Capello Confirmed - No English in backroom staff

[Dave the OAP]

As much as I love Italy, the people and the football team, I am somewhat uneasy having a press conference introducing a new England manager to the press and world, when he cant even say one word in English.

Feel sorry for all of the England managers having to sit in these press conferences and face some of the most retarded questions ever from so called top sports writers!!

Thought Capello handled himself well but can't see him tolerating these kind of stupid questions when he gets his feet under the table!!

Where did he have his feet today then ?

Barwick looked uncomfortable throughout so maybe half way up his leg?

... and the lad he is employing as his translator can't do the job properly.

BBC News has made great play of the fact that Capello has promised to learn English "within a month" - and that, indeed is what his translator said.

If, on the other hand, you can speak Italian, you'll have noticed that Capello himself promised to be speaking the language "within months".
