Barwick Determined Despite Lack Of Candidates
Monday 26 November 2007 at 09:02  Under-fire FA chief executive Brian Barwick has claimed that he is "determined" to find the right man to lead the England team despite a number of high-profile candidates ruling themselves out of the running.
Fabio Capello is now the favourite to land the job at 5/2 with Sky Bet and Centre Bet after Martin O'Neill pledged his future to Aston Villa and despite reports that Jose Mourinho does not want the position, the Portuguese still remains among the front-runners at 9/2 with Blue Square and Stan James.
But Barwick revealed that he is still hopeful of finding a suitable successor for Steve McClaren.
He said: "I'm not deterred - I'm determined to get the right person.
"The English footballing public is demanding that and it's my job to make sure we get that right."
Meanwhile, rumours are circulating that the FA are keen on appointing either Capello, or former Germany manger and Tottenham striker Jurgen Klinsmann alongside an English candidate such as Alan Shearer or Stuart Pearce.
