I'm not a football fan, so I don;t follow it.
But I believe he would not reveal who was in the team until 2 hours before a match.
That sounds absolutely ludicrous to me. Madness.
Who does he think he is?

I also hear on the news that because of various clauses the FA would have had to pay him 10 million pounds to let him go, - and that's money they don't have.

I think that's the major reason they kept him brisket. They made the tactical mistake pre worl cup and can't get out of it without wasting a huge amount of money.

The problem isn't the manager.  We've been through manager after manager after manager and each time without fail England mess it up.  The obvious problem is the lazy over paid players.  For instance I don't believe there is a manager in the world who could have motivated Roonie to at least pretend to be making an effort.  Roonie was a waste of space all tournament.  He is now a laughing stock.

Players like Roonie and Gerrard are excellent in the PL, what's needed is to translate that talent into the national team, which seems to be a big problem.

Capello forced an ancient formation that's only used in Italy on PL players who have no idea how to take advantage of it. He played Gerrard on the left where he's useless and when the chips were down and we needed goals he brought on SWP who does not know how to play the game of football and Heskey whose only claim to fame is being the least likely player to score in any game he's ever played in.

Capello has been a disaster for England. Either the FA are braindead (they pretty much were to fall into his contract trap anyway) or they just don't have the money to pay him off to get rid of the useless twat. The real problem is the suits at the FA have absolutely no interest in football they all came from non-football backgrounds. They should all be fired immediately and people who care about our game brought in. It will never happen of course.
