Capello resigns.

If they do, I hope it doesn't rain.

Ooooh he's holding an umbrella! What a pragmatic bender!

Harry is the best man for the job simply because the England squad is made up of a bunch of fuckwits who can relate to a wideboy like Redknapp.

They don't need discipline or a master tactican, they just need some bloke to be their pal and tell 'em to get stuck in. Blood and thunder, 3 lions on the shirt. Oh yes.

I want Redknapp to be England manager just so it means he leaves Tottenham. Their revival is getting annoying and with Redknapp leaving they'll probably bring in another moron like One-day Ramos.

With Venables as his assistant and both driven to work by Paul Merson...

if harry gets the job rosie could be the mascot and lead the team out she might poo on the pitch though.

let us be honest: Capello knew sweet FA about English football

[Letters]

I wish the FA would put in an English manager who knows how to motivate English players, getting them to perform to the level they should be capable of.

Oh - looks like they will.

Yeah, someone with a bit of English passion like Keggy Keegle

Fact is, they are performing at the level they're capable of.
Headline for you: ENGLAND AREN'T THAT GOOD AT FOOTBALL.

Capello is a FAR better manager with a FAR better pedigree than 'Arry (who I'm not saying is incompetent, but he's not at that level). Ideally I would like the England manager to be English but please don't think a good English manager is going to do any better than a good foreign one. We've had plenty of England managers down the years, most of whom have had good club records which is why they were picked. We've failed repeatedly. Why? 'Cos basically, we're not that great.

'Arry has done well at Spurs but he inherited a good squad which was massively under-performing and he supplemented it with good signings. Neither will be true at England level.

In brief: I hope 'Arry gets the job because it will hopefully derail the Spuds and it'll shut the press up (and you, apparently) and about having an English manager when we fail again. And we will. At which stage we'll have the press writing all kinds of abuse about 'Arry and lauding the next English manager as who we need to turn things around and round and round the merry-go-round we go.

Yeah, very well said indeed.

I do want him in charge but only because the spuds might well appoint a complete moron that'll set them back.

There is always a tendency for a collective group think in football where assumptions are made by a few and adopted by many others. This must explain why Capello, win ratio of 67% and all, is being described as though he was a failure and a bad manager, a bad man, even.

If it wasn't such a hoary old meme, I'd say "nail on head" right now.
