The appointment of a manager like Allardyce was never going to address raising the national side from the pitiful depths to which it sank, culmintating with the embarrassment in France.
The England setup needs complete reform, from top to bottom. Allardyce is not a change agent, he's the absolute opposite. In his first squad he picked 18(?) of the 23 that Hodgson's took to the Euros. Not only did BFS retain Rooney he came out with that ridiculous statement "I can't tell him where to play".
Therefore the more of a laughing stock we become the better in my opinion. It seems Euro 16 wasn't sufficiently bad enough for the FA to trigger genuine change. Maybe this debacle will be, but somehow I doubt it.
