A black Day for English Football

Well, what a farce.England have failed to qualify for a major tournament for the first time since 1994.I believe it is a combination of things:
Lack of interest/investment at grass roots level
The huge influx of foriegn players in the premier league.In October a survey was taken on teams in the premiership, 175 players were "of foriegn extraction" 75 were English
Too many games played
Too much emphasis on the champions league and the colossal amounts of money generated in that competition.
Lack of direction in the management team
Lack of available days for preparation, and in some cases preparing foolishly eg the "Friendly" in Austria on Friday.
I don't begrudge the players the money they earn, no -one would turn around and say pay me less,however it really gets to me when there is a lack of passion pride and commitment when they play for the national side.
Where do we go from here? upwards hopefully
