Yeah...it is quite sad though seeing one of Scotland's two teams in such dire straits. They have no strikers any more. Celtic on for a treble, Rangers on for a duck.

Capello quits as England manager

Fabio Capello has resigned as England manager, the Football Association has confirmed.
Capello resigned after a meeting with FA chairman David Bernstein and general secretary Alex Horne at Wembley.
An FA statement read:  "The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England manager."

On Monday, the Italian publicly challenged the FA's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy.
The FA's statement continued: "The discussions focused on the FA Board's decision to remove the England team captaincy from John Terry, and Fabio Capello's response through an Italian broadcast interview.
"In a meeting for over an hour, Fabio's resignation was accepted and he will leave the post of England manager with immediate effect."

Bernstein said: "I would like to stress that during [the] meeting and throughout his time as England manager, Fabio has conducted himself in an extremely professional manner.

"We have accepted Fabio's resignation, agreeing this is the right decision. We would like to thank Fabio for his work with the England team and wish him every success in the future."

A media conference with Bernstein and the Club England management team will take place at Wembley Stadium on Thursday at 1200 GMT.

The FA will not be making any further comment until the media conference.

Wednesday's meeting was the first time Capello had met the FA since their decision to remove the armband from Terry pending the outcome of his court case in July.

Terry, 31, denies a charge of allegedly racially abusing QPR's Anton Ferdinand.

On Sunday, Capello told Italy's state broadcaster RAI he did not believe someone should be punished by sporting authorities before a court had reached a verdict.

"I thought it was right that Terry should keep the captain's armband," said the 65-year-old, who's first game in charge was on 6 February 2008, against Switzerland.

"I have spoken to the [FA] chairman and I have said that in my opinion one cannot be punished until it is official and the court - a non-sport court, a civil court - had made a decision to decide if John Terry has done what he is accused of."

It is understood England Under-21 head coach Stuart Pearce will be in charge for England's friendly against the Netherlands at Wembley on 29 February.

Howard Webb is having a howler out there today...

Capello quit so, I see his point that your innocent until proven guilty but he was a disaster so I don't think many will complain, cheaper then firing him.

Great timing with Harry getting off. I still think its Harry's job but not until the summer. Maybe Pearce will take over for the Euro's but he has the Olympic team. Hiddink has said he is interested but not sure if he would take a short term deal.

Pearce is interim manager. The FA will appoint 'Arry, no doubt at the end of the season. Whoever they hire, hopefully they make a point of letting everyone know that it is a long term building project, and we do not expect immediate success, in the way Germany did it. But knowing the FA, that won't happen.

Suarez is some scum bag. Wouldn't shake Evra's hand after Evra offered it. King Kenny must feel like an awful tit after he said last week that he spoke with Suarez and he told him he would shake Evra's hand.
