Bookies - because they don't want to lose money
Journos - because pretty much to a man they haven't got a clue what they're talking about and none are prepared to step out of line.
Senior pros - 'cos they know it's a comfy, shoo-in old school arrangement that won't trouble them with trivial things like having to play well to guard against a youngster taking their place
Young pros - well there don't seem to be too many of them supporting 'Arry do there, wonder why?

"But consider this. Capello recently went on holiday over the Christmas period! He speaks Italian! He doesn't do chest-thumping passion! He hasn't wasted one nano-joule of energy in buttering up the English press pack! And not once in his so-called career has he won the FA Cup, or pulled off an audacious relegation escape by signing Paul Kitson and John Hartson, even though he was the man who led his team into deep relegation trouble in the first place, or got a club relegated from the top flight after a 27-year residency, or proved himself to be a more successful boss than Jacques Santini and Christian Gross and Ossie Ardiles and Doug Livermore and Ray Clemence! So, no loss, then. Chancer. Foreign chancer. Bye!"Brilliant bit of prose ...
