Sports Letter: Too much Taylor
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In hindsight, Graham Taylor should have been sacked after the European Championships. In the end, I was pleased we did not qualify for America. Success would have kept Taylor in the job and the team would have continued to perform lamentably.
There are a number of teams in the Premiership - Newcastle, QPR, Norwich among others - who play a delightful pass-and-game that is successful and which the new manager of England should copy. We do have the players now to set us on the road to recovery.
Yet we must not rush into choosing the wrong successor. Need he be full-time? Whoever he is, it is the system that counts. Look at Germany, for example. Same method of play, different players over 30 years.
Yours faithfully,
