Paul Warne took the Millers down last season. Therefore he must be a poor manager. Many were saying, and I've no doubt that you were one of the dissenters, sack him...not a manager...he's a fitness coach, and all the usual cliches that are trotted out by the armchair incumbents such as yourself.
Fast forward six months to January and the naysayers began to go quiet. Some were hating it, the ones that it more important to be right rather than the Millers be successful.
Would you agree that there is a new regime and philosophy that is capable of breeding success?
Back to England. They don't play 46 games per season so naturally changes take more time.
I have mentioned the St Georges project before. It opened in 2014, and since then England are currently the world under 17 champions, world under 20 champions and Euro under 19 Champions, and have reached the semi final of a World Cup. Forget the Iceland result. That was under Hodgson, who wasn't part of the project. Southgate is.
Even you have to admit the 2018 was better than 2014. A draw against Costa Rica.
St Georges is based on the German model of having a central location to get all the age groups together in one place. Alexander-Arnold and Loftus-Cheek are the first two successes of many more to come.
Euro 2020 is the time. It's being played across Europe, but Englands group games, the semi final and final will be played at Wembley. it's virtually a home tournament.
Feel free to come back to me in two years time and tell me that I was talking b******x
