamous football managers of the past 30 years, has been taking a prominent role in the Football Association's programme to bring through the next generation of coaches.
Beck, known for his almost obsessive devotion to route-one tactics, is being employed by the FA to help licensed and unlicensed coaches qualify for their badges despite his notorious reliance on long-ball football during a career that once saw him offering cash bonuses for whichever of his players at Cambridge United kicked the ball the furthest.
At Cambridge, Beck ordered the grass to be left long in the corners so it would hold up the ball when it was kicked over the top. He was renowned for his cold-water bucket treatment, when players would be soaked before matches, and there were various stories of Cambridge embarking on underhand tactics to unsettle the opposition, from turning up the heating in the away dressing room to roughing up the pitch to make it as difficult as possible to play a passing game.
Up next, Dave Bassett and Bobby Gould.
The FA still haven't quite got the hang of it yet...
Dario Gradi is probably the most glorified dinosaur of the lot.
He brought through a string of pub teamers a gabillion years ago and has lived off that ever since.
Cleverley ruled out.
There is a chance afterall.
And tbf to Gradi, the biggest dinosaur on that panel is Howard Wilkinson by far.

How are they fossils still employed?
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Croatia 0-1 Belgium, Lukaku!
Townsend starts and as expected Wheelchair has been dropped.
