He seems to be a disciplinarian - and is taking my advice to DROP out of form performers (who think they have a RIGHT to be in an England team) and insisting on only in-form players are selected.

Also making the team train TWICE a day - and banning wags and agents can also only be good long-term.

Of course Owen will still have to be in the dressing room, as without him, who (allegedly) will organise the betting syndicates ?

OK, so it was the dullest match that I've seen for ages - but we've all seen worse England displays haven't we?

So far ... so good !
