Has anyone noticed England teams tend to like to use the red and blue colours of their badge (you will remember that the lions are blue and the roses red) for marketing purposes (see also the cricket team's one day uniforms and training gear), my guess is that they think it is more appealing than red and white.

Yep.
A few years ago, when Arsenal changed/modernised their bage they introduced navy blue into it (despite it being the colour of their local rivals); IMO that move only makes sense for marketing purposes - an excuse to release line of navy blue training tops, coats, hats, etc.
Back to talking about the England manager it looks like Capello will be getting it now. I'd prefer a coach who favours a more attacking style of football but of all the candidates IMO Capello is by far the best man for the job.
