Come anticipate Fabio Capello's two years as England manager with me

"Yeah, we went out in the groups but I only had the players for three weeks, it's a miracle we got that goal. We had not scored in a major competition for two years when I got the job, you have to remember that," said Sir 'arry Redknapp on his triumphant return to Heathrow.

loooooooooool if he quit over terry and terry is declared guilty, capello is gonna look like a total prick

my bet is stuart pearce will take over for the summer and then jose will take the job when he leaves madrid

didn't hiddick manage russia during his spell at chelsea? and he did pretty well - harry could easily do something similar if asked, especially considering he already works in the country and sees more english football upfront every week/has members of the squad already at training and so on. would totally piss off his own english players if he doesnt choose them though, and the rest of the country if he does but not on merit.

Can we get a "RIP Big Man" or some other Passantinoism up in this area over the death of this Anglo-Italian partnership?

nah but seriously: lol england

if he quit over terry and terry is declared guilty, capello is gonna look like a total prick

ehh not really, in that event I imagine he'd fall back on the *principle*

if it was a case of him chucking away a golden chance for one real bit of glory in his career then fair enough but...

Most depressing thing I've learned is that Rooney's still favourite to be England's leading scorer

deems who do you want to replace 'arry? Jol? Mourinho? Benitez? O'Neill? Pardew?

Welcome Fabio Capello, @TheNYCosmos' 40th Director of Soccer!

Rogers would be a good shout imo. Or Pozzo at Udinese, as he is doing exactly the same as 'Arry atm with a lot less means (terrific talent scout, knows how to work w/ homegrown, gets the best out of youngsters; making Udinese look like a top 4 team each year. Looking like a top 4 team this year is especially looking special considering Udi had to sell their best two players.)

Shearer could do it. In England's hour of need. One big, happy tent. I can't believe this wasn't the first thing I thought.

the whole episode is so stupid and p hilair given that the identity of the captain is p arbitrary and unimportant in proper fitba teams

capellos stance at least upholds the presumption of innocence, removing the captaincy is the sort of craven pussyfooting the fa specialize in, shd either be a suspension pending investigation or treated as he had been hitherto

the fa wd rather let the remedial and now resentful cunt foment divisions in the squad a la holland 1996 than take the fury of the volkist press by suspending him

there's no way Terry wont make the squad is there?

He's not going to pull out especially with the court case afterwards and he'd fear those actions would be like an admission of guilt. Even though everythings allover youtube anyway..

they cld lean on the next manager to drop him

his form isnt great so it can be dressed up as a footballistic decision

Guus Hiddink is trending topic w/r/t this

Yes, it is true folks. I've already been offered the England job. I've turned it down. This one seems easier.

oxymoron alert. gazza wants "an English manager, someone who knows what they're doing."

like the FA, run by English men, people who know what they're doing.

gazza is just a moron alert

we want team spirit, none of this bickering

there's no way it wont be redknapp. Though id assume pearce to end of season as interim manager and 'arry taking over at end of season.

Has the FA suspended a player from the England squad before? Is it something they can do?

so how does this go at the FA? "ok we've had a cerebral tactician as manager and seen him off, let's ditch tactics and get some gung ho team spirit back in the dressing room"

or something more or less ludicrous.

capello's acted marginally boneheadedly before tonight but the best result was the FA being called out. it looks as though they are trying to outdo the RFU for sheer dunderheaded twattishness.

The FA, though - is there a single example of them being competent?

In 2002 Terry was involved in an incident at a West London nightclub with Chelsea team mate Jody Morris and Wimbledon's Des Byrne. He was charged with assault and affray, but later cleared.[18] During the affair, he was given a temporary ban from the England national side by the FA.

beautiful

Has the FA suspended a player from the England squad before? Is it something they can do?

nah but seriously: lol england

^^ this x 1000.

yah same as with bowyer woodgate and same as it would be now for kids or fringe players

btw Does this mean the FA is apologetic of racism and feels the strong need to back up people that are cunts? There's be dancing of all English cunts in the streets tonight, surely.

There'll

lol

hahaha

Hmm, maybe he was banned from the U21s at the time of the nightclub incident because he didn't get his first cap until 2003.

(I was moved to look that up because I was mildly nauseated at the idea of a whole decade slipping by, JT an England international for all of it).

The FA were right to strip Terry of the captaincy. Capello had been desperate to get out for ages, we all know he doesn't care about the captaincy that much.

otm

they suggested this on Monday's Guardian Football Weekly podcast

p sure this was an actual resignation fwiw

Entertaining subplot - the FA will now have to negotiate with Levy, who is probably wetting himself with excitement at another opportunity to play hardman.

srsly levy has bought a silk glove and a jar of vaseline and is sitting naked in a dark room beside a gold phone

All true. Well done the FA for handing him the opportunity.

that was gonna happen this summer anyway

why anyone would want the england job i have no idea. at least at madrid it is crazy landscape + an awesome set of players you can change if you want. at england it is just crazy.

still think my suggestion of rafa is otm in that he is the funniest troll of the english press, unemployed and knows his way around cup competitions.

Was an xp about Capello, not that lovely image.

Rafa wouldn't be a bad choice. He also wouldn't give a toss about the vilification.

But I've a sneaking suspicion we might get Hodgson For England after all.

proper candidates:

Redknapp- but they're gonna hate it, and levy will force them to give us wembley or s/t

Pardew- nah

Pearce- nah

Mourinho- too soon for int'l management imo

Hiddink- too foreign

?

hodgson! One for the lfc cru.

Allardyce?

Hodgson for England would be Hodgson at Liverpool all over again. If he weren't likeable, it'd be compulsive viewing.

Hodgson and England deserve each other, this is true.

Although iirc Hodgson said from now on he would only take a job where the majority of fan opinion was favourable towards him at the start which considering the whole Arry for England thing seems unlikely.
