IIRC his moaning at the Worl Cup wasn't universally popular.
Should have sacked as soon as the campaign ended because of that too. The politics of trying to get Joe Cole into the side was absolutely ridiculous. England need to get Gordon Ramsay in for the Euros and tell them to **** off as required, it's like the rugby team - if you've no discipline you're winning sweet FA. As England aren't anything flash to start with they need a LOT of discipline to stand a reasonable chance.

Capello has resigned, prepare yourself for an indecent amount of hype for the Euros, followed by crushing disappointment, so same as normal.

Hope to god that means some of the deadwood will be resigned and we'll look more to the 2014 World Cup, instead of the failed generation given one last go to **** things up again.

Wow. Did not expect that at all. Respect Capello for punching and walking if he thought he'd been terminally undermined, but wow.

Who the **** do we get now? Pearce? Harry doubling up?

Blatantly stolen from a popular site, but hey



Couldn't the FA have FA'd it up a few months ago, then we could've had O'Neill.... He's a man manager/motivator, Harry isnt. He buys and sells until he's got what he needs, then tends to sell them again for no reason (bar a reduced 5% rate).

Pearce is the man for me (Stuart, not Sledger)

Would love to see Hiddink take the job. I would even put money on England winning the Euros if that happened.

I think the FA in their wisdom have already decreed it has to be an Englishman, even if Jose or Hiddink wanted it, presumably they'd rather have Fat Sam or Colin.

Mind you they're always capable of a u-turn.

Reckon I'd do a better job than Graham Taylor or the Wally with the Brolly did tbh. Played lots of football manager I'll have you know.

On a serious note, what a balls up. Shouldn't be surprised really, as the FA is pretty much the biggest group of cretinous idiots going, but this is bad even by their standards.

Some cringeworthy rants about it needing to be an Englishman on sky
I'm already sick of hearing these sorts of things. It's basically a more passive "keep England for the English", dire. Get someone in who's good ffs.
