The media reaction to the impending arrival of Fabio Capello seems rather familiar to the wave of enthusiasm that greeted Sven-Goran Eriksson’s appointment as England manager – a man in a smart suit with a record of success in Italian and European football and someone with a different style to his predecessors (Eriksson was ‘tactically astute’ while Capello is a ‘disciplinarian’).When Eriksson was appointed I bored friends and colleagues with my rather pessimistic take on the Swede’s likelihood of success at England and I’m afraid I’m going to do the same with Capello. So, as a balance to the euphoria, here are 10 reasons to be sceptical of Don Fabio’s chances with England.
