Ex manager Steve McClaren didn’t exactly have the most difficult of groups but his England team including much the same set of players as Capello’s struggled to find form and confidence and that resulted in the failure to qualify for the European Championships on the last occasion back in 2007.

Enter Fabio Capello – a master in management and a guy who has actually managed to earn the respect of the nation and of his players by convincing them they can go on to win the tournament while also keep their feet firmly on the ground and disconnecting any individual player for praise. ‘The team’ as he keep referring have done well. On ITV last night he commented on certain individuals playing well but wouldn’t name them and also refuses to talk about the prospect of winning the World Cup next year.

Managing England it seems is a doddle again – at least the man in charge has got a wealth of experience in doing it and doing it well…think back to previous managers and I’m sure you’ll agree that this is possibly the best chance we’ve had of going all the way since 1990.
