Capello resigns.

Maureen to manage Spurs after Harry goes tbh.

It's Hiddink.

tbf, Capello should have been in the meeting when the FA discussed the captaincy as a matter of courtesy. The fact that they made the decision that way was an insult to him. That was bad practice by the FA. They could still have let him make his point to them, still decided that Terry had to go as captain and possibly had his reluctant agreement.

But I'm still glad he has gone as long as the FA appoint an Englishman as manager. Even if a foreign manager might win us a competition, it would feel there was a bit missing.

[Power n Glory]

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.

Capello was on Italian television saying Terry should have stayed as captain until proven guilty. Not being consulted is one thing but believing that Terry should still serve as captain is another.

No way should have been leading England out as captain. If he can be stripped because of the Wayne Bridge fiasco, then why not this when it affects even more playere in the squad, The FA's rep, England fans and the whole kick Racism Out of Football campaign that Uefa and Fifa pay lip service to.

Cos he hasnt been proved guilty which is Capellos point

Believe me, Capello could not understand what the word 'appropriate' means. Take politics Huhne resigned over a small fine because he and the coalition parties understood that it could undermine them. Berlusconi stayed on even when charged for prostitution because in Italy we do not know what is damaging and what is appropriat irrespective of trials and sentences.

The same applies to the Capello-FA-Terry saga.

People have there own judgement on Capello but for a young player who was given the chance to play for my country at such a young age...

No it is NOT because of a small fine. It is because of the alleged attempt to pervert the cause of justice which is an extremely serious offence. Also, if he is indeed guilty of trying to get his partner to take a speeding ticket to avoid a 3-point penalty and a £100(ish) fine and avoid a minor embarrassment - prepared to do that to his supposed beloved - do you think he is trustworthy in the public field?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least he can re-launch the Capello Index now.

Cappello in talks right now to take over a big club in Russia say Talk sport.
