The Football Association remain fully focused on Wednesday afternoon's crucial World Cup clash with Slovenia and have not had any discussions over the future of Fabio Capello.

If England fail to win in Port Elizabeth, they will almost certainly be heading home after collecting just two points from their opening couple of Group C games.

It would inevitably raises serious questions over Capello's future, even though it is less than three weeks since the Italian signed a revised contract, taking out a break clause in his £6million-a-year deal, that now runs until the end of Euro 2012.

There has been plenty of speculation that Capello would resign should England fail to reach the last 16, with fresh stories to that effect appearing on virtually an hourly basis, which the FA are acutely aware they cannot stop.

However, Club England managing director Adrian Bevington, who along with chairman Sir David Richards, would be responsible for recommending a course of action to the FA's international board, insists they will not get sidetracked by all the speculation.

"We are absolutely focused on Wednesday night's game," said Bevington this evening.

"Nothing else is in our minds. We are fully supportive of Fabio Capello and the England team and believe they will have the total support of the England fans in Port Elizabeth this week."

The England boss, who led the team to nine wins in 10 games in qualification, has refused to say whether he will leave his post if the team fail to qualify from a group they were expected to breeze through.

Capello shot to the top of Inter Milan's wanted list following the departure of Jose Mourinho but, having discovered the 64-year-old was happy to remain where he was, subsequently appointed Rafael Benitez.

At the time it was impossible to imagine results would take quite such a sharp downturn, with Capello's management style now being questioned, as well as his selections.

Earlier, when asked about whether Capello would remain as manager if England failed to progress from the group stage, Bevington told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "Fabio was given a contract until 2012 and nothing has changed in that respect.

"Our position was very clear when we dealt with this three or four weeks ago. Nothing has changed as far as we are concerned."

Reports have suggested the players are unhappy with Wayne Rooney for his blast at the England fans who booed the team after Friday's dismal 0-0 draw with Algeria.

Joe Cole's omission from the first two games has also reportedly startled some team members, but Bevington insists there is no disharmony in the England camp.

"There is certainly not any disharmony from what I have seen," said Bevington.

"Anyone who works on media or in football knows that when the results or performances are not quite what they want them to be - and when the whole focus of attention is on you - people look for certain angles and we have seen this many times over the years.

"When results aren't going particularly well then you hear different stories of disharmony in the camp.

"I have been around England for the best part of 13 or 14 years now and what I have seen is that we have a very experienced manager here who has been applauded from the minute he got the job.

"We appreciate that on Friday evening the level of experience wasn't anywhere near what we would have liked.

"Fabio was open about that but the most important thing is that we all stay together as one."
