For that reason alone he isn't equipped to do the best possible job for England / GB in my mind and this is why he should be replaced, especially when you factor in recent results and his handling of the press.
England / GB needs someone who respects and knows the British competition, has the primary focus of England / GB and doesn't see it as a secondary afterthought, is a good role model for the English game and speaks about it in the highest regard and obviously is a good coach.
Whilst Bennett may be a better coach than some of the British candidates, at least they'd care about wanting to do a good job.
Would I give it Wane? I'm not sure if I would, but at least he would care about the players, fans and knows our competition, which immediately makes him a better candidate.
