Fabio Capello Resigns As England Manager

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 8th February, 2012

Well it is sort of a shock that this has happened, but in other ways it is not. Fabio Capello has just resigned as England manager.

Harry Redknapp has been the favourite to be his successor for a long time, and today he was cleared of tax evasion, and today Capello resigns, is this all a coincidence?

Capello was talking to Italian media about the John Terry situation, and did not agree with the FA’s decision to strip him of the captains armband.

The position was untenable really, the FA should not be choosing the captain, that should be the managers job, but then the manager should not speak out over the FA. I feel the FA were wrong, (nothing new there then), they undermined Capello, the FA picks the captain, they might as well pick the squad and team too…Why even have a manager?!  The two parties always seemed distant, and now they are.

So what happens with England now? No Captain, no manager.

Who should be the next manager?

Harry Redknapp 2/7
Stuart Pearce 6/1
Roy Hodgson 12/1
Alan Pardew 12/1
Jose Mourinho 12/1
Guus Hiddink 16/1
Arsene Wenger 16/1
Martain O’neil 20/1

David Beckham 66/1

Odds from Skybet correct at time of writing.
