Capello's successor will be an Englishman
Discussion
The FA has announced that Capello is contracted to 2012 but after that they expect to appoint an Englishman.
Not bothered about Capello one way or the other, but how is this announcement supposed to get the best out of him until 2012? Seems about as well advised as making all our military intentions public.

We're used to peculiar FA statements by now, but what strikes me as interesting about this one is the implicit assumption that Capello can/will do nothing between now and the the end of his contract that will make the FA want to extend it. Which strongly implies that they would have outed him now if they could have done so without looking stupid – an impossible task of course after they'd painted themselves into a corner by signing him up to a very generous contract before the World Cup. If commercial businesses were run as ineptly as the FA there would surely be public inquiries.
