The England team are on their way  home now and its being reported in the media that Capello will not stand down, but will have meetings with the FA over his future.

I’m not interested in starting a witch hunt against him, i have a lot of respect for Capello, however, im just not sure he is the man for the England job. He is obviously a very talented manager and he has proved this at club level. Maybe it’s a language or culture barrier, but there is something wrong i don’t think will be fixed.

England have been struggling on the international front for years now. The friendly games became ridiculously boring, which i blame Sven for and Capello for carrying on. A friendly game should be used to gel the team and get them working together, instead they are used to give as many people as possible a run out and for me it doesn’t work, the last few years have shown it has no benefit for the team.

When Sven became the manager of England, there were big questions about whether the manager should be foreign, and again, having a foreign manager has had no positive impact on the team more than an England manager.

This is why i think its time to say thanks for trying Capello, but its time to give the Job back to an Englishman. There is a very good reason for this and a reason that no foreign manager can give the team. Pride. Ask Harry Redknapp, Ask Sam Allerdyce, Ask Roy Hodgeson, ask any English football manager if they would manage England and they would say they would do it with pride.

I can’t imaging Sven or Capello rallying the spirit of the dressing room with a patriotic speech about doing it for England and the country, they don’t care, its a job and a pay day for them, the foreign managers that are coming and wanting to manage England are laughing their socks off, i bet they cant believe how much the FA want to pay people and it all needs to come to an end.

We need a manager that can take the players forward and i believe that to be an Englishman.

Give the job to Harry
