Tottenham dilemma as Redknapp to replace Capello BEFORE season ends

Fabio Capello could be axed by England BEFORE the European Championships.

The Mail on Sunday says while FA chairman David Bernstein and other senior figures insist the Italian will see out his £6million-a-year contract, other elements inside Wembley want a new man in place for next summer's European Championship finals in Poland and Ukraine.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is being discussed as a replacement.

A well-placed source said: "It is on the agenda that Capello will be replaced before Euro 2012 and someone like Harry Redknapp will come in. People are all over the idea.

"Capello did not handle tournament football at all well in South Africa. The camp was a disaster and the players were unhappy. You could smell that a mile off.

"Nothing must compromise England's game in Montenegro (England require a point from the October 7 game to qualify for Euro 2012). But once England are safely qualified and Christmas and the New Year arrive, a change could be made."
