Capello gone
 

All i can say is im glad tho its two years to late

Cappello quits
 

England football team manager Fabio Cappello has quit his job after a meeting at Wembley with David Bernstein and Alex Horne

Re: Capello gone
 

he could have won england a tournament :confused: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory:confused:

Re: Capello gone
 

Can't say I'm upset about it, I think the FA should now appoint a temp English manager for the Championships in June.
I reckon Stuart Pearce will take over for now but he'll have to forget about managing the British team in the Olympics.

Re: Capello gone
 

Ciao fabio.I wont lose any sleep over it.

Re: Capello gone
 

Not that fussed, was optimistic when he took the job, But have been convinced he wasn't that interested n only took the job fer the dosh, England aint improved since his tenure, His command of english aint that great n hes had enough time to master that, I assume its cos of the Terry thing? Which fer me fer once the F.A. made the correct descision, n had to do so cos Capello hadn't the guts or the common sense to make.

Re: Capello gone
 

For the cash , cashy how dare you he was only on 8 million a year. Barely worth it really:D

Re: Capello gone
 

Well put..and I've got the same attitude.
I hope the FA don't rush to try and sign up a new manager for the long term....for me they can give the team coach driver the job temp as long as he is English.. we were going into the Euro Championship without much hope anyway so not much harm can be done.

Re: Capello gone
 

Well looking at the morning papers there's only one person up for the job and now that he's sorted out his little problem with HM Revenue and Customs, thats happy Harry at Spurs now the coasts is clear. Mind you the job of England head coach is the poison challis really Kevin Keegan was the Messiah until the press got stuck in, that's the only problem in this country we have the knack of put people up to knock um down and those who do the knocking are usually those who were failed sportsmen themselves, you can never win in England

Re: Capello gone
 

Although I agree with his stance on the Terry issue, I don't think that it is a bad idea that he has gone. I follow England in all international competitions; they have a large following in Canada. But, it is obvious that they under-perform ... even tho, at the last World Cup, their ineptitude was overshadowed by that of Italy and France. Harry seems to be the front runner for the job, but will he want it considering he has created a title contender at Spurs? Maybe Big Sam. He's English through and through. If the FA decides in their lack of wisdom to appoint a furriner, why not Wenger? He's likely to be out of a job come the end of the season. He knows football, and he speaks better English than 'Arry. Or Jose Mourinho? Knows football; he's young; speaks great English; familiar with the English game.

Re: Capello gone
 

Believe he's gone back to his old job as Postman Pat. :D:D

Re: Capello gone
 

Thing is though to me Eric i think his stance was wrong,cos any person in work who is accused of summat regarded as serious, The normal practice is to suspend em until the disciplinary hearing, Fact. So unless yeh don't regard football as a job? Then to me it should be the same principle.

Re: Capello gone
 

I get your point. But (always a but ain't there;)) for better or worse he was hired as the manager, and it seems he was ignored in the whole decision making process. And I don't like the idea of Terry being tried and convicted in the press, and by the FA before the trial even starts. Unfortuate that the trial was postponed, but that's the way it was. Terry is a helluva football player, and a great inspirational leader. I for one, hope he didn't do what he is accused of. I have the feeling that the powers that be at the FA are secretly keeping their fingers crossed that he is guilty. As of now ... he is innocent.

Re: Capello gone
 

Thats the crux of the matter to me, When Terry was accused/charged, immeidiatly Capello should have removed the captaincy from him, which was long before the postponement, job sorted, I have little time fer the F.A., but agree wi em on this, simply cos the manager fer whatever reason didn't do his job.

Re: Capello gone
 

Whatever ... I think we can agree that the whole thing is a dog's breakfast;) If this really is the age of communication, Capello and the FA seem not to have noticed.:D

Re: Capello gone
 

That we agree on 100%:D

Re: Capello gone
 

I don't think it even crossed Capello's mind about the John Terry subject and for me it showed his lack of interest in the job as manager..John Terry has not lost his job as a player for club or country and that is how it should be wether he is guilty or not.. but Capello should have made a move over Terry being the capitain simply because of the loss of respect behind the scence from other players in the England team and it may have even caused problems in selecting the team.

Re: Capello gone
 

To be honest if he'd have been totally innocent he wouldn't have been summoned to court Eric, whenever they show the match incident Terry's mouth is always blocked out so you can lip read what he's saying, I think, seeing JT is a very high profile player, if the DPP didn't think they had a good chance of a conviction they wouldn't have let the case go ahead

Re: Capello gone
 

He is presumed innocent and does not have to prove that - the other party (whoever it may be) has to prove that he is guilty.
However, someone in a position of authority, or a position where they are expected to set a good example, should be at least suspended from that position until everything is sorted out.
Personally, I think he should never have had the captaincy restored after the Wayne Bridge incident.

Re: Capello gone
 

Well it seems Rovers fans have a sense of humour, prior to the kickoff on Saturday they were chanting Keano for England:D

Re: Capello gone
 

If there was anything about him & he had any sense of decency John Terry would have stood down from the captaincy until such time as it is sorted & so avoided the situation altogether.

Re: Capello gone
 

With his track record I don't know why we was reinstalled after his prior discretion's, I mean Terry has always found it easy for courting the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the years, there's a lot in the statement Caesars wife....................

Re: Capello gone
 

I agree, but after porking a team mates wife "Any sense of decency" went right out the window.;)
