Let's hope that the FA don't confuse Capelo with Capelulo. It's a pass near Llandudno.

Only a top-drawer English/ British manager who has top-level European/ international experience, or one who could be capable of easily acquiring such.
For me, that boils down to Bobby Robson or Roy Hodgson; capable, domestic British-born club managers?
That puts only either Sir Alex or Martin O'Neill into the mix.
That's your options, domestically.

Bobby Robson might be a little old man now, but, by Christ, he definitely has the charisma, motivation, energy and passion to sort them out good and proper.
Extremely astute, can spot a player and pick a team- his only difficulty is associating names with faces.
Sir Bobby could take you far.

The Italians may like to forget that the country going to the European Championships in England's -so called- place is Russia....managed by a Dutchman.
I'm not one of those people who thinks the FA should ignore the best man for the job, because he's the wrong nationality.

Wanting a manager to be of the same Nationality is just plain outdated
Nothing more than flag waving nationalism
You want the best qualified Manager who has the runs on the board
and the smarts to succeed at international level when it counts
By sticking to your own you are limiting your potential to succeed
Australia ownly succeeded when it brought in another Nationality(dutch) with a pedigree(world cup)unmatched by anyone in the nation
