The Daily Telegraph reports that leading Premier League managers have offered to help Fabio Capello in improving England.
According to the report, a letter has been sent to Capello to invite him to a League Managers Association (LMA) think-tank to discuss ways of improving the national team after their dismal World Cup showing.
LMA chief executive Richard Bevan told the paper that the meeting would grant Capello "access to the immense knowledge'' of individuals such as Arsène Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson and Roy Hodgson.
"Capello is a highly respected manager, well liked by the managers," Bevan said.
"We want to work closely with England.
"There were mistakes made in the World Cup but the feedback I've had from members is 'how do we help the England manager?
"In the Nineties, managers used to come together and advise the FA. We can help Fabio by ensuring he has the access to a think-tank. These guys know what they are doing.
"One manager said to me that if England want to win a World Cup or European Championship they had to have a club mentality.
"To play with a club mentality the England manager has to understand how a club player ticks, therefore you have to work very closely with the club managers. I want to encourage that.
"I am certain the FA and Fabio will come along to a dinner every couple of months and debate players, football and strategy and issues."
England, with Capello, kick-off their Euro 2012 qualifiers on Friday against Bulgaria.
