Right Man For The Job

Fabio Capello breezed into town as the new manager of England promising his English will be so much better when he takes charge of his new squad.
There is no doubt in my mind that the FA have made a great choice, there were other people on the list who also fall into that category but Capello got the nod.
The "we want an English manager" brigade have had their say, Paul Ince was said to be upset that a non English manager was selected, well Paul I've news for you, most of the football supporters in this country are upset we haven't qualified for the European Championships and we know the nationality of the guy responsible for that.
Fact: No living English manager has won the European Cup.
Fact: No English Manager has ever won the Premier League.
The FA had to go foreign, no ifs or buts about that.
There will be so much rubbish wrote about Capello between now and his first game (and so much more after) but the simple facts remain, he is a winner and his list of trophies is second to none, he knows how to deal with players and he is an ex international.
The FA should back him to the hilt, him and his backroom staff and the English Football team might just give us all something to shout about again.
