PHIL ALWAYS A QUACKERS IDEA FROM FA

IT always seemed an arrogant assumption that Phil Neville would hang around as a lame duck coach of England’s women, just for the chance to be part of the Olympic Games in 2021. The Football Association were very proud to have recruited Holland’s Sarina Wiegman as Neville’s successor but the lead time to her arrival in August is ridiculous. Sure enough, Neville (above) has a better offer from Inter Miami, the MLS franchise owned by his friend David Beckham, and with no guarantee the Olympics will even go ahead, Team GB are high and dry. The best domestic candidates have been overlooked and who would dilute their presence at a club for a job in the balance? Neville out, Wiegman in should have taken place at the time, or not at all. This is just a mess.
