Give me England job so I can relegate them, says Ferguson

IF England wants a new manager with a glittering record it needs look no further than Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who would love to take the job. The Scot joked yesterday that he was in the frame for the vacancy left by Fabio Capello's shock resignation this week and outlined his plans for taking charge of Scotland's great rival.

"The FA have approached (United chief executive) David Gill today to speak to me. So I said I would make the decision on April 1," he grinned at a news conference. "It's a good idea. I could relegate them."

Ferguson backed the overwhelming favorite for the job - Tottenham Hotspur's English manager Harry Redknapp. "Harry is the right man, he's got the experience, the support, personality, the knowledge of the game," he said.
