http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/NewsFromTheFA/Postings/2007/11/FA_statement22Nov.htm FA statement Thursday, 22 November 2007. At a meeting this morning, The FA Board unanimously decided to terminate the contract of England Head Coach Steve McClaren with immediate effect. The Board also terminated the contract of Assistant Coach Terry Venables. The Board have agreed that there will now be a full root and branch examination of the whole England senior team set-up, which will begin with immediate effect. This will be led by Brian Barwick reporting into the Chairman, who will update the Board. Chief Executive Brian Barwick has been given authority to identify the new Head Coach and to report back to the Board with his recommendation. There is no definitive timeframe for the recruitment of the new Coach. FA Chairman Geoff Thompson said, "Like every England fan, we are all bitterly disappointed that we have failed to qualify for Euro 2008, and I know Steve feels that disappointment more than anyone. "Of course we have no divine right to play in major tournaments, but it is quite right that qualification is expected. "I would like to thank Steve for the work he has done since taking on the position last summer. His commitment to the job could not be questioned and I wish him the best for the future. "The recruitment process for the new Coach begins now and we will do everything to get the right man for the job." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 我懒得鸟蛋翻译了。 大致上是说今天早上的会议决定开除Stevr McClaren与助理教练Terry Venables（！）， 感谢McClaren在位这一年多这之间的付出，我们都知道球迷很难接受这个事实。 然後The FA将会开始寻找适当新人选。 -- 英格兰，联合王国之一部也。在北海不列颠岛之东南，亦英国四部之最大者也，京 伦敦所在，花玫瑰。罗马人去後，日耳曼之盎格鲁、撒克逊、朱特部落入据之，立 有王国七。盎格鲁人之国处今伦敦，英格兰亦由是而来，意即「盎格鲁人之地」。 今伦敦、曼彻斯特、伯明杆、利兹、朴茨茅斯、利物浦皆为其要地。 － 维基大典 --
