ian1964 10,761 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England Manager. This follows a meeting involving FA Chairman David Bernstein, FA General Secretary Alex Horne and Fabio Capello at Wembley Stadium. The discussions focused on The FA Boardâ??s decision to remove the England team captaincy from John Terry, and Fabio Capelloâ??s response through an Italian broadcast interview. In a meeting for over an hour, Fabioâ??s resignation was accepted and he will leave the post of England Manager with immediate effect. David Bernstein said: â??I would like to stress that during todayâ??s meeting and throughout his time as England Manager, Fabio has conducted himself in an extremely professional manner. We have accepted Fabioâ??s resignation, agreeing this is the right decision. We would like to thank Fabio for his work with the England team and wish him every success in the future.â? A media conference with David Bernstein and the Club England Management team will take place at Wembley on Thursday at 12 noon. The FA will not be making any further comment until the media conference. http://www.thefa.com/England/News/2012/080212.aspx 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superrcooper7 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think this has probably been coming and maybe an excuse for all parties. I do hope Redknapp isn't the next manager though as I like him at Spurs. Seems a genuine nice guy of football, and innocent of the tax fraud case lol 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Redknapp gets away with Tax Evasion the same day . He has a good thing going at Spurs but might take it after the Euro's. Capello was annoyed with the Terry situation but I am surprised that he did quit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little General 80 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Redknapp has a dilemma as if he takes the England job, he will have the same problem that Capello had re Terry. after what Redknapp went through and him stating how Spurs supported him through thr trial,he will surely have to support Terry before his trial. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 He's right to quit. The decision to either keep Terry as captain or dump him should've been Capello's call and once he made that decision it remained that until Terry was found guilty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergatrude 0 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Give the job to Walter, maybe he'd lend us some of the reported 5m wages to fund buying a striker! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Give the job to Walter, maybe he'd lend us some of the reported 5m wages to fund buying a striker! Two years in the England job and Walter would probably be wealthier than Craig Whyte! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Give the job to Walter, maybe he'd lend us some of the reported 5m wages to fund buying a striker! £6M (before tax, unless he has an EBT too)! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
