Everybody is already piling pressure on Kevin Keegan and his players on the basis that they must qualify and make a big impact at World Cup 2002. Yes, of course, we want to qualify. It's only by playing in tournaments that players can learn and develop. Let's attempt to integrate the outstanding young players we have in England along the way and really show a broader vision for the future. The problems for my blueprint are twofold.
Every match becomes a critical judgment of the England coach.
Often there are no alternative ideas tabled, just critical sniping that the coach must go. It's all so negative and far too aggressive. These views come from my heart. I don't want to be accused of jumping on a soap box, knocking Kevin Keegan. I know what he's going through.
