I know most will say he deserves a chance and in the real world every one should get one but managing England isn't the real world anymore and some of us can see he's not the man for the job.
On Friday there were rumours that the players had a private meeting about formation and told second choice Steve they wanted 4-4-2. Second choice Steve was quick to come out deny everything and reiterate that he picked the team and, I quote "I take responsibility for that." The thing is, who are you going to believe?
Well, last night he made his first excuse that was paper thin and as an Aston Villa fan I've learnt to spot these as a true quality of the man and second choice Steve is not the right man for England on the back of last night.
Second choice Steve hasn't proven himself anywhere. He managed to keep Middlesbrough in the Premiership and that's about it. He worked under Sven in the England setup only because he worked under Sir Alex at Manchester United.
He's a good coach but he's not a manager and why do we have to go through this charade? Get rid now while we still have an England to be proud of.
