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." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 我懶得鳥蛋翻譯了。 大致上是說今天早上的會議決定開除Stevr McClaren與助理教練Terry Venables（！）， 感謝McClaren在位這一年多這之間的付出，我們都知道球迷很難接受這個事實。 然後The FA將會開始尋找適當新人選。 -- 英格蘭，聯合王國之一部也。在北海不列顛島之東南，亦英國四部之最大者也，京 倫敦所在，花玫瑰。羅馬人去後，日耳曼之盎格魯、撒克遜、朱特部落入據之，立 有王國七。盎格魯人之國處今倫敦，英格蘭亦由是而來，意即「盎格魯人之地」。 今倫敦、曼徹斯特、伯明桿、利茲、樸茨茅斯、利物浦皆為其要地。 － 維基大典 --
