FA to appoint animal as England Coach after World Cup

The English FA have decided to depart from their usual procedures and appoint an animal as England football manager once the World Cup is over. The FA have recently that they are due to part company with current manager, Sven Goran Eriksson after the summer games.

Animal	Odds
Fox	5/2
Meerkat	3/1
Hedgehog	4/1
Parrot	8/1
Horse	12/1
Owl	20/1
Fox	50/1
Donkey	100/1

Bookmakers and pundits alike believed that the choice of successor would be fairly straightforward due to the pressure being exerted to choose a specifically English manager and the fact that there are a limited number of successful English managers currently plying their trade in the Premiership. Sports Minister, Richard Caborn, announced:

"After a great deal of deliberation, conjugation and proliferation, the FA have decided that we will comply with the wishes of every single individual in the country," said the Sports minister. "It was a tough job, there were lots of opinions to try to distil into a coherent choice but we think we've been successful."

"We haven't decided which animal should succeed Sven, yet. We originally toyed with the idea of using a Cow, but they've recently had some gay press which clearly is massively harmful to our national sport. Then we came up with the idea of using an Owl before realising that wasn't a far enough departure from the previous manager."

Bookmakers currently make a Fox the top candidate, with Meerkat a very close second.
