Capello resigns.

'arry as manager will have time for Rio Ferdinand, which also means Terry is fucked. Works for me.

Steve McClaren had a poor first spell but I wouldn't mind him having another go (he won't be offered it though, obviously)...at least he got out of his comfort zone, went to Netherlands, had some shrooms, fucked some hoes and found relative success. More than the other plethora of pub team shits being mentioned as candidates.

If you don't care about the England team, you might as well hope for a real fucking 4-4-2, let-them-know-you're-there arsehole who won't play Wilshere or Oxlade because they're Arsenal pansies. Neil Warnock, for example.

You think winning the Dutch league with a team that isn't either Ajax or PSV when you are Steve McClaren is "relative success"???

Alan Pardew

Worked wonders for Newcastle

Capello thinks that he has done nothing wrong until proven guilty. Whether it is appropriate or not that his captain his involved in such a trial does not care to him. It is a matter of ethics for the English, of sentences for Italians.

As for me I am an Italian who whinks the English are right.

Nah I think it's not really about John Terry. As Rors said, it's probably about Capello feeling that he should've been consulted and that picking the captain should be his responsibility.

Truth be told, Capello probably knew he was getting lynched after England get knocked out at the Euros, so this offered him a good excuse for an exit to save some face and not leave his managerial reputation in total tatters.

Another tournament build up blighted by off the field problems.

England. :doh:

If Capello felt undermined then fair enough. He did as good a job as he could with such a limited team anyway.

Just give the job to Harry now. The England squad is full of GHELs and who better to lead them all than the GHEL godfather himself.

Go and look outside your door, is there the faint glow of torches in the distance and a lot of angry shouting?

It was and look how that turned out, end of the day if he was stupid to give the armband back to terry he has to deal with the actions. The FA can strip a captain if they like and he knew that.
