Man Utd boss Ferguson supports Capello in FA row

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Fabio Capello - not the FA - should be making all decisions relating to Team England.

According to Ferguson, the FA is not as powerful as that of Capello, who is in the final months of a £6million-a-year contract and has been charged with the task of securing glory at Euro 2012.

"There's nothing wrong with having an opinion," said Ferguson.

"I think what will happen in the next few days is there'll have to be a coming together of the FA hierarchy and Fabio Capello because he's the team manager, he has the importance of that position.

"Without question the most important person at a football club is the manager."
