Fabio Capello Backs ‘Arry And Big Sam For The England Job
With the date of his departure already set in stone, England manager Fabio Capello has already vowed that his £6 million-per-annum contract with the FA will be his last in football – a final appendix to his glistening 47-year career that is already looking more like a high-rolling pension than a swansong of any substance….
President Sepp Blatter: ‘FIFA Is Not Corrupt, There Are No Rotten Eggs’
FIFA’s erstwhile despot president Sepp Blatter has branded the English as ‘bad losers’ in the wake of the recent World Cup auction which saw Russia and Qatar purchase the rights to host the 2018 and 2022 tournaments respectively. Upon crashing out of the ‘ballot’ in the first round with a paltry total of two votes…
Harry Redknapp On FA ‘Long List’ To Become Next England Manager
Word is filtering down from highly-prominent FA sources this morning that Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is a leading contender to replace incumbent Fabio Capello as England manager when the Italian’s contract expires in 2012 – news which is, at best, another one in the eye for the gods of karmic retribution and, at worst, a…
FA Face Limbo As Chairman Stands Down In FIFA Protest
England 2018′s resolute failure to schmooze their way into FIFA’s good books earlier in the week have left relations between the two camps at an all-time low, with the English FA left to fume over a ‘complete breakdown in trust’ after seeing their glossy, self-entitled £15 million pitch get widely snubbed by the voting members…
FIFA’s World Cup Sell-Out: The 2018 Aftermath
The fall-out from FIFA’s utterly predictable decision to chase the World Cup Gaz-ruble/Petro-dollar has begun in earnest this morning, with the English media’s reaction swathed in varying hues of frothing umbrage; be it with a flurry of archetypal thinly-veiled racism, über-obnoxious pontification and/or weapon’s grade blame dispersal. The nation’s front pages are awash with monosyllabic…
Fergie Time: How England Can Host the Next World Cup
Welcome to Fergie Time, a roundup/newsletter type deal that delivers news, opinion and links directly to your screen. As the name suggests, there will be some exaggeration, nsfw moments, canceled press conferences (oh, who are we kidding) and late, late, late scoring of points. You’ll like it, trust me. AT LEAST ENGLAND DIDN’T LOSE ON…
Slick Pitch Leaves England 2018 Bid In Pole Position
Sitting through the four respective last-ditch World Cup 2018 pitches this morning was nigh-on insufferable at times, as if trapped in a hellish junior management sales exposition that was doomed to cycle on for the rest of human existence. First up, Holland and Belgium, who’s bid president Ruud Gullit opened up by informing the room…
Ode to Emile
Emile Heskey perhaps epitomises the recent state of the England squad. Slow, tired, unable to find goals and the butt of the majority of jokes sent from phone to phone, laptop to laptop. Many stats and figures have been passed around throughout his international career, the most relevant perhaps being that goalkeepers Rene Higuita and…
David Beckham: ‘We Can Trust FIFA Members’
As part of the final preemptive charm offensive before tomorrow’s big ballot, the England 2018 World Cup bid team have sent out their big-hitting (and chintzily named) ‘Three Lions’ out into the conference and media halls of Zurich to deliver one last wave of thick, undulating schmooze to the relevant FIFA Executive Committee (ExCo) members…
If Bolton can change, England certainly can
Under the influence of Owen Coyle, Bolton Wanderers have spent this season surprising and dazzling onlookers with their new found appreciation for flowing football. The reinvention of the Trotters is a fantastic example of how a manager can transform a team by instilling belief and direction in his players; two things the English national side are in desperate need of.
