Funny this, the FA have just removed a clause from his contract that would have given a 2-week window after the World Cup for Capello to walk away, or the FA to sack him without cost. They were too scared about the possbility of Capello taking the Inter job.

Rumour has it Capello is on £6m a year, before bonuses. Meaning that if the FA sacked him, they propbably wouldn't be able to afford a better replacement.

If the people at the FA who backed him at such a cost turn out to have been so spectacularly wrong, they are the ones who should be sacked.

Indeed. I must admit I'm staggered by the amount of anti-Cappello feeling and by the mere fact that his departure is even being discussed; I've never known an England manager go from hero to zero almost overnight the way he seems to have done.

I sincerely hope that, whatever the outcome from this World Cup, he's still in charge for the Euros. He HAS made mistakes (as we all do) and it's worth remembering that as a manager, for all his domestic success, this is his first internatonal job and first international tournament. I'm sure he knows he's made mistakes and I'm sure he'll learn from them - and yet people want to forget all the good work he's done over the last two years and crucify him for a few poor decisions over the last two months. Incredible. If he is forced out and if he does decide to stay in international management as opposed to returning to the club game then some lucky nation is going to benefit from our myopic, short-term stupidity.
