Yes. This is how the FA would answer.
Seems like the experiments with foreign managers have come to an end.
The results of the experiments are not satisfying. What else did they expect? I mean this is England we are talking about. Not South Korea or Ivory Coast, where people should have been taught how they play football in Europe. In England anybody in any pub can teach Capellos and Ericssons and others how their grandfathers played this game. They would dare at least. Go manage Chealsea and City. Don't touch the national team! "Oh noooo, who is treating Englishmen like this", would be heard no matter what the results were.
And even if Terry would have been the purest person in the world, this divorce had to happen and the experiment never repeated. Not now, as the FA would plan. A bit later...
But Capello is Italian. And he is Capello! Fabio Capello. Leave his work to him. Trust me, he knows how to do it. He is Capello. The queue to get him is already there. His image is not damaged. Actually no image is damaged at all. FA is going to get a new (read - English) manager and achieve positive results at Euro. No worries about this. And nobody is going to blame them for letting a big name leave THIS way. People never talk about arrogance. And nobody is going to discuss the national identity problems. England is not unique in this.
So everything is all right. get back to work.
And remember! A country with a World Cup star on the t-shirt does not need a foreign manager. And this concerns Mourinho as well. Think only about Portugal, Special One!

Just a year ago somebody was boasting, that the Italian managers turned better than the English ones, with Capello, Ancelotti and Mancini sitting there, where it is fine for an Englishman to sit... Are we sure City is going to take the Premier League this year?
