Getting used to failure?

The England football manager's job is often referred to as a poisoned chalice, and certainly many famous names have come to the job with a proven record and yet failed to give England the success their fans crave.  But with Harry Redknapp the curse seems to have struck even before he is appointed - if indeed he ever is.  He became the most popular choice because of his record with Tottenham Hotspur, and yet no sooner had he become the number one candidate than Spurs' form dipped markedly and the Champions League spot which at one time seemed a formality is now anything but.  It has been suggested that the uncertainty about his future is a major factor in this loss of form.  Perhaps it's time to put the man, the team and indeed the country out of their misery!
