FA say England manager appointment close

Football Association chief executive Alex Horne says they're close to naming the new England manager. The four-man panel charged withnaming Fabio Capello's replacement have refused to go too early for fear of upsetting one of England's leading clubs. "We're waiting until the tail end of the season," Horne told BBC Sport . "We are not far away." Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is regarded as favourite for the post.
