The state-of-the-art complex will be a training camp for the England team at all levels and a base for the residential training programme for FA coaches.

It has (actually) nothing to do with the new appointed England manager Fabio Cappelo so the FA decided to build the new ground.

Their original plan was initially drawn up in 2001 to place England’s facilities on a par with those in France, Germany and Italy, but was mothballed during the construction of the new Wembley Stadium.

No wonder the England national team has not reach any significant success they deserve all these years. It is a bit funny where the mother of football has no decent training facilities.

“I’m delighted that the board has given the green light for a National Football Centre,” Brian Barwick, the FA chief executive, said as quoted from the Times.

“This is a major step forward for the project. There was general agreement within the board that a National Football Centre would be a major asset in the development of players, coaches and referees in this country.”

The development of new training ground is to believe will costs at around £80 million from the original estimates of £50 million. £20 million already spent on acquiring the land and laying out eight floodlit pitches of the 350-acre site.

I’m a bit surprise when I found the article from a forum that I regularly visit. I can say this is a good news or bad news for Newcastle United, in term of what so call ‘Long Term Revolution’.

Allardyce was interviewed for the England job last year after Sven-Goran Eriksson left the post, and he will no need to do that again if the FA can’t find any suitable replacement for the England job sooner.

Telegraph also write Although Allardyce has said that he is focused on his work at Newcastle and is not interested in the England vacancy, Barnwell believes that the former Bolton manager could be talked into accepting the challenge.

“As he did at Bolton, he’d analyse the whole thing and work out a structure,” said the League Managers Association chief executive, Barnwell. “He would approach the job in a different manner to how it has been done before.”

Fabio Cappelo, who is being said as the leading contender to take the job revealed that he has still not had any contact from the English Football Association over the country’s vacant manager’s job. He is now the current bookmaker’s favourite to replace Steve McClaren.

“There has been no contact with the English federation,” Capello stated on RAI television. “Just like Spain, England have some great players, but their national teams never win anything.”

Well, if the future England manager didn’t know that England has won the world cup and say that their national teams never win anything then how can he be a good replacement for Steve mcClaren, in this case…Sam Allardyce everyone?

BSA will take it seriously if the FA did offer him the job, as the latest news from Newcastle United chairman Chris Mort reveals today that there will be no more transfer funds for Allardyce in January.

Both Mike Ashley and Chris Mort said they still backing Sam Allardyce to continue the team development, but unfortunately there’ll be no cash ready for him.

Sam Allardyce spent more than seven years at Bolton Wanderers before establishing himself as one of the country’s most innovative and forward-thinking managers he used to be. But now he is at the club with the most passionate and have so little patience like Newcastle United.

I was used to have more patience when dealing what’s going on at the Tyneside club, I’m not the kind of supporter who want instant success and was against sacking any managers when he is only got short time to deliver something for the club. But the current situation is making me speechless.

Allardyce said one of the reason is he wanted a “challenge” when he left his Reebok Stadium comfort zone in the summer and what he’s expecting now has certainly arrived on his desk.

Before the last weekend fixture against Liverpool, Alan Smith labelled it a “benchmark” game to judge how far they have come so far this season. The 52,307 St. James’ crowd have seen exactly “how far” Allardyce’s side has come this season, and the answer is not very far at all – if not backwards.

When Allardyce was asked after the game if he could remember going through a game at Bolton where they never had a shot on target at home. His answer is “Many times”, adding more his Bolton team often got a draw in such kind of circumstances, but why that not happened last weekend?

Yes, we are heading out to the Liverpool fixture without Michael Owen, Faye and Taylor. From what I have seen so far this season, we can count Owen and Taylor out for any consideration of a missed, only Faye that was really missing from the squad on Saturday.

The other big question is why Allardyce always make the change for Newcastle team each week. It’s ok if he has injury problems, but why James Milner is on the bench remains a mistery. Is he also get injured?

Meanwhile, our ‘beloved’ Owen has nothing to say about the weekend result but he is questioning the England team performance against Croatia, which is in my honest opinion shows no respect at all for what happen to Newcastle United.

Big Sam will have the more difficult three fixtures after the weekend, with three games in a space of a week time starting from December 1st against Blackburn, and folowing by the home fixture against the managerless Birmingham City and Arsenal.

I only can predicted the Birmingham match as the only possible three points out of nine, and what happen next to Allardyce as Newcastle manager is very interesting to watch.

Following the axing of Steve mcClaren by the FA this morning, speculations of who will be the next England manager has resulting his name as the front-runner.

According to Shields Gazette, the bookies odds on Alan Shearer to becoming the next England manager dropped from 20/1 to 12/1. The legendary goalscorer has never managed before, but football pundits think he could do for England just like former stars Marco Van Basten and Jurgen Klinnsmann have done for Holland and Germany respectively.

Another contender, Newcastle United mananger Sam Allardyce, immediately ruled himself out of the running for the position.

“I am contracted to Newcastle United and from my point of view, that contract needs to be honoured.” Said Allardyce, “I am not in a position like I was at my old club where the chairman openly extended the invitation for me to go for the position. I am not in that position now.”

Meanwhile, Ex-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho remains favourite for the job with other fellow International managers come next to him including Fabio Capello, Aston Villa’s Martin o’Neill, and Arsenal chief Arsene Wenger.

Alan Shearer last England duty was in the Euro 2000. Shearer did not score in England’s opening 3-2 defeat against Portugal, but did so as England defeated Germany 1-0 in Charleroi, ensuring that England beat their European neighbours for the first time since the 1966 World Cup Final.

To remain in the tournament, England only required a draw against Romania in the final group match, and Shearer scored a penalty as England went in at half-time 2-1 up, but Romania ultimately won 3-2.

England’s tournament was over, and so was Shearer’s international career. From his 63 caps, he scored thirty goals, joint-fifth in the England all-time goalscorers list with Nat Lofthouse and Tom Finney.

It was a nightmare for the coutry who claims as the home of football. With a team consist of multi-millions pounds players, Steve McClaren not be able to make them qualify to Austria and Switzerland next summer.

The most talented players with big name like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, David Beckham, Joe Cole and the promising youth stars in Juleon Lescott and Micah Richards looks like hopeless and playing without any motivation and guidance.

The England performance last night reminds me of Newcastle United when we lost against Pompey.

The England players are playing without guidance, while their manager is just sitting down without doing anything or giving any further instructions of how to keep the game alive and even to win it.

It looks like they are satisfied enough with a draw, and think of they are already qualified.

The Telegraph reporting that members of the Football Association executive board are holding a meeting at 8.30am this morning to bring an end to Steve McClaren’s brief but disastrous reign as England manager.

Needing only a tie at home in its final qualifier, England allowed two quick goals, then rallied in the second half, getting an equalizer off David Beckham’s cross to Peter Crouch. But Mladen Petric scored in the 77th minute, giving Croatia a 3-2 first ever victory on Wednesday night. Croatia was never won their last three previous meeting with England at Wembley.
