YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
England national team coach Fabio Capello sure seems like he is trying to get fired after making remarks about John Terry, saying he was not included in the decision take the captains armband from Terry and the that FA had no right to do that. And why wouldn't he. Then Capello could walk away with a fat pay out, a martyrs pride and not have to face the wrath after another major tournament failure for England. It would be a brilliant move if it wasn't so transparent and pathetic.
