There are obvious holes in the squad. I know I keep saying it but finances are obviously tight. Fast bowling resources stretched (and could worsen if Cook does get another call up). I understand the Amir signing. Doubt he costs the earth, and his recent form is good (last 2 T20 comps over the winter he took 14 wickets @ 23 with an econ of 8.3 and 13 wickets at 18 with an econ of 7.7). 
I think our mistake is giving Rossington a white ball deal, and signing Elgar for the T20 (although I think part of getting Elgar to join was he played T20).
Shame no one in the seconds is putting their hand up for a go.

He was already contracted for this year.  They just changed it from an all format deal to a T20 only one.  He was going to be here for T20 regardless.

I wonder if the bigger egos undermined his captaincy

Broad & Anderson definitely did.

Saying that the England captaincy is one of the worst jobs in sport.

Should just Winston Bogarde him then.
