MARTIN O'NEILL FOR ENGLAND

England begin their Euro 2012 Qualifying Campaign against Bulgaria at Wembley on Friday and then in Basle,away to Switzerland on Tuesday.Lets not get carried away about the "wonderful achievement" to reach the finals.England keep being drawn into manageable groups.Reaching the final stages is not the problem,its getting to the actual final let alone winning it!The highest paid national coach is not in many people's view,certainly mine,the right man for England.Fabio Capello at the every least should win the group.Waiting in the wings at present is one of two managers I have always felt should be Engand's manager and that is Martin O'Neill.The other one is Harry Redknapp.Martin did not give the FA the sort of interview they wanted,just like his mentor Brian Clough,and Im told thew FA didn't like the idea of Martin's able assistants John Robertson and Steve Walford.What do the FA really know?Would players be picked on the way they interview? If a person has talent is the one-off interview really the way to decide.In football everyone knows about everything about the top people.There are many people in life who interview brilliantly but do not in the end do the job well.If Capello got the job on what he achieved at club level in Italy and Spain then it makes mockery interviewing some-one for the England job.Capello is still struggling to learn English.Let us hope for a fine England performance and result over the next few days but lets not get carried away either.
