And it's all gone quiet over there

No talks with Fabio Capello successor - Football Association

A statement form the advisors of Mr MG.C:

'We can confirm that no contact has been made with the Football Association and that Mr MG.C is therefore the most likely successor to Mr Capello.

No further comments will be made until further updates are available.'

Hi again, Dave,

Just a quick one to kindly thank you for responding so quickly once
again. I greatly appreciate the note you have added re applying for
the England Manager role! ;-) That'll weedle out the time wasters,
eh?!

Dear David,

First of all, I must say how impressed I am with your quick thinking;
the very same day that you had to deal with the departure of Mr
Capello and the inevitable press interest and intrusions, you had the
foresight to change your email name to 'The Human Resources Team',
thereby throwing all of our 'friends' involved in The Leveson Inquiry'
off the scent. I am very impressed by this attention to detail and
willlingness to keep a veil of secrecy over proceedings.

In the good old days, you could sit at home in your darkened room, close the curtains to eradicate any light falling across the screen and let FIFA 98 whisk you away to the World's great stadia. Whether it was your dream to play in Parc des Princes, Wembley Stadium, Adams Park or the Bernabéu, FIFA 98 would allow you to fulfil some of your cleaner fantasies in front of a packed crowd with a staccato Barry Davies commentating.

Dear Mr Bernstein,

It is with a mixture of emotions that I have just learnt of the precipitous departure of Mr Fabio Capello from the employ of the Football Association and it is for this reason that I am contacting you directly. Speaking as an England fan, first and foremost and a highly successful manager a close second, I can confirm that I am announcing my intention to postulate for the post of England Team Manager.
