Capello has created a storm of controversy by putting his name to the project, which has left senior figures within the FA feeling very uncomfortable.

Although the FA have yet to offer an official stance, it would appear Capello will come under pressure to shelve the idea, at least until after the World Cup.

The site intends to use the 'Capello Index' to provide performance data on all players within two hours of games ending in South Africa.

Already it has been depicted as Capello's analysis of matches being made public, when in actual fact that is not the case.

However, the perception is clear for everyone to see and the FA are desperate to avoid any allegation of disharmony in the England camp for what they view as totally unnecessary reasons.

Players are notoriously sensitive to their performances being marked and as they currently pay the 63-year-old a £6million annual salary, the FA are questioning why Capello should feel the need to get involved in any outside project, let alone one so potentially inflammatory just 24 hours before the Italian names his 30-man provisional squad for South Africa.

If the project is suspended as predicted, it would also wipe away the suggestion of involvement by Capello's family, although as the data is due to be used the Premier League next season, even a temporary suspension may not appease everyone.

In the 'Capello Index', player performances would be marked out of 100 - based on an analysis provided by the England chief.

Points are awarded depending on the area of the pitch players competed in and the importance of the match.

A four-week trial of the index, limited to players from Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool - rated Ledley King as the best English defender.

And Joe Cole was ranked as the third best midfielder, even though his place in the squad Capello names this afternoon is far from certain.
