I feel quite sorry for Capello. The World Cup group stages were certainly not plain sailing, however I still feel our tournament hinged on a refereeing error and who knows what might have happened if that had gone our way. He seemed methodical in his approach, and I felt we had a decent couple of years since the WC - barring the odd bore draw, but a lot of good national teams have off days every now and then.
This.
People cried out for his style of management and now demonise him for doing exactly what we wanted (same happened with Newcastle and Souness, except we demonised him for being ****
) Its hardly Capello's fault that;
a) our players aren't good enough.
b) out of a squad of 21, they can maybe scrape to together an IQ of 21.
c) their combined mental age is substantially lower than 21.
We have a squad peopled with average players who are petty, spoiled brats who believe they are a damn sight better than they actually are and will quickly duck for cover and blame a manager for their own failings as soon as things get troubled. Nor does it help that our media scrupuosly (spl?) dig up every bit of **** they can to stir up trouble to sell papers, disrupting things in the process and then wondering why things go wrong.
People need to wake up and get their ******* tongues out of these players behinds and realise that
they are the problem and they will continue to be the problem as long as players are treated the way they are.
Now roll on the sacrificial lamb to be destroyed by fans, players and press. Why anyone would want the job or why anyone even gives a flying **** about England is beyond me
If you can't tell I am somewhat irate at the moment
