Resigns as England Manager

Gives them a nice excuse as to why England will under-perform at the Euro's and get out-classed once more by the likes of Spain/Germany/Italy/France/Portugal/Holland

Pearce till after euros then

I think most England fans wont even need that excuse. Its going to happen anyway irregardless of whether they have lost the manager, their best player being suspended for 2 games and probably their most natural born leader being stripped of the captaincy. Its going to be an absolute disaster.

As said before, they should use this to build for the future. Use this tournement as experience for the younger guys.

Agree with Hodge, Pearce until after the Euro's then it I think it will be Jose Mourinho. I don't think Redknapp will leave Tottenham

About fucking time!

Give it to Psycho!

What about Hiddink coming in as a short-term solution for the Euro's? And yes I agree this tournament should be used to give the youth some experience and game time.

can see them doing better without capello, nothing against him, but if the players react to earn themselves a future in the team then it will be okay. Can see micah richards eager to get in and stay in, for example

The thing i find funny is this whole thing was started by racism, but everycunt is saying the new manager must be English, what about the best man for the job?

I think it's a work anyway haha. Also as soon as he said something against the FA there was mention Capello may have breached his contract by doing this, so I don't think it's simply a resignation.

I think they Sacked him to be honest.

The Football Association insists that the political beliefs of Stuart Pearce's brother will have no impact on the interim England coach.

Less than 24 hours after being confirmed as caretaker manager of the Three Lions for the forthcoming friendly with Holland, Pearcehas hit the headlines after some newspapers reported his brother was a member of the far-right British National Party.

Pearce has been placed in temporary charge in the wake of Fabio Capello's resignation, with the Italian unhappy that John Terry was stripped of the captaincy by the FA until the conclusion of his trial for allegedly racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. Terry has always denied the charges.

But Club England managing director Adrian Bevington insists that Pearce's family has no impact on his role.

"There have been a few occasions where Stuart has been asked this specific question and, as an individual, he has made it clear that he is not involved in his brother's political beliefs, in the same way as I'm sure that everybody who has siblings does not always share their political stance," said Bevington.

"It is a matter for Stuart Pearce's brother rather than Stuart, we would suggest.

"I don't think we can get into the realms of being judgmental on someone because of what their brother or any sibling's views may be."

Ince

However, there is also another difficulty involving Pearce.

The former England international was accused of making a racist remark about Paul Ince in 1994, which PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor subsequently claimed Pearce regretted.

That matter was put to FA chairman David Bernstein at Wembley on Thursday, only for it to be made clear it was not up for debate.

"We're not going to go back over extensive grounds today in that respect," said Bernstein.

"I certainly can't talk about that comment."

who the fuck would know what his brother was or was not if it wasn't for the shitting press. I know english football/society is a joke but we don't need reminding every ten minutes

I wouldn't be surprised if he threatened to quit, thinking the FA would back down this close to the Euros, only for the FA to go 'Yup, hokey-dokey, cheerio!'.
