Why not, i defo would, One of the only people to show any passion and wears his heart on his sleeve, Would be respected by the players
Id have Stuart Pearce, Harry Redknapp or Roy HodgsonShould Capello go?
IMO no. He’s got a top quality CV, one of the best in the world. England were excellent in qualification.
I think he started making mistakes in the build up to the World Cup and has had a very poor tournament. But seeing as he has the vast experience and talent he has I think it would be stupid to turf him out after this. He’ll have learnt a lot about about England, the English press and tournament football this summer. His English will improve when he has a few more years behind him.I also think there isn’t any overwhelming candidates to take over from him. Harry Redknapp??? Give me a break. He has so much baggage the knives will be stabbing him in the back as soon as he has the press conference giving him the job. Getting 4th place with Spurs is a success, but it’s a success based totally on the implosion of LFC. He is also a twitching tvat.
Hodgson. Yeah, let’s appoint someone on the back of 5 minutes of success in a mediocre career. That’ll work, won’t it? :roll:Hiddink would be a possible, but his Russia side didn’t even make the WC.
For me, stick with Capello and have a massive cull of our ridiculous press and the idiots who feed the press. Burn down Fleet Street and shoot to kill with all rioters tonight.
Capello’s problem i think was that he started to panic in the build up to the world cup.
We cruised through the qualifiers looking & playing confidently. he picked players who were in form & if during a game things weren’t quite going to plan he had the nouse to turn it round.
Come preparation for the world cup & he starts to pick players he knows have done a job for him – regardless of their form, injuries or appearance record for their club & to top it off starts to try & beg “internationally retired” players to come back. I’ve heard plenty of “insiders” in the press stating that there were players left out of the squad who were the best in training amongst the 30 man squad but he chose to stick with what he knew & tell the likes of Adam Johnson that his turn will come in euro qualifying. Why??? If he was good enough then he should have gone to South Africa
come the tournament & his ability to know what to do to change things round disappears & his system of play becomes too rigid. I’ve no problem with him sticking with 4-4-2 but if (like Bobby) it “his formation or nothing” to go to a world cup without any out & out left wingers is criminalThat said, its not Capello’s fault that Rooney couldn;t trap a bag of cement during the entire tournament or that Terry & Upson forgot how to defend or that none of the team seemed capable of stringing more than 2 or 3 penetrating passes together
Ah well, at least now I can enjoy the garden instead of having myself dragged through this god-awful tournament. Easily the worst I’ve seen for years.

Hodgson. Yeah, let’s appoint someone on the back of 5 minutes of success in a mediocre career. That’ll work, won’t it? :roll:Pembertonian, I think Roy Hodgson has had a little more than five minutes of success, and I’d hardly call his career mediocre.
I read a newspaper article on him a few months ago, and surprised at how much success he’s had around Europe, and how little of it I knew about, or had forgotten about. In summary, here’s what he’s achieved:
He’s turned the fortunes round, and won the national championship with three different teams (Hamlstad, Malmo & Copenhagen), has taken two teams to European cup finals (Inter Milan and Fulham), has beaten Juventus, Hamburg, Inter Milan, Celtic and Monaco in European competitions, has taken a national team (Switzerland) to the World Cup beating Italy along the way, took them through to the round of sixteen, and then the following year qualified for the Euros, and, has successfully managed two international no-hopers (UAE and Finland), turning them into decent footballing sides.
How many other English managers can boast any of this on their CV?
Im sure people will turn against him at the slightest thing looking wrong.
The press and fans are always the same.

Agreed and indeed the next England manager should be selected from the media as they can do no wrong in their opinion

How many other English managers can boast any of this on their CV?How does it compare with Capello’s?

He compares very favourably with Capello at being English
He compares very favourably with Capello at being EnglishI want an English manager, but the idiots running the FA gave Capello a four year contract extension just before the world cup. Can you imagine how much they’d have to shell out to pay him off? There’s no point spending millions to get rid of him only to then bring in a manager whose career highlights are the Swedish and Danish league titles.
I think it could be irrelevant anyway as I can’t see Hodgson leaving Fulham unless someone like Liverpool comes calling.How does it compare with Capello’s?As Griff highlighted, if he were English……
Capello won the nation league with four different clubs, however, considering they were Milan, Juve, Real Madrid and Roma, he’s never exactly had to work on a tight budget and construct a team out of nothing.
He’s never reached a European final, nor managed a national side before. He was sacked from Madrid for playing boring, uninspiring football. I’d say Hodgson’s pedigree suggests he has more potential to drag an underperforming team out of the doldrums.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying get rid of Capello, but if he went and an English manager were to brought in, I can’t see any further than Roy Hodgson.
