All this "I must speak my mind" stuff is pure guff. Would Terry have picked Mourinho's team or graded the abilities of Ancelloti's or Hiddink's Chelsea team? No.
Mourinho = 2 titles, 2 league cups, FA Cup. Ancelotti = Double. Hiddink - Championship winning form and FA Cup final.
That means there's no need to speak his mind.
He had to speak his mind when Avram Grant and Scolari were in charge though.
In qualification there was no need to speak his mind. England coasted to the WC. Does England's WC performance and results warrant people to speak their mind or not?
I think JT's completely and utterly wrong when he suggests Joe Cole as someone who England need. I think Cole will be as ineffectual for England as he was nearly every time when playing for Chelsea this season. But England obviously need something to change, and change quickly, or they'll be coming home in disgrace this week.
