da pixbet: Manchester United captain Gary Neville believes Fabio Capello should remain as England boss despite the team's dreadful performance at the World Cup.
da stake casino: Neville accepts that the Italian made mistakes during the tournament but thinks the players were largely to blame for the disappointing displays.
England limped through a weak group, drawing with the USA and Algeria before edging to a 1-0 win against Slovenia, before slumping to an embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Germany at the last-16 stage.
Neville told The Times:"England are out of the World Cup and, surprise, surprise, we are talking about sacking the manager.
"If that was a reaction I expected from some fans and pundits, I was disappointed – although not exactly shocked – to hear wavering coming out of the FA. Two weeks to decide Fabio Capello's future, says Adrian Bevington, the Club England managing director.
"This is the same Club England (whatever that is) that trumpeted so proudly 28 days ago that it had taken the release clause out of the manager's contract. One minute these guys are talking about Capello as world-class, now they need a fortnight to decide if he is the man for them after all.
"What are they waiting for – to see what's in the newspapers? Where is the backbone? Now you can understand why I have had my arguments with the FA down the years.
"The FA has to stick by Capello. I do not agree with all his decisions, from squad selection to formation, but nor do I buy the idea that he merits the sack.
"It is easy for Alan Shearer to say the players haven't performed for him, but is that all one man's fault? I'd put three of Germany's four goals down to individuals.
"Whatever anyone says about systems – and I was surprised Capello didn't try 4-5-1 – these were errors from experienced players.
"We have to question how good we truly are. Better than we performed in this World Cup, for sure, but have we over-estimated our strengths on the basis of our strong record in the Champions League? Possibly.
"The success of Manchester United and Chelsea cannot be a reliable guide to the merits of the England team, given the number of top-class players from overseas."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
