30 January 2008 Will Fabio Capello follow George Burley by wearing an English tie? The UK’s biggest online tie retailer has challenged England manager Fabio Capello to follow the example of new Scotland manager George Burley by publicly wearing a patriotic English tie. TieWarehouse.co.uk has sent one of its silk ties featuring waving English flags to Capello at the Football Association. It’s after George Burley wore a blue silk tie covered in Scottish Saltires when he accepted the Scotland job last week. Since then so many Tartan Army fans have bought the tie from Tie Warehouse that it has sold out. It’s having emergency supplies delivered at the end of the week to meet the demand. Gary Baker from Tie Warehouse said Italian Capello would benefit from an obvious display of national pride. He said: “Imagine what a message it would send to the England fans." “Fabio Capello said when he accepted the job that he would learn English, which is going to take a while to make an impact. But by wearing this tie he will instantly send a message that he believes in the country and the team.” You can view the tie sent to Fabio Capello at http://www.tiewarehouse.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1299 ENDS Notes to Editors: Tie Warehouse is an online retailer of men’s ties and related accessories.
