European countries with similar populations to ours

France, Spain, Germany and Italy have all won either the WC or Euros since France 1998 some multiple times. With all the money in the Prem how on earth haven’t England won either?

Because the money doesn't go into developing players at grass roots, or at coaching.

Looking how many coaches Spain and Germany have at grassroots level in comparison.

What a joke the FA are.

I think it's a mystery to a lot of people why England haven't been a more superior side for the past 20-odd years. The teamsheets over the years have been overwhelming, but the outcome incredibly underwhelming.

[Jammy89]

For me a lot of it has been our players, in the sense we have had players who "must" play regardless of them fitting the system.

Gerrard and Lampard spring to mind.

It's a numbers game Bob not in favour of the Prem because of all that finance every year there is a smaller proportion of Home Grown players and every year there are more foriegn players.

The continental countries have gained most from the money in the English Premiership.

Because the FA is run by a group of Dinosaurs.
