Martin O’Neill For England!

Martin O’Neill for England manager?

WHAT?!

I must admit I thought we had a manager who was highly rated and set to take us to glory, isn’t that what we’ve been told? What’s his name, oh yes, that is right some Italian bloke called Fabio Capello!

Anyway, according to The Sun today, the Villa boss is fancied by the FA’s new chief exec Ian Watmore if Capello quits.

And hey, it must be true, because they have an insider to say: ‘There is no doubt Martin O’Neill’s stock has risen again. He is seen as the preferred candidate to take over from Fabio.’

Apparently Capello has an ‘opt out’ clause in his contract meaning he could leave after the 2010 World Cup Finals, although the full contract doesn’t run out until 2012.

Apparently Capello has also been grooming Psycho Stuart Pearce. Less said about that the better! 😮
