These words reported by something called Italpress, and reprinted on Football Italia. Hard to confirm their authenticity, but if true, consider this bridge burned:
“What really hit me and forced me to take this decision was the fact the much-vaunted Anglo-Saxon sense of justice, as they are the first to claim that everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
“In Terry’s case, they gravely offended me and damaged my authority at the head of the England side, effectively creating a problem for the squad.
“I have never tolerated certain interference and crossing of lines, so it was easy for me to spot it and take my decision to leave.”
It must be stressed these remarks have not been confirmed as authentic. But they’re on a website, and this is a blog, so…
UPDATE: Late report that these remarks are indeed a pile of crap:
Capello denies quotes attributed to him on Italian website. Threatens legal action #pafabio

“much vaunted Anglo-Saxon”; sounds too eloquent for the vast majority of football personalities
Stuart Pearce is the obvious choice no? I don’t see Harry leaving White Hart Lane just yet.
