Poll: Capello quits

[Pigeon_Killer]

Joke of a decision. We don't have a single English manager who comes anywhere near Capello in terms of success or ability and the fact he's been kicked out having won the highest percentage of games of any English manager makes it even more laughable.

If people are happy to accept failing to quality for tournaments or failure to qualify from the group stages then English is the way forward, if people want a reasonably successful manager then foreign is the only option. If anything Sven and Capello over achieved with the English players they had available to them.

 

[Weebull]

Get Simon Grayson in.

Imagine he'd be bored stiff having about 8 games a year and no day to day training as well.

i'm not so sure. he's said in the past how tiered he feels at times. he travels from dorset to training by car every day, only so long a man of his age will be wanting to do that. the england job would be one nice last hurrah for him.

Bring him back. Reading Didi Hamann's book has reminded me how much of a legend he is.

This I agree with.

The FA always wanted a figure head to be the face of the massive money making machine that they are. I know it's slightly off topic but the reason why England fail at so many big tournaments and championships is because we do not have players good enough simple as that. We do not produce enough world class players and the FA are demanding instant success. Change is needed from the top down, not just the guy running the England Senior team

 

[Loki]

Erm, we are... Burton getting the go ahead, etc.

Don't kid yourself mate really don't. I'm not blowing my own trumpet here or anybody who is in the know. I am involved in children's football and coaching and have done work with Manchester FA. Burton is not throwing the net either wide enough or deep enough, nowhere near.

Money is needed for better facilities up and down the country. Money is needed to support coach education. My boys team have played two matches since December 10th. How on earth do you develop the talent good enough to get into Burton in the first place when kids are training for an hour a week at best ???

 

[BaZ87]

I love SSN. Capello quits so who do they get to phone up and discuss it? Barry Fry (he's actually in the studio), Neil Warnock and Gazza

Gazza wants to bring back Venables

 

[Third Opinion]

How convenient, Redknapp gets aquited, Capello resigns. LOL what a lovely corrupt sport.

 

[Tom84]

I'm not sure how having a no lose situation at a major tournament would be a bad way to start.

You dont think starting with a loss is a bad way of starting?

Lets say for arguments sake you have Pearce in charge at the Euro's no pressure on him from anyone as the whole world knows he's there in the short term. Any positives that are taken from the tournament just adds to the bright new rosy future under Redknapp

Scenario number 2 Redknapp takes the helm for the tournament, he picks the squad, the team, the tactics and it all goes wrong given he is the long term manager you really think he wont get any flack for any mistakes he makes even though he's only been in the job 5 minutes?

The negatives far outweigh any possible positives

To be honest I don't know why Harry wants it really, he's flying at Spurs at the minute with another champions league campaign on the horizon why jack all that in to be on a hiding to nothing with England?

Imagine he'd be bored stiff having about 8 games a year and no day to day training as well.

£8m a year is about the only reason any first rate manager would want to take on the England job, Harry is perhaps special in that he's nearing the end of his career.

 

[Nate75]

Probably been suggested already but I imagine they'll offer it to Redknapp just for the Euro's then discuss it full time after the tournament.

Yeah this I think is most likely, and I welcome it.

Well we're not going to win the WC in 2 years time either so we might as well wait another 2 years.

What happens if Pearce (or whoever) does reasonably well, we might find people calling for him to keep it. Imagine if Redknapp then took over and had a slow start, there'd be even more of an outcry.

Because of what's gone on, there's little to lose for anybody that takes us to the euros and you may as well give it to the man that you want to take us beyond the tournament.

Had a feeling this would happen the English job must be extremely unappealing to any manager thanks to the stupidity of the media, who seem intent on constantly undermining any English manager

 

[dannyjo22]

England fans are embarrassing, time and time again they band an experienced manager clueless and whip out cliches about no plan b when we fail yet again.

Seriously the stuff in this thread about capello being clueless is laughable.

These qualified managers try their best and then realise there isn't a decent pool of talent to dip into to drop these so called stars.

It doesn't matter what manager we get, we are ****. Friendlies aren't taken seriously enough to gel a team and players and club managers look for any excuse to cry off them.

European championship football killed international football. The quality is far above england friendlies and they just don't care. Sure the england captain and players can trot out cliches about playing for england but the performances tell another story.

Just pick a championship manager and pay them 1m per year, save a fortune and play the U21's.

 

[stulid]

Just heard, HAHAHA, come on Harry!!!!

 

[lego]

I don't get all this talk with Harry being the New England manager, it's a bit late, the Superbowl was last week

Very good I was a looking for a reference to tax dodging at first!

Well, the media and the FA...

Sky Sports News. Ridiculous. "Katie, you're at Capello's house, is he home?". "No". "Oh."

 

[Bennah]

Redknapp is favourite with everyone. Can't see it happening anytime soon.

This could only happen to England months before a major tournament.

 

[j.col]

Imo Hiddink will get the job, it would cost the FA too much in compensation to get Arry from Spurs.
