Why Lippi is the man to take England forward...

Jose's rejected the job apparently, making Marcello Lippi and Fabio Capello the new favorites. Without a doubt, we should plump for Lippi. Is it because he's already a World Cup winning manager? Or is it his vast international experience? Or even his ability to craft a side that is defensively solid but dangerous and effective on the break? Well, no.

It's because he looks cool.

Just look at the man, with his cigar and 80's-style specs that look like he's raided Jimmy Saville's dressing room. Class act.

There's no question he would be an improvement on this fashion calamity anyway. Umbrellas + Latte = not cool.
