Paul Ince, Do you think that the consistent under-performance of the England team can be directly related to the presence of so much money washing around the Premiership? Does it affect players motivation, for example?

I’m not sure they are under-performing as such, and really the national team was doing no better when there weren’t many foreigners plying their trade in the Premier League. National teams always go through up’s and down’s and we have always been unlucky in major tournaments.
I have always thought that foreign players coming in to the game is a good thing for the England team. It teaches us how continental national and club sides play and makes us more aware of how we need to play.
