FA must call Mourinho's bluff

Jose Mourinho may or may not be bluffing about his interest in taking over as England coach - but there is one simple way to find out.

The Football Association should call Mourinho's bluff. Today.

Mourinho is far and away the outstanding candidate to succeed Steve McClaren. He is also available.

And yet we have the farce of the FA canvassing luminaries such as John Toshack, Michel Platini, Franz Beckenbauer and Sir Alex Ferguson before making its move.

This is utter nonsense. Never mind "the process", just get on the phone.
