The early days of the ex-England manager..

    This isn't the first time Capello's quit a job you know. I remember when his management career started at Waterstone's Stockport.

    I was a fresh-faced bookseller straight out of the academy, he was a man with a belief that books would sell better in a 4-4-2 formation.

    He was obsessed with the idea of playing Catcher in the Rye as a false number 10. It never worked, obviously. It's a book, not a footballer.

    But despite Capello's failings as a bookshop manager, you should have seen the Waterstones football team. Lord, they were awful.

    He quit right before the Bookshop Football Tournament. A group of thin, pale men running around a pitch, chasing the ball like schoolboys.

    He ended up going to work for some bookshop or other called A.C. Milan. A great football team but, to be honest, atrocious booksellers.
