The FFF needs to end the soap opera....sack Domenech...now!

Poor Domenech, he qualifies Les Bleus for their third straight tournament and he collects close to 900,000 Euros for his efforts...which in and of itself is a little ridiculous. However he has another voice in the growing camp that want to see the man sacked from the head of the national team. Guy Chambily a member of the FFF council has called for a vote to remove Domenech. Clearly the support for the astrologically leaning manager has evaporated. While he still enjoys the support of Escalettes, he does not have the support of his nation (supposedly the "sack Domenech" groups on Facebook are at record numbers), minimal support from his players and now is being vocally attacked by a member of the FFF leadership. As I have stated in the past, I am convinced that Domenech is not the right man for the role. Clearly with the growing vocal criticism of the manager from former players, current players, managers and now part of the FFF power structure, there must be some validity to these comments. There remains time for a new manager to mold the squad and prepare for the tournament, with a number of friendlies and a team that has enough veteran leadership. I think the FFF needs to do what we all think is right - sack Domenech.

By ridding the national team of their inept manager, the FFF would give the team a chance to live up to the potential of their squad. I think it would breath some new life into the squad, it would allow players such as Mexes to have a second chance to show their worth and it would rally the support of the nation. I believe that if France turn to someone such as Laurent Blanc to manage, even part time, through the World Cup they will have a much better chance to accomplish something during their visit to the African continent. A new manager would not have too much to change with this squad. I cannot imagine you would move to far away from the players you already have present. What would be better is the style, which I think could be successfully implemented quickly - rather than stubbornly stick to the 4-2-3-1 a more dynamic system could and should be implemented due to the players available for the French. Finally team motivation and a better esprit de corps would emerge in the squad - it could not be any worse!

It would be a bold move, but a move that can lead to positive gains for the FFF. Come on Escalettes make a bold move, you have paid Domenech his money...now give the team a chance. Sack Domenech!!!!
