The Special One has ruled himself out of the England job. Will England suffer without guidance from Mourinho or is Capello the man to steer England to success?
Many will argue that Capello's tactics are negative. Is it better to win games than play exciting football? Rating :

I would hope to still see your positive comments on him 6 months from now. Like I said before, Mourinho wouldn't be that dumb to take on the job. I don't see Fabio is better than Sven as well. That poor guy (Fabio) has alot to do now...think it's important for us and the press to leave him alone to carry out his job and do not put too much pressure and expectation on him and the players.

The problem is the english game has too much pressure from the nosey press, unrealistic expectations and unmotivated players. It's not surprising that mourinho didn't want the job cos it's too risky for his blossoming career.. Capello is definately one of the best managers out there but only time will tell if he is the right one cos the english game has no respect for even the most glorious people of continental football
Good points: motivated, experienced in winning titles, pushes players to the limits, handled great teams before, Bad points: new to english game, language barrier, not an englishman, fiery temper might cause trouble with players and club managers, 'catenaccio'/defensive style of play, kinda a mercenary (worked for clubs he swore never to work for) Another thing is because every coach from the serie A has an obsession to tilt to the defensive style of play, i hope Cappello would be less cautious and only use it when the need arises No doubt the remedy for the english game is motivation.. (something capello is has tons..) but how much he can change depends on how much cooperation he gets from the english game....and the press For me i'd just sit back and enjoy the show... i'd really like to see how his 'win-at-all-cost' attitude fit into the english team Rating :

i think capello dropping beckham was absolute genius! beckham was playing lousy football, not putting any effort in and needed a kick up the backside. and look what happened beckham had the strength of character to work his backside off to get back into the team and forced capello to pick him again. i think that is great management if it is used with the right players.
capello will come in and give the england players the rollocking they need, no more nice managers who agree with everything our pampered players ay say. we need a strong manager. our team has had many individually brilliant player but could never play well together, i think capello will ignore reputations and find a good balance for the team, if that means dropping star names then so be it. however £6.5 million a year is too much!! not even club managers get that and they have to manage 50-60 games a year, excluding championship year capello will have to manage maybe 7-8 games a year. too much. but if he brings us success then it will be fair enough. a good move by the FA for once. and good luck to capello!! we should support him fully. remember this is a man who has won european cups, seria 1 titles and la liga titles, he's no joker who used to manage middlesborough and once lost in the final of the UEFA cup. this man is an actual winner and will bring that out in his players.

I agree. He needed re-motivating and it worked a treat. We need a no-nonsense manager, he has shown that he wants the job which is a lot more than the less experienced and not as good "English" who ruled themselves out of managing their home nation, who cares about nationality if it brings success.

yeah i agree - how the $%^& did mcclaren get the england job in the first place????? He had no experience he was only the 2nd man at man united and got stuffed in the UEFA final - no wonder he never got us to euro 2008. Capello has international experience and has actually won things so maybe capello will take England all the way to glory and about time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think either Capello or Mourinho can be the man for England squad. It is a shame that some people think that the foreign Managers can be biaised towards their own countries hence not giving all to the England squad. I think this is ludicrous. Let them bring what they have then we start criticising their tactics. As for Mourinho i thought he would be great since he has been working with England squad in terms of him being in the premiership and having games with some of the players from various teams. He would know how to reshuffle the Eng. team if wants to. My opinion I think there is a lot of people in this Eng. squad who need resting like Michael Owen. No offense to the lad but how many times does he have to break his legs. I think David is still the man and should play for Eng, The lad lost self esteem during the Rebecca Loos saga. I noticed it as well and i was infuriated like many Beck's fans that he was not performing to his best standards. Now no nonsense and i think he is back for it now. Whatever history Becks and Capello have it doesn't matter now. He should give David a chance. Another player is Jaime Carragher. He should be given chance as well cuz he never got to do so with Macca's strategy. Bring him back. i was yearning for Sean Wright-Phillips to play for Eng. as well. The dude is amazing. He plays to win and you can see the way he is so powerful and relentlessly trying to score or creating chances.

I would go a little bit further and say Capello needs to use a different set of players because lets face it the players were as much to blame as McLaren they should no fight no passion for the shirt i am sure there are so younger one's who will show these qualities.

The right man for the job I say. If he is successful no one will care whether is is Italian or not. The time has come for us to unite & rally around the team & manager. As a football mad nation we have endured failure for far too long. Capello deserves all the support he can get & the players should show more pride when wearing an England shirt. It's sad when players shows more commitment to their clubs than to the national team.
With regards to pay, if you want quality you have to pay for it. Again, if England was to win the next W.C or a European cup the 6 million a year would be worth it. Rating :

if you're commanding a team.. (be it in football or anything else) you don't care about your subordinates egos when he's beginning to outlive his usefulness.. you care about results, pleasing the board and fans and most importantly earning the respect to command the team itself.. (well..capello didn't manage to convince the fans at madrid tho)
ferguson didn't give a rats ass when he kicked him out.. he chose to maintain his undisputed control of the team.. neither did he when he kicked nistelrooy either.. in fact it paved way to the better team we see now.. and so he goes around still warming the hot seat and freely terrorizing the changing room at half time till today.. similarly in madrid.. capello was flushing out the grossly overpaid, overrated, over-the-hill stars cos they weren't working effectively as a team anymore.. Isn't madrid is anyway back to it's old winning ways.. topping the la liga today with new team that can live up to the challenge for a couple more years?. dream team as they were.. the stars were all in decline including becks.. not enough to ensure constant wins with so many teams out there so eager to defeat such a illustrious team Btw..man utd always got the best out of becks when he's under pressure.. so cappello did the same to the whole team.. i think becks place in the current madrid team wouldn't be guaranteed if he continued to stay anyway.. people get so caught up with star players they forgot that the true value of the player is how he affects the team rather than his individual skills and to me madrid didn't lose everything by losing him ( they already made their profit).. what was more important is that he was made to deliver the goods at that critical point of the title challenge Don't get me wrong..i'm still out there about Cappello's appointment.. whether he's the right man for the job boils down to wheter he meets the demands and expectations of the situation and the people.. i sincerely hope he will be more tactful in handling this job cos he can't replace players freely unlike club level football.. Sadly i won't bet my life savings that england will win the next world cup.. all i can say is with so much dissapointment going on who knows if we found ourselves the remedy? Rating :

It worked daft lad!!!!! It's called negative psychology, ppl use it on their kids all the time and let's face it Beckham has only got the mentality of a kid...after he was told that he got upset and then he had a point to prove. He got fit and found some good form at the end of the season.
Sexy v winning? like there's a choice of our 2 great styles....we don't do either at the moment. Brazil are always gonna be the sexiest team in the world and spain aren't far behind but they both don't do as well as they should for lack of discipline. Doing the easy things well. France and Italy were the last WC finalists 'cos they controlled the ball and the game from the back to the front - not very sexy compared to 4 attacking midfielders + 2 strikers + 2 attacking wingbacks (Brazil & Spain). Sexy no, successful yes...let's face it they don't play too badly in front of goal either....they're just more patient. I think the English style of football could certainly improve by being more patient. Rating :

I really think Capello is the man to look forward for for England success. Lets look at it the man has tactics, confidence and a history of success. Just imagine a season in Madrid and winning the Liga tittle after more than 3 years. I think we should all encourage this man to take the home team of the best league in the world to the top.

Capello COULD be the best manager in the world,but if he was manager of Fulham would they win the premiership-Think about it! Not bad though eh, £6.5m a year to tell his fellow Italians how to beat the English.A could have done that for free! Infact Ad give him a £20m bonus NOT to win the world cup!
And why was the Croatia manager never considered 4 the job? Maybe it was the language barrier, or maybe he turned them down after seeing how much potential ISNT there! There are NONE topclass English Managers ANYWHERE, NO English players are stars in top european leagues outside the premiership, Probably 80% of the premierships players are Foreign and CARRY their English team mates week-in week-out,A selection of English players REFUSE to even play for their country, English clubs have paid overinflated prices to eachother for years to glamorize the Premiership and have become caught up in their own fantasy ego-filled land!! Do those sound like facts about potential WorldCup winners? ...Thought not! It baffles me where the expectation comes from. They call themselves lionhearted and passionate! Av seen more passion on the sole of ma shoe!! perhaps they,re still living in fantasy land watching their black an white telle,s It seems England are the only country on this planet who doesnt know the 1966 WorldCup was fixed 4them to win on home soil -FACT- Its a shame U,s cant just buy the cup again,then U,s would save a few bob on that old guy with specs.NO not Sven that other one who cant speak English either!!! |

in terns of goals scored in their respective leagues the English and Italians have generally finish 2nd or 3rd in their respective leagues always behind the Spanish. So that the idea that English football is more attacking is a bit of a fantasy really. What is more interesting is that the main scorers of the goals in England tend to be foreigners the highest placed englishman last year was Darren Bent and the year before that Rooney at 24th and 55th place on the european tables respectively. Whereas in Italy the highest league goal scorers are Italians,that generally finish in the top ten of european goal scorers. So it can be seen that the English national team can only draw on pretty shallow goal scoring talent whereas the Italians actually get to enlist proven goal scorers.
So it seems to me it really is not the Italians that have a problem with producing attacking goal scoring football. Take away the foreign players and the premiere league is a bunch of cloggers Rating :

I think the there is still a great misconception in England about italian style of play. It is virtually a thing of the past. Sacchi changed italian football forever. Lippi, Ancelotti and Mancini have got nothing to do with defensive football.Of course good defenses are a tradition of italian football... but catenaccio (wich as italian I hated al lot) is another thing all togheter. Capello is not the most offensive type of the lot, but is a great psycologist, tactician and he is in charge of the dressing room.

Let's leave the man alone and let him do his job. If he has English Backroom Staff,then maybe Capello will be able to groom them for future England management.

england should NEVER have taken ANY foreign manager on for this job. We are the laughing stock of world football. any success will DEFINITELY be tainted. Basically we should have roughed it out, this would have forced the F.A. into having to develop english coaches and the english technical game as a whole. Italy, France, Brasil, Spain(with even less success than us) and even Germany(with more success than us,and a more open minded country) who have had the trophies in the past but are now not up to much would not even entertain the idea of a foreign manager. They were forward thinking in bringing a big name young klinsmann into the job, they knew they had no good managers so they went with enthusiasm and desire, what do we do, we go for outside influences, the quick fix. SHAME ON THE F.A.
We are not russia, south korea, we are england, my choice would have been Curbishley, but he probably dont want it with the way we treat our national managers. Rating :

Gentlemen... I am a BIG fan of English football. That said, I am afraid that the English, at least for the time being, have a lack of two things they were good at before: managers and goalkeepers. Yes, it is a bit humiliating for you that the manager is not English, but would you really have NO OTHER OPTION. Quit the pride, place someone like Shearer or Pearce to LEARN the trade, and then you may have some quality national managers... but they must LEARN first. By they by, Capello has a marvelous goalkeepers assistant coach... which is MUCH needed by your team.

'Poor' is not a word that should ever be used to describe Capello. He'd better win both the World Cup and Euros (2012) for the ridiculous salary the FA are paying him. That said, will all the 'little Englanders' and xenophobes shut up about how it should have been an English coach. There's no one of any class out there. All the so called candidates mentioned should have done it at club level first, i.e. won lots of honours including league titles and Euro trophies, not just kept a club in the Premier League for a few seasons and mixed it up with the big clubs, a la Redknapp at Portsmouth. Stuart Pearce was sacked at Man City because of poor results and nothing more. We've just got rid of a mediocre English coach - so lets all move on. Similarly, there is no need for Capello to appoint an English coach on his staff which is totally pointless unless he is to succeed the Italian. As we well know, English successors to foreign coaches doesn't work for the reasons already mentioned. Get real!

Capello is on a beating to nothing! The only people who regard England as being anything more than an average team are their fans (when they are not breaking up a city!). NO English manager has ever done justice to 'The Beautiful Game', not even Ralph Ramsey! Maybe, at last, the 'penny has dropped' at last that the winners of big tournaments are 'foreign', more times than not. Employ an Italian and it might rub off! Maybe, maybe not! The Jury are still out on this one!

Is he, is he not? The fact is that England just contracted one of the best manager in the planet. An old italian proverb tells of a squirrel talking to a nut, and saying: "give me time and I will find a way to break you". Do not worry about the press, they will other try to be his friend or they will have hard time with him. Professionally, wait for the players to comment and do not judge him on his first match, he is a long term kind of guy!

Can you tell me where the FA was supposed to go and pick the next england manager? Maybe Rednapp? Ok, on what basis? wasn't Maclaren english? What had he won before taking on the job? Maybe is time to tealise that 1966 is decades far back and you can' live of heritage forever.

No!
We need an English manager to manage an England team. If not then if we ever do win something it will quickly be pointed out that it was only due to a foreign manager. Don't ask me where to find one though, but do we really want a manager endorsed by a Scotsman, a Frenchman and a (failed) Swede. They all want their own countries to be beaten by a resurgent England do they????? Also do we want a manager from a country and club whose football league has been so involved in corruption in recent times? Come on. Someone out there must be able to do the job properly. Rating :
