Right now, these parts are so incredibly inferior. Body shop managers will tell you which insurers are pushing aftermarket parts.

My point of view as chairman of the League Managers' Association is we would hope that English contenders for the position have got more than a head start.

If the confidentiality outweighs the public's right to know, the body will go into executive session.

I think CVU will be good right off the bat.

Next week will tell us a lot about our team. It's too early to say right now how good we're going to be, but we've got some experienced players back, some pleasant surprises from some new guys and a team with a good attitude.

The list of future England managers should not be left until one day after the current manager has disappeared. All of a sudden everyone's in panic, running round all over the place, sometimes not quite sure of what the credentials for the job are. It gets the next bloke off on a bad foot, and that is why the process should be more streamlined and easier than this - certainly it should be quicker.
