Sun setting on Staunton’s stint?

STEVE STAUNTON will announce his squad for the Wales and Slovakia matches next Thursday in Dublin.

Not for the first time — but perhaps for the last — Staunton will face into an international week with speculation that the next 90 minutes of competitive action could determine his future in the post.

But if Staunton wants any reminding that the media can sometimes get it badly wrong, he could do worse than raid Bobby Robson’s archives to see what The Sun had to say about the latter’s England team over the course of the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy.
