    Where did it all go wrong for grassroots football? August 22, 2016 1.25pm BST Luca Bruno/Shutterstock Make no mistake about it: English football is entering new terrain. New media investments, and the changing roles and structure of clubs, has led to football rapidly changing both economically and culturally – despite the actual game itself remaining relatively stable – and right now English football should be at its pinnacle. But on an international stage, England is still in a vacuum of underachievement and failed expectations. This summer after another early exit from the European Championships, the then England Manager Roy Hodgson and the Football Association (FA) parted company. The FA looked to the powerful “super-agent” Jorge Mendez for support recruiting Hodgson’s successor. Sam Allardyce was lured from Sunderland. Allardyce’s portfolio shows no major trophies in his career achievements and his appointment was greeted by a large chorus of critics. His style of play is contradictory to the FA’s new playing and coaching philosophy, which endorses ball retention. Allardyce endorses lots of long balls, meaning many within see Allardyce’s appointment as a backwards step for English football’s development. The FA, not known for wise decisions and long-term vision, is currently under pressure to reform it’s approach to grassroots football or face government funding sanctions. This is not the first time pressure has been applied to the FA – it previously received funding penalties of £1.6m from Sport England, for failing to grow grassroots football participation – with evidence showing a decline in participation in football across the UK (see figure 1).

  • The Rafael Benitez Column: Gerrard Can Recall How We Blocked out Ibrahimovic
    The Rafael Benitez Column: Gerrard can recall how we blocked out Ibrahimovic England must create a screen in front of the Sweden danger man and starve him Rafael Benitez Friday, 15 June 2012 England have a very clear obstacle tonight when they play Sweden in Kiev. Everyone will be talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the impact he has already had in these championships for his country and before I go any further on the subject of England I must say that I think that there is a way of dealing with him. It's seven years since our Liverpool team encountered Ibrahimovic in the quarter-final of the Champions League, on our way to the Istanbul final of 2005. He was the big threat in Fabio Capello's Juventus side who we met at that stage but our three-man defence in the Stadio delle Alpi shut him out for the goalless draw that sent us through, after a 2-1 win at Anfield. Yes, Ibrahimovic is very dangerous in the air and he has a very fine touch, but he doesn't like physical contact too much. He's not the quickest player but when he receives the ball to his feet, he likes to keep it, controlling with his chest, perhaps, and bringing other players in. He likes to turn, pass, maybe win some fouls. You might say he's a little like Peter Crouch in some of these positive respects – a player who makes up in other ways what he might lack in pace. The key is to create a screen in front of Ibrahimovic, to prevent him receiving the ball in those areas.

    Nouse Web Archives Pardew latest casualty in manager merry-go-round that excludes Page 1 of younger coaches 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Sport › News & Features Comment Varsity Roses College Cup Fantasy Football Pardew latest casualty in manager merry-go-round that excludes younger coaches The recent sacking of West Brom manager Alan Pardew is yet another sign that Premier League clubs should stop recycling older, waning managers and instead put their trust in younger English managers, argues Jordan McWilliam Tuesday 3 April 2018 Alan Pardew departs as manager of West Brom after 8 successive league defeats. Photograph: 101greatgoals. A COLLECTIVE SIGH was let out when Alan Pardew was appointed manager of West Brom in January, as yet another struggling English team in the Premier League had made another uninspiring appointment. It is no surprise, then, that 3 months later Pardew has been sacked with only one league win to his name, leaving the Baggies 10 points adrift of safety. West Brom are not alone, however, as established middle aged journeyman coaches are littered throughout the wasteland of struggling Premier League sides: David Moyes, Mark Hughes, Paul Lambert, Sam Allardyce, Roy Hodgson – with an average age of 57.8 – represent the glass ceiling for successful young managers looking to climb the ladder in England. When Marco Silva was appointed Hull City manager last season, Sky Sports Soccer Saturday pundits Phil Thompson and Paul Merson bemoaned another “foreign manager” gaining a Premier League job at the cost of young English managers, the example given by Merson was Gary Rowett.
