FA CHIEF executive Brian Barwick believes he has secured the services of a "world class manager" in Italian Fabio Capello.
Great!
Like most of us, I'd rather we had an English bloke in charge but I'd rather be watch England in South Africa in two years' time under Capello than spend another summer mowing the lawn.
It might seem an odd career move for Capello who has a golden pedigree as a European manager - taking charge of a set of perennial under-achievers, inflated egos and media madams all the while under the malevolent eye of the national press.
But, as Mrs Merton might say, "So Fabio what first attracted you to this £6m-a-year job?"
To go back to Barwick's point, let's have a world class manager - and so what if they're Italian.
And next up, let's see if the Italian FA Chief Executive is available?
