Yet more confirmation the FA have not got a clue.
here is a man (Jose) stating he was hours from the England job. One of the most charismatic characters to come out of English football in decades, a former "trainee" of the great Bobby Robson and highly successful manager at Chelsea and other clubs. A man manager of the highest order, at the time managing some of the top players in English football at Chelsea.
The FA today simply say Capello was always the first choice in their minds. So by doing so have not denied Jose remarks and moreover had clearly made the decision to go with an Italian who could barely speak English, had not experience of the English game, never worked with English players, never lived in England etc etc over Jose Marinho the fans favourite disciple of recent times?
All I can say it beggars belief. They really don't know what they are doing.
All I can think about now is if Jose had been appointed what difference would that have made to the shambles we witnessed at last summers world cup?
Utter bewilderment, I need a lie down....
