The World Cup 2014 is almost upon us and the usual onslaught of how the English youth are failing has been brought forward from its place after a prerequisite dire showing by England at the tournament.
A voluntary commission has been set up to combat the ailment beset upon English footballers and has already been castigated as impotent by the English media. The purpose of the commission is to strengthen the pool of English talent coming through from ranks. Jamaican born Heather Rabbatts has been particularly vocal labelling the commission “all white and all male”, denoting that they would be out of touch.
England Manager Roy Hodgson and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand have been added to the ranks to give the panel more credibility, but according to Rabbatts, there are still questions regarding the purpose of their existence.
Some notable names form the body with FA Chairman Greg Dyke at the head and Glenn Hoddle, Danny Mills and Crewe director of football Dario Gradi among the constituency.
Of Rio Ferdinand’s appointment, Greg Dyke said he had “vast experience” and would have a “huge amount to offer to the debate”. Therein lies the problem; this commission is going to be engaging in another debate and ultimately come to no conclusion and thus take no action. The debate has been waged for years, it’s time a strategy was implemented.
