England can wait for coach appointment, feels brooking

England can afford to leave the appointment of a manager until the eve of the European Championships if necessary, Football Association director Trevor Brooking believes. Brooking, who is part of the panel that will identify and appoint the successor to Fabio Capello, insisted that England would be able to wait until a few days before Euro 2012 to appoint a coach. “Everything will be in place,” Brooking told The Independent on Thursday following England’s 3-2 defeat to The Netherlands. “The backroom staff is very good. Whoever comes in will be really happy with that. The issue is the timing, that is why we don’t think we are in any rush. “I think you could get somebody parachuted in a few days before it, though I’m sure there are some people in our group who don’t want that.” From gulftoday
