making the news today and even on the front page of the Mail. Can't see why they make such big news of it. I'm sure most of the country couldn't give a toss.

Well I think there are levels of responsibility when it comes to managing a national side, he doesn't mind taking on the role does he, you can't have both ways.
There's just no standards anymore ....
You can have it both ways.
Why would it be part of the job?
I'm English and I don't want to sing it. Why does it matter?

You silly sausage!
Back in the day then cameras would pan along the players during the anthem. Some sang it, some didn't. It was a personal choice.
Watch this from the 1990 World Cup Semi Final.
Several players don't sing it. Parker, Gazza, Walker and Shilton look to me like they aren't singing when the camera is on them.
Which of those weren't proud to play for England? Or didn't care?
And, dare I say it, when the camera cuts to Sir Bobby at the end, his mouth is firmly closed. It doesn't look to me like he has just been belting out the anthem.
Standing respectfully or singing the anthem are both fine. Always have been.
If someone is a citizen of another nation then it is more appropriate for them to stand (if able) respectfully.
Edit: because I missed the link!

I believe youll find they did, because they respected the expectations put upon them as managers of the England team to do so and all that comes with the job, and they were being paid handsomely to do so.

I imagine the Italian FA will now sack off of their players and staff
Sorry Keno- that's a great joke, and I thought "What sort of idiot would downvote that?" And tried to click on the number to see who, but caught the down arrow with my thumb.
