Fabio Capello having been to every ground in the Football League desperately begging for an English player

Frustrated English Football Manager Fabio Capello has dramatically quit his job before a ball is kicked in his first match against Switzerland due to the fact the he was unable to find eleven Englishmen who where playing in the entire Football League.

Since his appointment he has been watching all the leading Clubs but sadly could not make up a team due to all the Foreign players who are dominating English Football.

A Sports Reporter on Sky News said "Mr Capello knew from the start that he would be struggling to find just one Player in either the Premier or Championship League, so in desperation since the beginning of the New Year he has travelled the length and breadth of the UK even taking in games at lowly Lincoln, Mansfield and Wrexham but still could not make up a team".

As he was boarding his flight from Heathrow to Turin, Mr Capello who is unable to speak a word of English turned to his Grandson Giovanni aged 10 who was wearing a No: 7 Goldenballs Beckham Shirt to make a statement.

The young boy said "My Grand Papa iz a fedda uppa with ze Inglese weather, it is how you say Pissing Down every day. He also has had ze bellyful of the meat a pie and a cuppa of Bovril every Saturday afternoon at half a tima. You Inglese, you losta the special vun Mouriniho now you loosa the Great Capello. Now his £6 million is safe in his Swiss Bank my Grand Papa is a going to Torino to have a chat with some financial advisors. Arrivederci."
