Losing faith in Fabio Capello's England
- 1 Sep 11, 03:00 PM
Fabio Capello's England team are in Bulgaria, before taking on Wales at Wembley next week with qualification for Euro 2012 still very much in their own hands.
That's the good news; but it's still been an indifferent qualifying campaign which has fallen a long way short of erasing the memories of that pitiful World Cup campaign in South African.
Fabio Capello's performance at the 2010 World Cup would have seen most coaches sacked, except of course that the Football Association had already decided to reward the Italian with a new contract before a ball had been kicked in the finals. This contract has been reported to be worth £6m a year. It is surely so lucrative that only a fool would resign from it, while the FA certainly did not want the expense of terminating it.
