Now comes news from The Daily Mail that says Capello's World Cup preparations have been thrown further into disarray by an illegal recording of an England team meeting before last week's friendly against Egypt.
The FA launched an investigation into how a bug was planted in a meeting room at the team hotel in Hertfordshire. It is thought the spies have a six-hour recording and FA lawyers have moved to block any publication of the material, claiming a flagrant breach of privacy laws.
While Capello hoped Wednesday's 3-1 win at Wembley had brought a scandal-ridden few weeks to a more positive conclusion, the England manager will now be bracing himself for yet more controversy.
The FA do not know who is responsible for the recording, or indeed who is in possession of the material, but there is speculation that the contents could be extremely embarrassing.
It has been suggested that England players are heard discussing bonuses they want for doing well in South Africa. There is also speculation that players are heard joking about sex scandals. In addition, Capello is said to have discussed tactics.

Jeez, even more controversy to waddle through ... not good. More great news, flipping brilliant! It's all over the papers and apparently The News of the World has a bunch of stuff on tape and in photos that are being put into the feeding frenzy piece by piece, one English player at a time.The Press is tearing up everything just because they can. We'll be on fucking fumes by time the plane lands in South Africa. |

News of The World you say? Unless they've got tape and pictures I wouldn't worry much about that pack of hyenas. | |

Oh crap! I just read your comment again. THEY DO HAVE TAPE AND PICTURES of the players? If they do, you know it's coming around mid-April - just in time for the Champions League semis and Capello's last crack at his final lineup. | |
