In an effort to apologize to England supporters for hounding out Sven Goren Eriksson, who we now admit was pretty good as England manager after all, our editor has agreed that were England not to make it to the European Championships then his position would be untenable and he would go.

Hounding out Eriksson forced the FA to appoint Steve McClaren, who was 'offered outside' by 575 England supporters last night, a record.

England was officially the worst team in the history of football in the first 45 minutes against Andorra last night. They eventually won 3-0.
