So it looks inevitable that Harry Redknapp will become England manager one day (unless Roy Hodgson gatecrashes the party and becomes even more unpopular). He'll probably take charge at the end of the season, and so we've tried to predict the 11 players he'd do well to pick.

We're aware that the teams lacking a lot of experience, apart from Rooney, Parker and Baines (Hart too, to some extent), so maybe Jones could drop to the bench to be replaced by an older head.

As I am sure you are all well aware, John Terry has recently been stripped of his England captaincy, a decision that he will not have taken lightly, but the question poses, were the FA right to do this? We saw how they dealt rather quickly and authoritatively with the Suarez-Evra debacle, yet they have [.

Fabio Capello resigns as England manager but who will replace him? - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog

England currently has no manager as Fabio Capello recently resigned. It was pretty clear Capello would be out after the upcoming Euro 2012 and his resignation was a surprise. The problem between Capello and the English Football Association was over John Terry.

Real Madrid wants Robin Van Persie. Look at my face: I am not happy right now.

Rather than just writing one opinion piece, I typically try to gather as much information from around the World Wide Web and condense it with my own commentary added. This week we've got Real Madrid pursuing Van Persie, Mourinho gunning for Arsene's job, Kieran Gibbs returns from a long layoff to strengthen the defense, and a hobbled Jack Wilshere all torn up about England's national team losing its coach just months before the Euro 2012.

Just another week in paradise. With the resignation of Fabio Capello from his post as England Manager / press voodoo doll, we're being reminded of some of the less savoury sides of the game. The politicking, the whooping hyenas in the press, the reminder that the never ending cuntishness of John Terry seems to hurt everybody expect John Terry.

England's Euro 2012 plans have been thrown into disarray after Fabio Capello stepped down as national team manager.

He spoke out against the FA on Italian state broadcaster RAI on Sunday and resigned after a meeting with the FA on Wednesday.

The following is copy-and-pasted verbatim from a Chelsea forum, in which former former youth Chelsea player Sam Tillen who now plays his football in Iceland writes candidly about his experiences as having John Terry as his club captain during his formative years.

English football in 'shambles' shocker. With a major tournament around the corner, the FA intervene and strip John Terry of the England captain without consulting the manager. The manager resigns. England have no captain, no manager and naff all chance of winning Euro 2012.
In many ways, I don't blame Fabio Capello for leaving.

I think I may have an idea why Chelsea are stuttering a bit this season; if this video is anything to go by, their training sessions are utter chaos!

Firstly we see some assorted slapping from everyone present, then Fernando Torres exacts revenge on John Terry for an earlier buffeting by wrestling him to the ground.

You turn you're back for one second and what happens? Just three months and three friendly games before Euro 2012 gets under way in June, Fabio Capello resigned as England manager last night after spending the afternoon bickering with FA chairman David Bernstein and general secretary Alex Horne at Wembley over his comments made to the Italian media vis-a-vis the FA's premature decision to strip John Terry of the national captaincy.

One of the disadvantages of working a paying job whilst trying to build a readership on your own blog is that sometimes we get blindsided by events that need immediate reporting such as we saw today in London as England manager Fabio Capello resigned his position immediately following a meeting with FA Chairman David Bernstein.

Harry Redknapp, David Bernstein, and Fabio Capello in Les Liaisons Dangereuses

A day ago, Harry Redknapp was in the dock on tax evasion charges. If proven guilty, it would end his chances to be England manager, a post that he has long coveted. Worse, as a convicted felon, the punishment could mean jail time and a leave of absence from football for a long, long time.

Fabio Capello has stunned English football by quitting as England manager having fallen out with the FA after defender John Terry was stripped of the captaincy. The news rocked football journalists across the land as head coach Fabio Capello turned his back on the English national team and resigned with immediate effect.

08.02.2012 - El italiano Fabio Capello renunció hoy, a menos de cuatro meses del inicio de la Eurocopa (2012), a su puesto de entrenador de la selección inglesa.
El móvil público de la decisión es la oposición a la medida unilateral de la FA (Asociación inglesa de Fútbol) de quitarle la capitanía de la selección a John Terry, quien afronta un juicio por presuntos insultos racistas que habría proferido, durante un partido de la liga Premier (octubre 2011) a Anton Ferdinand, defensor de Queens Park Rangers y hermano de Rio (Ferdinand), su compañero de zaga en la selección.

You may or may not have seen this earlier today. I retweeted it via @JoeTweeds a few hours ago.

Either way, it's a very good read and a refreshingly different take on John Terry than the ones we've been force-fed over the past few months. No, he's not a monster. Sorry, media.

Below is an excerpt.

Below is an excerpt.

After the FA decided to strip John Terry of the England captaincy for the second time in two years over a charge for which he has not yet been tried, Fabio Capello has decided that he's had enough of being disrespected and undermined and resigned from his position. With Euro 2012 mere months away, FA chairman David Bernstein must find a suitable replacement to lead England out of the current cycles of scandals and disappointment.

I wrote yesterday that Fabio Capello And FA were set for a fireworks meeting today with neither site apparently ready to concede ground over John Terry.

Well after meeting today, it became apparent that the two sides could no longer work together and the FA has announced that Fabio Capello has stepped down as England manager.

Capell0 has resigned. Everybody tosses rocks at the FA's glass house, yet we struggle to articulate our feelings. For sure, changing coaches on the cusp of a major tournament is never good. Remember the Ivory Coast drama before the 2010 World Cup? Yes, the FA could have better included Capello in the John Terry issue.

So another Italian has abandoned a sinking ship......But seriously there is but one choice for the job, it simply has to be John Terry as player manager........

Not exactly a great week if you're John Terry. More, after the jump:

Kicks for sale

So if you're keeping score at home, that's Social Media Neophytes/Journo Hacks/Chelsea Naysayers 3, John Terry 0. First he lost the armband, which, in fairness many of us accepted with relative understanding.

So, Fabio Capello quits as the England national coach. This is, perhaps, unsurprising considering the dog's abuse that he has taken while leading the national team through an almost flawless qualification campaign, before finding that the decision over who would take the England captain's arm-band was taken away from him without consultation.

Wasn't it always going to end this way? Ironically.

Enough!

With Fabio Capello's rumored brush-up with John Terry again John Terry! at World Cup 2010 in mind here at TSG, Capello resigned his England post today, taking umbrage with the English FA for usurping his power and "de-captaining" John Terry last week.

Fabio Capello has resigned as England manager. The fallout from The FA's decision to remove John Terry's England captaincy must certainly have been a key issue in the decision by the Italian to resign. The decision by Capello to resign ...
This is a content summary. Visit http://www.epltalk.

Fabio Capello will not lead England to this summer's European Championship after resigning from his post as manager. The Italian's resignation comes following crunch talks with the FA over his outspoken criticism of the decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy before his trial for allegedly racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.

The 2012 European Championship commences exactly four months from today, and England is looking for a new manager.

In a monumental development, Fabio Capello resigned from the helm of the English national team on Wednedsay. Capello had been public in his defense of John Terry after the FA stripped the Chelsea centerback of his international captaincy amid his involvement in a racial abuse scandal.

In a friendly training ground scuffle between John Terry and Fernando Torres, you would probably expect Terry to beat the freckles out of Torres. But that would underestimate the pent-up ferocity of a man who is physically incapable of scoring goals. After getting tossed off the ball by Terry, Torres hunts him down and chucks him like a rag doll before taking the ball back.

John Terry has been England captain three times. He has been stripped of the captaincy three times. Rio Ferdinand has been England captain once. He does not want the England captaincy again. Steven Gerrard has been overlooked for the England captaincy several times. He is no longer a guaranteed starter in the side.

Harry Redknapp is a free man.

Redknapp and Sheffield Wednesday owner Milan Mandaric were acquitted of tax evasion charges after being found not guilty of avoiding to pay taxes on payments made into an offshore account in Monaco between 2002 and 2007, when both men were at Portsmouth.

Outside of Harry's court case, the issues surrounding John Terry and the England captaincy have been firmly in the media spotlight this week and while the attention is currently on manager Fabio Capello, two of Tottenham's England internationals could be set to profit from the affair.

Scott Parker emerged last season to command a regular place in the England side and since his move to White Hart Lane, our outstanding midfielder must surely be one of the first names on Capello's team sheet.
