I think the general feeling in England will be one that the sanction is far too lenient, and I would be one of those who thinks that way.

I lived in England for 21 years and I know that everybody, apart from some of the teams that think they might get relegated, would love Celtic and Rangers to be in the English League. I think it will happen eventually.

Being an ex-England manager, one that failed to qualify for the World Cup, is like being a dead politician.

The Football Association have always acted more as a referee than a governor. And the FA, aware the Premier League provide players for the England team, have always had too gentle a hand on the tiller. The result is that the Premier League are the tigers in the English football jungle everybody's scared of.

I said if they wanted to keep the British setting in Northern England, then I will bow out, because that's not my lingo.

The effects of the storm will be fairly long-lasting across much of New England.
