Who do you want to replace Capello as England manager?

[parisvilla]

Capello has managed Milan, Real Madrid, Milan again, Roma, Juventus, Real Madrid again and then England. He won 7 Scudettos, a Champions League trophy, 2 La Ligas etc.

Roy Hodgson has won stuff in the Swedish and the Danish league, and nothing else, and he is hired for probably the most difficult job in football.

Got a job too big for him at Liverpool, and he failed like everyone in the world anticipated. And now the ENGLAND job? Wow, someone is **** with him bigtime. You know, except the huge payoff package he is getting in 12 months.

His 'failure' at Liverpool is no worse than the shambles they have become under Krap Kenny. £130m spent and could finish below WBA

He inherited a team that came an unimpressive 7th under Fat Rafa, Torres wanted out and he had to work under those joke owners. Was a crap job for him to take.

BTW, look at the managers of Italy, Germany & Holland.

[MrDuck]

Hysterical.

So you sack one of the toughest guys in the business in Capello, and then hire Roy Hodgson who was fired from Liverpool one year ago? The guy who was hunted out like a witch from Anfield. The guy who at the prime of his career manages the mighty West Bromwich Albion? He has very few honours to brag about in his career, mostly league titles in Scandicavia.

This is a disaster waiting to happen, and he will probably be without a job in year. As per usual with England.

Yet even so, he'll be going some to do a worse job that Capello did at the World Cup.

Capello is Italian.

Hodgson is English.

So I do not care what Capello has won.

What an embarrassing front page from The Sun

Why? It's affectionate if anything.

But you should care about what Redknapp has won*

*Yes I know he hasn't won much, but he has a better record than Hodgson imo.

I wike it. I agwee with Wev, it's affwectionate. As I said befwore, I like the appointment based pwurly on Woy's vwoice - it's vewy endewing wand wy wikw wit wewy wewy wuch twhw w

I'm pretty sure they are taking the piss out of him.

The sun wanted their star columnist to get the job.

[thetrees]

Perhaps it is 'affectionate', but it also opens the door for much ridicule if results don't go England's way.

No doubt, when the first black England manager is appointed, 'The Sun' will have an 'affectionate' front page in patois.

The indignation of the printed media over this appointment is quite outrageous. Despite the fact that I am one of the (apparently) few VTers who likes Harry, I think that Roy is a much better fit for the job.

Taking the piss out of someone's speech impediment aint nice.

That front page has made me cringe.

Embarrassing.

A few points,

1. Capello wasn't sacked

2. What happened at Liverpool is hardly a reflection on him, more a reflection on the state of the club at the time, the idiots running it and their fans stupid desire for Dalglish

3. A man who has also managed 3 international sides, has experience in this country and managing in Europe and who has managed Inter Milan.

4. Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson were managing Ipswich when given the England job.

5. How many honours has Redknapp won in his managerial career?

6. How many England managers have been in post for less than a year? One Kevin Keegan.

Other than those minor things, top post. :winkold:

Agreed but entirely on form for those scumbags.

Am happy for Roy he was unfairly and disgustingly treated by Liverpool and their so called "great" fans.

He deserves the job and is better candidate than Arry. Hodgson knows more tactically and about European game than Redknapp does. Id say he would know more about Sweden and Ukraine teams than Arry would. England wont be exciting team but will be hard to beat.

Hopefully he drops Gerrard and Johnson and any Liverpool players from his team

[mjmooney]

The biggest problem RH is going to have with his players is the language barrier.

I'll bet his Swiss, Italian, etc. squads spoke better English than the morons who play for England.

As the youth of today would say...

Pwned!

[Chindie]

I think the biggest thing Roy needs to do is create a clean break with the England squad. He needs to ditch the old guard wholesale. They're going to be of little use to him for the next World Cup, and they have an influence that could be the end of him. In some cases there will be an obvious overlap, Rooney and the like, but he needs rid of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry and co. They have too much sway and if they don't like him, they will make life hard for him. Capello found that out - excellent in qualifying but the moment he insists on things they dislike at the tournament, they can't be arsed.

So he shouldn't give them the opportunity.

This.

no one expected England to do any good in Euro2012, so kick out the old players and give youth a chance.

Everything that the FA and England manager do from this moment should be geared to making it to the last 4 of World Cup 2018. Any success in between should be treated as a bonus, and any failure should be treated as no disaster.
