Capello No Longer England's Coach

Okay, everybody who stays in touch with English football knows that Capello is out as England manager.

This is not bad for him. No, sir. I'm sure Capello has enough money to not give a crap if he ever coaches again. (And I think he did say he was going to retire after this Euro, too, if I'm not mistaken.)
This is bad for England and for national football in that country.

Capello was undoubtedly the most productive manager the English national team had in a long, long time, and possibly ever if one considers just match statistics. So, I'm sure his replacement for this summer's tournament will not do any better than Capello would have done.

I also don't think Capello's departure is just about Terry's captaincy and nothing else.

I think the FA pressured and annoyed Capello on a lot of things.
Whenever Capello coaches a team, he gets results immediately. With England, not so much.

If you ask me, probably the English federation messed with him, not leaving him to do his job in peace, over these four years, and the Terry issue was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Why would they unilaterally change his team?

Some people just think they rule everyone else.

Thus, I guess the Italian, who won trophies upon trophies with Real Madrid and AC Milan, among others, finally said "Ah, screw it!"

In conclusion, I know one more team I'm not going to bet on to win Euro 2012!...

Oh, and Wenger apparently weighed in on the controversy, saying Capello's replacement should be an Englishman (- see more here).
Okay, fine, Wenger is entitled to his opinion, but what makes him think he should share it with us? I don't give a crap what Wenger thinks about this whole thing, Capello surely doesn't give a crap, Terry or Redknapp are probably indifferent, too, and I would bet that the FA's opinion is that Wenger should just shut up and mind his own business, also.
I guess being like a demi-god at Arsenal ('cause, otherwise, he more than deserved to be fired, based on his results) made Wenger think it's his place to tell the FA what to do and who to hire, too.
Maybe he should win a trophy or two, first, and make people believe that he knows what he's talking about...
