You won't see me disagreeing with any of that. Until we start putting a huge amount of money into grass roots, coaching etc etc then things will never ever change and good ol Engerrrrland will be where it's been since the 70's. We talk about golden generations time and time again but it's lions led by lambs I'm afraid. I'd be happy if the next England side fielded no one over say 27-28 and had a manager (English or not) who wanted to actually coach his players. Mind you would e big clubs let them play a friendly? I doubt it very much.
The whole set up in this country is pathetic (at best). Shamefull for a country that has football as it's national sport.
