Fabio Capello Has Resigned As England Manager

I've been watching this on Sky News, and it would seem from all the twitter posts they are quoting, that most think that because all the players have to be English, then so should the manager.

I tend to agree with that, when it comes to the national teams. I just hope Mourinho doesn't get the job.

It's a hard one to call because even though i hate John Terry and i deteste racism i believe in innocent until proven guilty. I also believe that an administrative body should not interefere with the running of the team otherwise why hire a manager just put them on the touchline.

If i were Spurs fans i would be shitting maself you have a manager top of the list of candidates and who has a history of leaving the club at the drop of the hat when a new oppurtunity comes along

Couldn't agree more! I will use the example of Chelsea as they're an appropriate club considering the papers have a fair amount to say about the running of the club, the manager changes and Terry... Everyone says when a manager is hired at Chelsea it is at the mercy of Roman Abramovic and that they are there to coach not pick the side etc etc, how wrong it is and how that isn't how to run a club side.

Yet the F.A make a call above Capello's head and he's meant to just take it ? They've gone over the managers head and it set a BAD precedent.

It will be Pearce and Southgate for now... Let's hope they don't show them how to take a penalty

just had a thought BECKHAM for manager anyone

The media seem to have already given 'Arry Redknapp the job, as we can't have one of those evil foreigners getting the job, can we now? Of course they've forgotten what a brilliant job the last Englishman did

Interestingly, there was a tweet from Opta saying that Capello had the best win percentage of any full-time England boss (67%). http://t.co/jZomwzhS But then again, Steve McClaren had a better percentage than Bobby Robson, so it shows once more that stats don't mean a great deal.

Arsene Wenger is getting a few mentions as next England manager. The Arsenal fans are turning against him, so it could be a good time for him to leave, but if it's to be another foreign manager then Jose Mourinho looks more likely. Roy Hodgson and Alan Pardew are getting mentions too. If Stuart Pearce doesn't want to be caretaker manager until the end of the season, then the FA would no doubt regard Roy Hodgson as a safe pair of hands.

Couldn't think of anything more uninspiring then Hodgson as manager.

who better to inspire the players
