Capello to resign..?

@waldo Said

Now they are hinting that if Capello resigns or gets the sack Roy hodgeson will be throwing his hat into the ring.
Anyone with thoughts to him being the new England Manager.

Capello was loved a few weeks ago, he hasn't really changed anything now we are at the world cup - the players have just fallen apart.

It's not a holiday, the players are there to do a job, but they aren't performing at the minutes. When all is said and done THEY are the ones on the pitch, they are the ones who have to pull it together and play. They are supposed to be 'top class' players, tripping over their feet, giving the ball away, failing to find a space or take a shot - how are any of those things the managers fault?

@waldo Said

Good question Laura.
They say he is injured. But they have put him on the coaching staff, because he plays his football in America they though he would be able to give insider information about the yanks. That worked didn't it.

News is emerging on the BBC that the England players criticised the England manager during last night's "clear the air" meeting. Several issues were raised, but they were (according to the BBC) specifically unhappy with the boot-camp atmosphere in Rustenburg.

You could be forgiven for thinking that after the WAGS fiasco at the last world cup in Germany, the players would respond to a regime that focuses on the football and ensures rest between matches.

I am astounded that, given the opportunity to play on the world's greatest stage... to represent their country.... to showcase their talents to the world..... this group of self-centred, small minded individuals are allowing themselves to be sidetracked by such petty issues as being told to rest between matches, or not being able to get a shag for a couple of weeks.

You couldn't make it up, could you..?

Personally, I think it is all just a lot of excuse making. They have been, frankly, embarrassed in their first two matches and are looking to shift the blame. The truly sad thing is that a lot of fans will fall for it. Players are heroes. Players are blameless. It's always somebody else's fault..... And the manager is the usual fall-guy.

Auntie Beeb hinted that Fabio Capello could consider resigning should England crash out on Wednesday. I wouldn't blame him if he did.
