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

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.

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?
― Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

Entertaining subplot - the FA will now have to negotiate with Levy, who is probably wetting himself with excitement at another opportunity to play hardman.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
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 for England would be Hodgson at Liverpool all over again. If he weren't likeable, it'd be compulsive viewing.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― pandemic, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
i doubt that england fans would hate him just because capello left, tbh
