Reports in today's Sunday Mirror suggest that the FA decided at the last minute to offer Taylor a full time job when they realised they would have to pay millions in compensation to Leicester.

The Mirror reports that when Leicester appointed the former Gillingham boss last summer, they inserted a clause in his deal to see off any approaches for Taylor, legal or otherwise.

Apparently contrary to some reports FA chief executive Adam Crozier was on the verge of offering Taylor a full-time coaching post with England until he discovered the extent of the compensation involved. A cool £4million.

Do you think Pater should have been able to stay on with England? Or should Leicester have taken the £4million and got rid of him?! Let us know in the Fans Forum.
