Shifty Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Now Capello has quit who should take over ?maybe on a temprorary basis??
Richard Chown Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England Manager. This follows a meeting involving FA Chairman David Bernstein, FA General Secretary Alex Horne and Fabio Capello at Wembley Stadium. The discussions focused on The FA Board’s decision to remove the England team captaincy from John Terry, and Fabio Capello’s response through an Italian broadcast interview. In a meeting for over an hour, Fabio’s resignation was accepted and he will leave the post of England Manager with immediate effect. Yet again England FA have handled this really well. Now, this gives the FA a bit of a headache before the Euro 2012 Championship. Fabio Capello had the best win percentage (67%) of any permanent England manager. Do the FA promote Stuart Pearce (current Under 21's Manager) to 1st team manager? Allow him to be manager until after Euro 2012. Then seek a new manager. Popular opinion says there is only really one man for the job and thats Harry Redknapp, do they wait until the season is finished to allow Redknapp to take over. or allow another foreign manager like Jose Mourinho? Unpopular. What's your opinion?
somersetspur Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 No Manager. No Captain. What a shambles the F.A.are. Just when Harry is proved innocent. Not looking good,for Spurs.
MOUNTAINEER Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 I think Harry Redknapp will do what is right for Harry, I would like a Manager who will do what is right for ENGLAND. We need a manager without personal baggage which leaves few to choose from, that could open the door for ALAN PARDEW who with less going for him from the Newcastle board than Harry gets from the Spurs board, has a record on a par to that of Harry if Premiership position is the measure for success. We are burdened with the FA hierarchy as their MISTAKES continue, we need a younger manager than Redknapp (64), Allardice (57) or Hodgson (64), Alan Pardew is 50 he has time to organise things and see the job completed before the MOT is due on the ZIMMER FRAME. The other vote posted above is mine for Alan Pardew.
Guest smashing pumpkin Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 i think melville benny would be a fantastic candidate for the job.
B Manning Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 How on earth can we even think of Harry when by his own admission he cannot spell, cannot write, has no idea what an e-mail is and is very disorganised.
bunty1 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 What an earth are you on about bernard? concentrate on "trying" to ref instead of slating possible future england managers
baldy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Let's put David Burstein or one of the other FA know-it-alls in charge. Then we can all have a good laugh. Innocent until proven guilty is a right worth fighting for and Copello has done just that. JT should not have been stripped of the captaincy the first time and they have done it to him again. The FA really are pathetic which goes a long way to showing why England have always been poor at major tournaments. Wouldn't give Clough the job (too scared), McClaren, what a joke appointment. Give the job to the man with the balls to do it. Stuart Pearce!

plumeboy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 How on earth can we even think of Harry when by his own admission he cannot spell, cannot write, has no idea what an e-mail is and is very disorganised. Sounds spurfect :thumbsup:
B Manning Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Sorry everybody, I forgot I was not allowed an opinion on this subject. To Dave Bunt1 those comments I made about Harry were his own words from his recent trial .
baldy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Pay a man £6m a year and then tell him how to do the job. Pathetic. Havn't the FA learnt anything since 1953.
DanBlazey Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Forget the win percentage, Capello was a poor manager, only marginally better than Sven Goran. The right thing has happened and there is only one man for the job in my opinion - Redknapp. But if I was Harry, I'd be staying with Spurs.
hammers Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 The FA were wrong in the way they handled the John Terry problem, Capello was Appointed Manager, they should have at least consulted with him before going over his head in sacking John Terry as England Captain, Why have a Manager if you are not going to allow him to manage, it's a case of the chairman making a name for himself,I think any future Manager of England should think hard before accepting the Job unless he has a guarrentee, that he will be allowed to do it without th FA interfering, Hammers :c:
Guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Wow, what a day. Harry is found not guilty and Capello resigns. I think we must congratulate the FA for their decision to accept Capello's resignation. This revolves around John Terry. Yes a man is innocent until proved guilty but what I am astounded to hear is that the courts stated that because of Euro 2012 they would put back the court case until after this. This has thrown everything up in the air and left the FA in a difficult position. Personally I felt Capello was the wrong man. The World Cup was a disgrace and he should have been sacked immediately thereafter. That was a mistake by the FA. Unfortunately Capello signed his own death warrant by appearing on Italian TV and criticising the FA over their decision to strip Terry of the captaincy. What Capello has never understood is the English mentality. He also failed to improve his knowledge of the English language. His record for England is poor and he did not have the backing of the fans. As far as Terry is concerned he is innocent until proven guilty. BUT!!!!! The FA with its record on anti racism were put in an intolerable position. Its not just being captain on the day but everything that goes with it off the field. This was their problem and I think they took the right decision. Harry is the outstanding choice but at 63 and having just had a heart operation, will he want the job and the pressures that go with it. There is talk of Jose Marino taking over. This would be a disaster. His antics on and off the field will not go down well with the FA and I think he is a non starter. So who else is there. There is no Englishman capable of taking on this job and we do not want a foreigner ever again. So I'm afraid it has to be Harry.
baldy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Th FA also launch a Respect campaign. Where is the respect for JT? Roy Hodgson is an experienced international manager. Can't see Martin O'Neill being prised from Sunderland. Jose wouldn't be offered the job for the same reasons they never gave it to Clough. The FA say they want the best man for the job. Don't believe them now and didn't believe them then.
Son Of Lineker Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Wow, what a day. Harry is found not guilty and Capello resigns. I think we must congratulate the FA for their decision to accept Capello's resignation. This revolves around John Terry.

There is no Englishman capable of taking on this job and we do not want a foreigner ever again. So I'm afraid it has to be Harry. For the sake of continuity and someone who knows the players Stuart Pearce makes sense,however with the Olympics coming up his focus is elsewhere and would it be right to ask someone to concentrate on two big tournaments in the space of two months. The answer is simple : There is a friendly arranged v Holland on the 29th Feb this is also an International rest week with no domestic games,offer this game to Redknapp on a one-off basis,then let him return to Spurs until the end of the season,mid May,after which on current form they will probably have qualified for the Champions League (Harry's already done this a couple of seasons ago so he shouldn't really have a problem with walking away from it this time). Now offer him the England job on a full-time 2 year contract (bearing in mind age & health problems) with the proviso of qualifying for Brazil 2014 after which if he feels able to continue fine if not..... Back to Euro 2012 , if Harry Redknapp is offered the job under circumstances I have mentioned previously by the time the tournament kicks off he will only have had 4 weeks with the England players (as everyone can appreciate not enough preparation time ). So my solution to this would be tell him that until after the Euro's he must keep the back room staff that are in situ at the moment ( Pearce,Clemence et all) thus helping to ensure a smooth transaction and more importantly for our chances of doing well.
baldy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Sorry S.O.L. but they have already announced that Stuart Pearce will take charge for the Holland game. How about Harry does the Olympics and Stu gets the England job?
Guest BenTheYeti Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 someone voted mike basset on the pole up the top , brilliant I weighed up the options and thought he'd be a cheaper option to Harry..
MOUNTAINEER Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 On MARCH 2nd 2012, Harry Redknapp will be 65 years old - He has not got a record of WINNING things at the TOP level, his success was in a devalued tournament The FA Cup, once upon a time it was worth winning but the top teams vying for a European place mainly play their reserve players. HARRY IS NOT THE MAN it is too late for him to learn how to win titles and tournaments, he FAILED badly in the Champions League AND the Europa League THIS SEASON. The FA have already indicated the wage structure for Capello was too high, whoever comes in will be on a much lower wage, I think Mr Levy will match anything the FA come up with and offer Harry a new contract at Spurs. The body language of Mr David Bernstein Chairman of the Football Association was not that of someone eager to see Harry Redknapp on board, in fact I think the F.A DO NOT WANT Harry Redknapp. Please F.A go for a manager in the 50 to 60 age bracket and mop up the next World Cup. I still don't rule out Alan Pardew, despite what he says.
S Abbo Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Fabio should of went after the world cup ! Harry Redknapp obvious choice, but wouldnt mind mourinio or wenger.
hoppit Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 It doesn't make much difference who is England's manager because he hasn't got the tools to do a good job. We only have 1 world class player and thats Joe Hart, Wayne Rooney is ok when the goings good but it rarely is with England. You can't make a silk purse from a pigs ear, only thing you get is pork scratchings and we've had that for years and years.
crystal hood Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Saw this and it cracked me up..........
Richard Chown Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Mountaineer, if age is such a issue should Alex Ferguson just retire from football now. Surely, it should be down to experience.
MOUNTAINEER Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Mountaineer, if age is such a issue should Alex Ferguson just retire from football now. Surely, it should be down to experience. Richard - Y E S There is no disputing Alex Ferguson's success however, the cracks have been showing for the past few years and I think the decline is beginning at Man U. Alex Ferguson has been the best manager ever and for a Scot that is an achievement that has done no favours for the rest of us, Scottish Football must be one of the worst in World Football but because of Alex's success it is fashionable to have English Football overloaded with Scots in a managerial role. WHY in England should it be a disadvantage to be English when applying to manage at the higher level. Everton for exampe have been in the doldrums for years yet Moyes still clings on to his job. I reached my 76th year this week, I am still useful in a footballing sense "AS A SPECTATOR". I can still give the referee and the opposition goalkeeper a piece of my mind. I was fortunate to be at Wembley when we last won the World Cup in 1966, I would like others to experience it, I think we need a younger team to build a future for our national team, for that you need time, so out with the old in with the young ones. This Bernstein geezer condemned the FA today when as LEADER of the FA he said he had been in football 20 years, what the hell is an old guy who never played the game at any level doing running our Football Association. A bloody shambles. We can't expect any better with BORING BROOKING bending his ear. There are better coaches on Hackney Marshes :clapper:
Nemesis Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 There is only one man that the players would respect due to his record... Jose ! Harry can't read or write unless it is bank statements from Monaco, Fergie is like the last bloke, no one likes him and he can't speak English. Wenger has won naff all for years, in fact the only other man with a stout English heart that players and fans would respect is Pearce. Face facts, we are not in the same league as Spain or Germany, may as well not bother going to Ukraine, we won't make it to Poland.
plumeboy Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Saw this and it cracked me up.......... Class :clapper:
Soccer Follower Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Just leave it with Stuart Pearce. Harry Rednapp is too old,maybe should have been offered it last time around.Also would you trust him with your last £10? Nice old boy but too much baggage,similar to Terry Venables.
crystal hood Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 This is the handwriting of Harry Redknapp who is supposedly illiterate!!!!! I think not

MOUNTAINEER Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 This is the handwriting of Harry Redknapp who is supposedly illiterate!!!!! I think not He hasn't put a X (kiss) on it. If he had someone may forge his signature :ninja:
Mangle Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 Hopefully Harry will not get the job. Hopefully whoever does will make sure Ferdinand will not be playing anymore. He is now rubbish. England need youngsters. Out with the old, in with the new.
Mangle Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 From the BBC Sport website: "Harry Redknapp believes Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes should be included in England's Euro 2012 squad". Great idea, put Chris Waddle out wide, with Beardsley and Lineker up front, Gordon Banks in goal, and hand the Captains armband back to Bobby Moore to stop all this fun-and-games about JT. Pardon, Bobby is dead........ Do we need any more evidence why Harry is NOT the best we can do. Let us build a team for the future. We will not win the Euro's this year. Fact. We are not good enough. Nowhere near it. Fact. Let us have a crack at the next big one, the World Cup. We have talent in this country, let us use it instead of letting it get away... The future of England is in the balance. We can choose Harry and not win anything for the foreseeable future, or start ti build and see what we can achieve.
Nemesis Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Harry has rejected the Job, he found out that he can't sell the players to make his dog happy.

Terry, Ferdinand , Gerrard , Barry , Milner, Bent etc not good enough for the euros never mind the world cup. A good young manager is a good idea such as Pardew or Shearer.
MOUNTAINEER Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 I was the only one who voted Alan Pardew, that was an age thing, we need an England management now who will still be around in ten years time. There are ex players around like Gareth Southgate, didn't do too bad at Boro on limited resources, Paul Ince always a battler, Tony Adams learning his trade on the continent etc. instead of paying one man 6 million, build a TEAM ENGLAND MANAGEMENT, we know OUR better players will be picked so it ends up being a motivational thing playing to a plan that suites those players picked to perform, they don't need coaching, if they did they shouldn't be in the England squad.
St Darren Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Can't be hard being England Manager really. Pick the best players in their positions. Have a mix of youth and experience Hart, Cole, Richards, Cahill, Dawson, Parker, Gerrard, Oxlaid-Chamberlain, Young, Rooney, Defoe In my opinion, 5 or 6 of those players would pick themselves, England don't seem to have much width, but that Oxlaid-Chamberlain looks pretty decent. Play 4-4-2 with Rooney dropping off as he does. Gerrard can play further forward than Parker. Gerrard would only play if he was fit enough though. For me, I hope he retires from International football so he can concentrate on Liverpool instead. International football is now second rate in comparison to the Champions League and club football anyway.

Spain Germany Holland etc still pretty keen on international football.
Mangle Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 BBC Sport website again................"Former Manchester United defender Gary Pallister believes Harry Redknapp is the only manager who could tempt Paul Scholes to play for England again". Another bleddy good reason to make sure he does not get the job!! :)
Mangle Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 Hopefully Harry will not get the job. Hopefully whoever does will make sure Ferdinand will not be playing anymore. He is now rubbish. England need youngsters. Out with the old, in with the new. Well done Roy :)
