Notes

Terry Venables was in charge for only 23 matches, and only the last five came in serious competition.  His coaching abilities were unquestioned, and, unlike his immediate predecessor and successor, he was superb at media relations.  Still, his stay was too short to gauge how far he might have been able to take the team.  His early departure--the result of his judgment, undoubtedly accurate, that the Football Association did not completely support him because of his business and legal disputes-- was the first in a series of events that thrust the England team into long-term instability.
