The life of a Premier League manager is a precious one; they seldom last as long as they should, with trigger-happy owners desperate to instigate the change their ailing clubs need to remain competitive, whether that’s through surviving the drop or simply staying relevant in the race for European football.

So with 20 bosses fighting for their jobs on a weekly basis, who could be next to leave? With the 2024/25 campaign in its final weeks, there could be clubs contemplating changes ahead of the summer.

Here, our ranking takes us through the managers we think are closest to being shown the exit door. As well as the threat of dismissal, we have also factored in managers wo may be tempted to jump ship, adding some uncertainty to their futures at their respective clubs.

This is how we think the Premier League’s managerial sack race stands at this late stage of the campaign, with our reasoning for each one below:

Here’s a further look at our rankings in more detail…

1 Oliver Glasner Crystal Palace

Oliver Glasner’s tenure at Crystal Palace could hardly have gone better. After comfortably staying up in the 2023/24 season, he picked the Eagles up from a slow start to the most recent campaign and survived with ease once again.

But the crowning glory came in the FA Cup final at Wembley, as Crystal Palace became cup winners for the first time with a historic 1-0 win over Manchester City to write their names into the record books. There is simply no one they’d swap the Austrian for right now.

2 Arne Slot Liverpool

There are few safer hot seats in Europe than the one occupied by Arne Slot at Liverpool. The Dutchman steered the Reds to a pretty comfortable Premier League triumph in his first season in charge as he replaced the great Jurgen Klopp.

Cynics will argue that the competition was nowhere near as fierce, but Liverpool’s status as a top side in English football and Europe looks assured under the former Feyenoord boss, who will look to emulate Jose Mourinho by securing two titles in his first two seasons.

Having not bought anyone of note in the summer (sorry, Federico Chiesa), his success is all the more impressive.

3 David Moyes Everton

It may be a slight stretch to call David Moyes a miracle worker, but even the Friedkin Group must be delighted with how things have gone in the past few months for Everton.

With the Scot drafted in to rescue his old club from relegation ahead of their move to Bramley-Moore Dock, Moyes not only made the Toffees more solid in the wake of Sean Dyche’s exit, but turned them into winners.

Seven wins and counting since January saw Everton coast to top-flight safety, and with only four league defeats since Moyes’ return, the Merseysiders were able to give Goodison Park the send-off it deserved without the threat of demotion hanging over them. There is no one more fitting to kickstart the new era.

4 Mikel Arteta Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has transformed the Gunners into a European powerhouse. Despite not adding to his FA Cup triumph in 2020, the north Londoners are undoubtedly one of the strongest sides in the league, if not on the continent.

That is a testament to the Spaniard’s work at the Emirates Stadium, with Arteta juggling injuries and suspensions galore in 2024/25 to steer Arsenal to just their third Champions League semi-final and what looks to be a third successive runners-up place in the Premier League.

With a big summer surely in the offing, you can bet Arteta will be backed to keep up the good work.

5 Vitor Pereira Wolves

Vitor Pereira was tasked with saving Wolves following his arrival in December 2024, with the Old Gold still in single figures in terms of points, and five from safety.

A superb run of form – including six straight wins between March and April – effectively secured their survival, even ahead of the likes of West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Heading into his first full season, Fosun must be licking their lips over what the Portuguese coach can do with his squad over the long term.

6 Unai Emery Aston Villa

Aston Villa have had a superb time of it under Unai Emery, with Champions League qualification leading to some of Villa Park’s greatest nights.

They have all been made possible by Emery’s work since his appointment in November 2022, which has seen the Villans transformed from Premier League strugglers to Champions League quarter-finalists in less than three years.

With European qualification assured (and perhaps another CL berth), Emery will surely not be going anywhere anytime soon.

7 Andoni Iraola Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola is one of the Premier League’s brightest minds in the dugout. He has taken Bournemouth to the brink of Europe following a superb top-flight campaign that has delivered their highest points total at this level.

That consistency will leave him with plenty of credit in the bank, though a big test will be how he addresses the departure of Dean Huijsen in the summer.

The next step for the Spaniard will be European qualification, and having performed well against the bigger sides in the league, Iraola may yet set his sights on new heights down on the south coast.

8 Marco Silva Fulham

Marco Silva looks at home as Fulham boss, with the Portuguese coach delivering another impressive campaign. Indeed, the Cottagers have only just exited European contention at the back end of the season.

His record at Craven Cottage thus far suggests they will remain an awkward side to face, with cup success or European qualification surely only around the corner if they can keep progressing under his tutelage.

9 Thomas Frank Brentford

How Thomas Frank continues to get results out of Brentford is remarkably impressive. Not panicked by the exit of Ivan Toney in the summer, the Bees have shown they are arguably a better side without him, while the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have steadily improved, demonstrating Frank’s capabilities as a coach.

European qualification remains a slight possibility heading into the final game of the season, and it would be just rewards for a club that is one of the most stable in the Premier League, largely thanks to Frank’s prowess from the dugout.

You get the feeling that as long as Frank remains, Brentford are in good hands.

10 Ange Postecoglou Tottenham

Who knows what the future holds for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur? Anyone with Spurs’ results record would surely have expected a dismissal at some point. But to give credit where it’s due, Daniel Levy’s decision to stick by his man delivered Tottenham that long-awaited trophy following Europa League glory in May.

However, one gets the impression that all is not rosy for the Australian in N17, with Postecoglou appearing to have a fractured relationship with the supporters during the past 10 months.

Whether a European trophy can build bridges and lead to a season more akin to his first in north London remains to be seen, so you do feel that Postecoglou’s future is still in the balance.

da aposte e ganhe： The season may be over, and the fans may still be basking in the glory of Europa League success, but there is still plenty of work for the Tottenham Hotspur board to do in the coming months.

da apostaganha： The summer transfer window is set to open in a matter of days, and with Champions League football now secure, Daniel Levy and Co must do everything they can to bring in the best players to support Ange Postecoglou and his squad.

However, it’s not all about incomings, as the club now have a golden opportunity to offload a number of players who simply aren’t good enough.

Specifically, Levy and Co should look to sell someone who’s in real danger of becoming the club’s new Tanguy Ndombele.

Ndombele's Spurs career

Back in the summer of 2019, Spurs were crying out for some midfield reinforcements, and so the club did something quite out of character and smashed their transfer record to bring in Ndombele for around £63m.

There was plenty of excitement around the move at the time, as the Frenchman was coming off a stellar campaign with Lyon, and several prominent journalists were even comparing him to the simply sensational Mousa Dembélé – yes, seriously.

Unfortunately, aside from the good performance here and there, the Longjumeau-born ace never got anywhere near the level that was expected of him, so much so that after just two and a half years, he was sent back to Lyon on a short-term loan.

After that, he spent a season with Napoli and then another with Galatasary, finally leaving N17 after his contract was terminated by mutual consent, with 91 Tottenham appearances to his name, in which he scored ten goals and provided nine assists.

With his fee, lack of game time and poor performances all taken into account, it’s not hard to see why journalist Paul Brown described Ndombele as “one of the worst signings Spurs have ever made.”

Unfortunately, the club now have another midfielder who could be in a similar conversation, unless they sell him this summer, that is.

The Spurs player who must be sold

Now, while a number of squad members should be sold this summer, the player we are talking about is Yves Bissouma.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Expand Collapse

Like Ndombele before him, there was quite a bit of excitement around the Mali international’s transfer to Spurs back in 2022, with content creator George Benson describing the deal as “an absolutely brilliant signing.”

However, instead of getting the unreal midfield destroyer who was sensational for Brighton & Hove Albion, the North Londoners ended up with a player who has had more questionable performances than good ones.

For example, while he was undeniably excellent in the Europa League final, he was terrible against his old club on Sunday, earning himself a 4/10 match rating from Alasdair Gold, who rather charitably described him as ‘clumsy.’

It was a similar story away to Fulham earlier in the season when Gold gave him 3/10 and wrote that ‘his use of the ball was dreadful.’

Go back another few months to December, and he put in such a poor display at home to Chelsea – in which he gave away a penalty – that Jamie Carragher slammed him for being “absolutely ridiculous.”

Finally, on top of being unable to string together a number of good performances, the 28-year-old has a sketchy fitness record at best, which has seen him miss 25 games for club and country since moving to N17.

Ultimately, it’s in Spurs’ best interest to say thanks for the performance in the final and sell Bissouma this summer before another season of dismal displays turns him into the modern Ndombele.

Spurs could sign an upgrade on Tel for £38m this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are potentially two games away from doing something seriously special in the Europa League.

However, while Ange Postecoglou could lead his side to continental success, the club’s domestic form cannot be described as anything other than shambolic.

With three games left to play in the Premier League, the North Londoners have been on the losing side 19 times and sit just a point above West Ham United in 16th place.

Unsurprisingly, such wretched form has led to reports suggesting that Postecoglou is set to be replaced in the summer, regardless of what happens in the Europa League.

There have been a whole host of names linked with the club in recent weeks, but there has been one which would represent a massive coup for the Lilywhites: someone who’s an even bigger name than José Mourinho and would be an enormous upgrade on Ange.

Tottenham's manager search

The last few weeks have seen a variety of managers linked with the Spurs job, and while there have been some underwhelming ones, like Scott Parker, there have been some more exciting ones as well, like Marco Silva and Andonio Iraola.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

The former has helped turn Fulham from a yo-yo club into a mid-table Premier League side that can give anyone a game on their day.

It’s been an even more impressive transformation down at the Vitality Stadium, with Iraola taking the Cherries from relegation favourites near the start of last season to genuine contenders for a European place this season.

Moreover, the Spaniard helped to get the financially minuscule Rayo Vallecano promoted to La Liga during his time in the Spanish capital.

However, even with the aforementioned managers, there is an element of risk, as none of them have taken over a club as big as Spurs, so there will always be lingering questions over how they’d cope with it.

So, with this in mind, reports from GIVEMESPORT late last month that claimed the Tottenham board had held international discussions about hiring Carlo Ancelotti are so exciting.

It would be an incredibly ambitious move, and one that might not pan out if reports linking the Italian to the Brazilian job are accurate, but if it paid off, the club would have themselves a significant upgrade on Postecoglou and a bigger name than Mourinho.

Why Ancelotti would be an incredible hire

So, before we look at how he stacks up against Postecoglou, let’s delve into just why we think he’s now a bigger name than Mourinho, as we’re sure it’s a point that the ‘special one’ would wholeheartedly disagree with.

Firstly, timing is crucial in this argument, as during Mourinho’s peak years at Chelsea, Inter Milan and, to some extent, Real Madrid, he’d undoubtedly be the ‘bigger name’, but in the last seven years or so, that has completely changed.

For example, since the start of the 16/17 season, the Portuguese coach has only won the League Cup and Europa League with Manchester United, and the Conference League with AS Roma.

In comparison, the Real boss has won the Bundesliga and two German Super Cups with Bayern Munich and three Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles, one Spanish Cup, two Spanish Super Cups, two UEFA Supercups, the FIFA Club World Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, all with Real Madrid.

Moreover, the Reggiolo-born mastermind also won the Champions League in his first stint with Los Blancos and twice with AC Milan, so there is a very genuine case for him being the greatest manager in the world.

With all that said, it should come as no surprise that when we compare his recent record to Postecoglou, he comes out so far ahead that it is almost pointless.

For example, in his current stint with Real, the “elite” 65-year-old, as dubbed by talkSPORT host Adrian Durham, has won 161 games, drawn 34 and lost 35, which comes out to an average of 2.25 points per game.

In contrast, the Australian has overseen 45 wins, 14 draws and 37 losses, resulting in a far worse average of 1.55 points per game.

Ultimately, if there is any chance whatsoever for Spurs to sign Ancelotti in the coming weeks, they have to take it, as he’d be a monumental upgrade on Ange.

Fewer touches than Vicario: Ange must sell Spurs dud after 4/10 display

Tottenham Hotspur need a clear-out this summer after another game where they failed to claim all three points.

Rashid Khan starred with the ball for Afghanistan but their batters fell short against India’s attack

Alagappan Muthu20-Jun-20241:18

Manjrekar: SKY showed his value on a tricky pitch

There were geniuses at play in Bridgetown, wearing the India blue as they cruised to victory in their first Super Eight game against Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup 2024. The pitch, once again, was tough to bat on: slow and offering purchase to everyone willing to roll their fingers across the ball. Suryakumar Yadav, though, found a way to prosper as he often does in T20 cricket, helping his team post an above-par total of 181 for 7. That brought Jasprit Bumrah into the fray and he immediately set about dismantling Afghanistan, his two early strikes leaving them indisposed for the rest of the chase.

The old guard

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma did not play a single T20I between the end of the previous World Cup in 2022 and January this year. But they’re here now because they want that medal around their neck. They want to be world champions. And to that end, they’ve been open to batting in a different way. Rohit made only 8 off 13 but he looked to hit a boundary off six of those balls. Kohli was going smoothly but he wasn’t willing to settle for that. He looked to hit Rashid Khan for six and got caught.After being burned in big matches for being too conservative, India have ditched the safety-first approach. And the reason for that played out in the middle overs of this game. When Kohli fell, ESPNcricinfo’s Forecaster had their total tracking down by 18 runs to 171. In the space of a mere six balls, the other batters had it tracking back up by the same number of runs. India were set to reach 189 now. That’s how quickly a game can change in this format. That’s why it’s better to have tried and failed than not try and all.

Surya on song

It’s possible India knew this all along but were holding back because they weren’t comfortable with the options they had down the order. That’s changed now because their best T20 batter mans the No. 4 position.Suryakumar played some special shots – not in the way you usually associate with, where he finds a soft spot in the laws of physics and mercilessly pokes holes in them. But more in terms of just knowing his areas and trusting his skill. Even the one time when he made jaws drop to the floor – dragging Azmatullah Omarzai from somewhere off the wide line to the square-leg boundary – he was just trying to put away a full toss. The legside was the shorter boundary. It just made sense.Jasprit Bumrah struck off his second ball against Afghanistan and finished with 3 for 7•CREIMAS

Suryakumar focused on three things while he was out there. Sweep to mess with the wristspinners. He played four and each of them resulted in a boundary. Smash whenever the quicks went too full. He struck a six that sailed into the three Ws stand and held his pose. Worrell, Weeks and Walcott would’ve loved that. Finally swipe – after making sure to hold his shape – when they went slower ball. First time he tried it, he got beaten. Second time, he nearly hit the ball out of the ground. This was a classic case of an attacking batter paring down his options to just those he knew would succeed in the conditions.Suryakumar was box office, even without bat in hand. In between the innings, he admitted that he was nervous. “I began chewing my gum harder when Kohli got out.” But he knew he couldn’t let himself be bogged down. “It was important to keep the intent up.” India do not want to fall into the same traps as before. This World Cup, they’re going to bat like they have a full ten wickets to spare.

Bumrah on fire

He has twice as many wickets as he’s conceded boundaries (8 vs 4) in this T20 World Cup. Bumrah is undeniably India’s most important player. He came on to bowl after Rahmanullah Gurbaz had struck a lion’s share of the 13 runs in the first over of the chase. He had seen, in the first innings, that slower balls had been mighty effective (five wickets for 30 runs at an economy rate of 7.2). Immediately, he dialled one up and also shifted his line real wide to deny Gurbaz the straight hit that he likes so much. Assessing the conditions and the opposition to that degree that quickly is the reason why he is an all-format great. He gave away only seven runs, the second-fewest by an Indian bowling four overs in a T20I.There were further positives as well. Kuldeep Yadav, back in the XI to exploit favourable conditions, picked up 2 for 32. Axar Patel began with a wicket-maiden in the powerplay. Ravindra Jadeja had a good run out as well. And Arshdeep recovered from a two-over spell for 22 runs to almost pick up a hat-trick in the dying moments.

In a major boost for those at the City Ground, one Nottingham Forest target is now reportedly keen to complete a move this summer with Evangelos Marinakis also pushing to get a deal done.

Nottingham Forest's UCL run-in

Whilst one win in their last five Premier League games should ignite plenty of concern around the City Ground, Forest’s fate is still in their own hands with three big fixtures left to play. After drawing against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sit sixth and two points adrift of Chelsea in the final Champions League place, who they face on the final day.

Nuno recently had his say on his side’s performance against Crystal Palace whilst instantly looking ahead to the Leicester City game.

The Forest boss said: “It was very important to react, it was a big blow to go behind because we were in a tough position when we conceded the penalty but the reaction of the boys was amazing and we should be proud of that. We are delighted to be in the fight. Let’s go game by game now starting with Leicester at The City Ground.”

ByBrett Worthington May 7, 2025

The impact that Champions League qualification would have both on and off the pitch cannot be overstated, especially as those at the City Ground go in pursuit of one particular target.

Yilmaz now keen on Nottingham Forest move

According to Turkish outlet Sabah, Baris Alper Yilmaz is now keen on a move to Nottingham Forest and Evangelos Marinakis is pushing to complete a deal ahead of this summer. The winger was at the centre of Forest’s interest in January but failed to swap Galatasaray for the City Ground. Now, six months on, Forest could match his price-tag reportedly worth over €30m (£26m).

Forest’s interest should come as no surprise either. The Turkey international has enjoyed an excellent campaign at Galatasaray – scoring 12 goals and assisting a further 10 in all competitions. The difference that another outlet would offer Forest must be noted amid Chris Wood’s recent struggles too. Without the New Zealand forward’s clinical form to turn towards, the Reds have struggled in the decisive moments.

What’s more, Yilmaz has already earned an impressive fan in the Premier League in the form of Virgil van Dijk. The Liverpool captain praised the winger after the Netherlands squared off against Turkey at the Euros last summer, telling reporters: “Baris Alper Yilmaz was running constantly. He was running elusive.

“It was difficult for every defender. He made it very hard for us. He couldn’t score a goal though. If we were to describe him in any way, he is a really important player.”

Now reportedly keen on a move to Forest, Yilmaz could finally be on his way to the Premier League and the City Ground in the coming months.

Fast bowler appreciates captain’s commitment to cricket, and confirms his availability for Netherlands fixture

Taskin: We should appreciate Shakib for working on his game in Dhaka

Shakib Al Hasan’s mid-event Dhaka trip has polarised opinions but the captain’s extra training has won hearts in the Bangladesh team. Taskin Ahmed said that they valued Shakib’s effort to use his day off to travel back to Dhaka for batting drills.Shakib went to Dhaka on October 25, the day after Bangladesh’s World Cup match against South Africa in Mumbai. He went straight to the Shere Bangla National Stadium where he trained under his childhood mentor Nazmul Abedeen. He worked on some of his shots although it was more about the comfort of batting with Abedeen, someone Shakib has known since his teens. He returned to Kolkata on October 26, reportedly on the advice of the team management after it became big news.”He informed the team management that he needs to work on his batting,” Taskin said. “It was a rest day, plus Dhaka is close to Kolkata. He didn’t go to Dhaka for any other purpose. It was cricket-related. He went after the coach and management told him its fine. He didn’t break any rules. He took permission. He batted for four hours on the first day. He practiced on the second day before returning to Kolkata. As players and teammates, we appreciate that he batted on a rest day. His batting is so important to the team, that he too is desperate about improving it.”Taskin said that the team gathered in the team hotel for a dinner on Thursday evening, spending a good time with Shakib, who returned shortly before. “We all went to dinner after he returned yesterday. We had a good time,” he said.Shakib has skipped back to Dhaka from Kolkata on another occasion but that was during the 2019 IPL when Sunrisers Hyderabad weren’t picking him regularly. He had gone to work with his other mentor Mohammad Salahuddin.Related

Bangladesh vs Netherlands: A forgotten cricket rivalry

Taskin said that the team doctors cleared him to play against the Netherlands on Saturday. He missed two games due to a shoulder niggle, which he said he has been carrying for more than two years. “I had this shoulder injury for the first time in South Africa two years ago. I have a tear in my tendon for a long time. I am playing by managing it. Even in the Asia Cup and World Cup I am playing with it and suddenly it became swollen.”Doctor and physio did the MRI and it was found out so I took rest for couple of days and now I am feeling better. I am personally in a good shape and after playing can I understand where I stand,” he said.Taskin said that the pitches in the World Cup has not really offered much to the fast bowlers so many of the them has had to adjust to the conditions, at times by dropping their pace. “So far, I have not seen much for the bowlers in this World Cup. All the grounds are batting friendly but also, there are some challenge and it’s not all about speed.”Express fast bowlers are also struggling, leaking runs. So in this kind of conditions, it’s not all about speed. You need some variation skills and a game awareness. It’s not all about speed. You need a lot of skills to do well in this kind of surfaces,” he said.

Mark Wood says that the timing of England’s central contracts announcement is no excuse for the team’s flatlining performances at this year’s World Cup. However, he is already looking beyond this weekend’s clash with Australia in Ahmedabad towards the 2025-26 Ashes tour, after securing a lucrative three-year deal.With England rock-bottom in the World Cup standings after five defeats out of six, the timing of the announcement has attracted significant criticism. Speaking on a podcast this week, the former England captain Michael Vaughan claimed it was “disgraceful” that Wood’s fellow squad member David Willey had been overlooked in the ECB’s 26-player list – a snub that has played its part in Willey calling time on his international career.However Wood, who will be approaching his 36th birthday by the time the next Ashes tour comes round, believes that the deal – one of just three three-year contracts handed out, along those offered to Harry Brook and Joe Root – is the best way for him to manage his workload amid the competing temptations of the T20 franchise circuit, and ensure that he can give his all for England’s highest-profile engagements.”I’m delighted obviously,” Wood said. “It is security for me as an injury-prone lad. I had to think about my family, going forward. If I ever have trouble, I’ll be well looked after by the England physios. If you’re effectively self-employed, you go to these [T20] teams and say ‘who wants me?’ But if I have a bad season or you get a bad injury, who then looks after you? So now I’m looked after by England, and employed by England.”Wood is one of eight 2019 World Cup winners in England’s current squad, and like most of his team-mates, he has fallen well short of his highest standards in their title defence, claiming four wickets at 69.75 in six matches to date. “Everyone’s trying their nuts off,” he said. “It’s just not clicked the way that we want.”Nevertheless, Wood’s raw pace has been undiminished, and in the opening match against New Zealand at Ahmedabad last month, he clocked the fastest delivery of the tournament so far, at 154kph (95.6mph).Wood has claimed just four wickets in a sorry World Cup campaign•Getty Images

And for that reason, he remains a key asset as England look towards the 2025-26 Ashes tour. On the last trip Down Under in 2021-22, Wood was his team’s outstanding performer in an otherwise dreadful campaign, claiming 17 wickets at 26.64, including a career-best 6 for 37 in the fifth Test at Hobart.Last summer, Wood’s impact was even more spectacular. He had not played competitively since the IPL in April, but he was recalled for the third Ashes Test at Headingley in July, where his first-innings 5 for 34 launched a famous fightback from 2-0 down to square the series 2-2.After the Ashes, Wood did not play again for two months, as he sat out of the Hundred and England’s white-ball home series against New Zealand to rest up ahead of the World Cup. That need to manage his workload, set against the need for an elite sportsman to maximise their earning potential during their athletic prime, meant that the ECB’s three-year offer was a compelling arrangement for both England and Wood himself.”The ECB had mentioned that, if I could keep up my standards and my pace, the Ashes away was the tour that they wanted me to get to,” Wood said. “I don’t think I could cross over loads of franchise and ECB, it just would have been too much with my injury record.”The ECB’s reworked contracts are also intended to stave off the threat of full-time franchise deals, that could eventually result in many of the sport’s biggest names appearing for IPL-affiliated teams all around the world, particularly in the newly launched leagues in the USA, UAE and South Africa.Wood, who claimed 5 for 14 on his debut for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL in April, would have been a prime candidate for such a deal, and his £400,000 to play for Delhi Capitals in the ILT20 had created a potential clash with England’s Test tour of India next year. However, he insisted that his desire to play for his country trumped all other considerations.”I’ve always wanted to play for England,” Wood said. “That was always what I’ve wanted to do as a kid growing up. I’m going to have to be a bit better that I have been at the minute, but I’d love to be part of everything going forward.Related

When asked if he felt that the players had too much power in the sport’s current climate, Wood added: “I think it depends on each individual. Everyone will have different motivation, whether it’s money-orientated or whatever, but from my point of view, I wanted to play for England. You’re well looked after playing for England, and there are amazing things that come with England. A three-year deal? Why would I not be delighted with that?”The challenge for England’s players now, however, is to live up to the expectations that come with their new deals, and Wood admitted that the team’s displays at the World Cup had not been good enough.”I don’t think they were a distraction, but I can understand peoples’ frustration,” he said. “Obviously when lads are rewarded with things, and then they don’t perform at the level that you think, that’s justified.”People do it all the time, don’t they? Footballers get it, but it’s not through lack of trying. We are trying our hardest to get this right. We’re putting in extra work. Just look at the net sessions. It doesn’t feel any different.”There’s no cracks in the group. There’s no falling out. Everyone is generally trying to do it for each other. We believe in each other. It’s just not happening the way we want.”
