Well if it's true, I think it should be a great move. The English style of play really doesn't suit most players from Concacaf and South America. The Spanish, Portuguese, and to a lesser extent the French style suits our players well.
No sour grapes at all, but I was never a big admirer of the English and their "exciting" style of play anyway.
Won any World Cups lately, England?
My 2 cents
