Think this has been blown up out of all proportion by the Press (as per usual!) I don't believe for one minute Capello is looking to get the sack, as I've said elsewhere; what I think he is doing is banking a very nice excuse if things don't go well at Euro '12. "Look, the FA have sacked my Captain against my wishes, look at what I've got to put up with." You will note that there has been no question of him resigning over the issue, so he clearly doesn't feel THAT strongly about it!
Indeed, we have only got David Davies' word for it that the FA are "taking the comments very seriously", which is more than anyone does his!!! :lol:
Capello's comments are a storm in a teacup which will soon blow over, although there is another potential storm on the horizon, if the FA suddenly decide they don't want Terry in the squad at all. Don't think they will do that, as they would presumably have made that clear at the same time as sacking him as Captain. ie, if you've got bad news, it's better to deliver it all at once. There again, this IS the FA, so who knows for certain?
In the extremely unlikely senario that England DO need a new Manager before Euro'12, it is almost certain that Stewart Pearce will get it. Not necessarily because he is the best man for the job, but a temporary appointment would buy the FA a lot more time, and who else would they go for but Pearce; this is the the FA, and he would be the coward's easy way out for the short term.

You may be right JtG but the Beeb is reporting that Bernstein is going to read the Riot Act to Capello today.
I think that the FA have got a majority of the populace behind them (or at least feel they have) and are prepared to go the whole hog (if their legal eagles have said they can get him out for breach of contract - i.e. not have to pay up the remainder of his contract).
Of course, it could all end in a whimper, with the standard fibs: good meeting, both sides aired their views, firm but fair, united focus on Euros, respect for each others' views, (ie.e let's get this troublesome six months out of the way and then we can be out of each others' hair).
Don't think he'll go.
If he did, the FA would insist on an Englishman.
Redknapp or Hodgson aside, there don't seem to be many credible candidates. Please, not Stuart Pearce.
I think a good outside candidate would be Brendan Rogers.
Lots of people are calling for Holloway! :shock:

Good idea. 5 minutes should be more than enough. And that would be 4 minutes too long. :greensmile:

I think that Flappelo has orchestrated this in a brilliant way !!!! :think:
He resigns ??
1. I'm sure he has resigned after agreeing the payoff rather than the FA sacking him
2. A club in Italy / Spain have probably sent their car to take him for a drive
Had he gone to Euro's and flopped his marketability would have dropped and
The FA didn't want to sack him because they would have then taken the flack when England fall at the first hurdle.
Next in line ?????
Stonewall (twice) and available now
Paul Hart.
Marcus you're forgiven

Can't see 'arry leaving Spurs - suspect that he likes the day today stuff too much and Spurs will be in CL next season.
What about Woy Hodgson? Don't think that Zamora would get picked though!
Other candidate - Big Sam - get the Hammers up and then lead England to ignominious failue in Eastern Europe?
Alan Pardew. He might want to?
Steve Bruce is available too.
Gareth Southgate. Nah.

I personally think Spurs are gearing up for a shift in personel in the summer. Harry will go to England full time when the season ends. Adebayor will be going back to Man City and then sold to a foreign team as Spurs won't pay his 160k a week wages. Modric will go to Man United. Bale may go to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Think Van der vaart will go elsewhere also.
New manager will have a big budget to build his own team.
