Just seen breaking news that cappelo is to resign. 

Come in Mr Redknapp your time has come.

I'm looking to move back down south.

I'll do it.

No great surprise.

Gone.  All yours Rich...

I would say i'm happy but it'll probably be Harry Redknapp coming in. Oh joy. Reckon the FA should try and lure Jose from Madrid.

no great loss there is it.

Surely would have been better to wait until after the Euros? Not many managers will want to take over without much time to prepare for a tournament as they know they will be slated

I think it'll be internal at the FA and as an interim.

Pearce? Southgate?

...but seriously, I'll do it.

I personally think Capello has been totally fucked over by the FA.

I have no problem with Terry losing the armband, it seemed to me the FA did so without properly consulting with Capello.

He's also a good manager. As whoever takes over next the job is a poisoned chalice thanks to the UK media.

I wouldn't be surprised if the suits did this in order to get rid of FC.

I thought he should resigned after that shambles in South Africa in 2010 but there you go. He had a good track record but failed to deliver.

I reckon it'll be Pearce until the season's over. Hopefully he'll be tasked with bringing through some youngsters who will be first-teamers come Brazil in 2 years.

Well Cappelo made it clear that he was keeping Terry as captain.........that isn't right(in my view) and to be honest for once i applaud the FA on there stance on Terry.
To be honest it will be good to get a new manager,with a new captain,so the politics between the FA and Cappelo isnt a real bug bear to me.

This - in fact I tried posting something veru similar to this to the other thread but it got deleted before I hit "post"

Paul Hart, end of season saviour.

Imagine Harry will do it on a part time basis until Spurs season is over and then go full time.

There are no other genuine candidates

alan pardew for england.

Paolo?

What's Paul Hart up to?

I'm currently writing my letter of application.

Gonna quote my matchday thread starting as a reason.

Good news

I've never felt so indifferent about the national team as now, South Africa was a disgrace. Let's hope to have a new manager now with the guts to tell the prima donna cunts to pull their weight or do one. After all we have plenty to choose from.....

Doh!

You'd fit in well. Superb in qualifying (League) but indifferent when it matters (FA Cup).

To clarify, the FA cup clearly doesn't matter.

Jeremy Wray, if you are reading this, offer this man a new contract now!

I unlike most managers it seems would be very happy to continue both jobs full time.

I would like to confirm if offered the england managers job it would remain very much second place to my matchday thread job.

:clap: :clap:            :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Don't matter who comes in, you can't turn a bunch of overpaid prima donnas into world beaters

With any luck, whomever comes in won't play them.

Not gonna happen though.

Pearce's odds have collapsed. Initially 20/1 but now as low as 8/1 on some sites.

Does beg the question, would Harry be happy doing a job where there's very little day to day activities?

Or where he can't splash the cash to sign players?

The players are the main problem with England, and have been for the last 10 years or so. The FA have handled this incredibly badly, they are a joke of an organisation. This season they have made so many mistakes (including upholding Robert Huth's suspension yesterday/Barton's red the other week among the many), the whole organisation needs a complete overhaul, with all the main men being ousted.

If Pearce gets the job it'll be a fucking nightmare. He has never been a good manager. Useless.

How would Harry earn commission on transfers if he is England manager?

I would rather someone younger was given the job with a brief to bring through the next generation - let's actually plan a few years ahead.

Has Pearce ever managed anybody?


*edit....  Oh yeah, he has..... Never mind

Pearce has Team GB commitments.

I'd like an internal appointment like Brian Eastwick... If only for the media and fan reaction.

Let him do both jobs, it's easily doable

Stuart Pearce :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

My letter of application is ready to be printed and posted.

The search ends here!

Pretty sure he'd drop them like a stone given half a chance.

Im liking Vic Morgans managerial merry go round theory

Harry to England
Capello to Madrid
Jose to Spurs

Nail. head. this etc etc.

If 'arry takes over and clears out all the dead wood, I think the country woukld be right behind him, and I might be able to get the feelings back for an England team that I had around the time of Gazza, sheaer, linekar, pearce penalties etc.

Stuart Pearce will be named the new England coach tomorrow. An F.A. source has refused to comment on how they made their rushed decision.

I wouldnt stress about the Euros, we will barely scrape through the group, with or without Cappello...consier the Euros as a write off...at best, if we get a bold manager in, they should be used purely to blood some youngsters....

Paolo has turned down the job because he said the FA have been picking on him in recent weeks and more than that he has unfinished business at Swindon with his plaaaaayers.

Capello has been shite for England, his man management has been atrocious, I actually agree with the way he's handled the latest Terry scenario but the way he's handled certain things like letting ITV know he wasn't going to pick Beckham anymore without even calling him to tell him...and stripping Terry the first time and then going back on his decision. He doesn't know if he's coming or going half the time, i'm glad it's finally going or gone.

The FA have handled this shite though. He should have gone after South Africa.  A team of english non league players would have faired better againt Algeria than our so called top players did, it's painful remembering it. Oh and then there was the USA game. A 7 year old retarded kid playing football manager could see that Rooney should have been playing up top and that Joe Hart was our best option for goalkeeper.

Good riddance.

Psycho's the man in the short term.

Let's face it, the existing squad is...somewhat shit.

Pearce has had plently of international experience with the under 21's and I think a lot of fans share my view that we should probably forget about a large percentaqe of the "old guard" and start a process of rebuilding. That can only happen by playing the youngsters in full internationals and helping them to blossom.

As Ardiles stated in the six nations thread with regard to England, we'll probably win fuck all in the next few competitions. So nothing will change there then but maybe, just maybe, in 5 or 10 years time, we might win an international trophy.

For what it's woth however, I do agree with Capello's statement about the English law and the premise of innocence until guilt is proven. However, I never though Capello was the man for the job and quite franky, he can go and fuck himself up the arse with a watermelon...

Who wants an Italian manager anyway ;)

Got to get another foreigner . . .

What's Malpas doing these days?  :hmmm:

Its no real loss, is it? we were going to do fuck all anyway and if it hastens that hateful cunt Terry out the door then even better. Give it to Alan Curbishley to caretaker us over the tournament with a brief to pick the youngsters and then fuck off after the tournamament. He's got no axe to grind with anyone and has no baggage.

Couldn't agree more. The FA are pathetic, especially with their judge, jury and executioner role throughout the game. If you appeal you get it increased for having the gall to question those that shall not be questioned, which is fucking absurd.

I couldn't give a flying fuck about England or Capello to be honest (a result of the FA I suppose) I just despise their attempts at policing the game.

This John Terry, guilty or not guilty, ain't half a bloomin' nuisance.

We've tried managers who are tacticians (Eriksson and Capello) and it's not exactly worked out so why not go with Pearce for some passion. Not that it worked with Keegan...

Whilst lacking in tact, Capello can do very little about the Englishmans overstated sense of self-importance, or a generation of players unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions.

Had he stayed, I can see us fairing well in the Euro's. He'd learned from the world cup, and re-assembled the squad accordingly. We didn't play with as much attacking flair, but we became much harder to break down and beat as a result. We wouldn't have set the tournament alight, but I feel we'd have definitely snuck into the knock-outs.

The English public and media never truely warmed to him though, and vice-versa, so it's not massively surprising it's ended in acrimony.

Not sure how the redknap appointment would work out. His management style is purely about transfers and motivation. Transfers are obviously useless at international level, but judging by how he's turned spurs around despite playing a very simple game, he could just be the man to give England belief and confidence back again.

Capello looked too much like Tommy Cooper for my liking   :smugfu:

Arsene-he loves English players.

After Sven the clamour was for an English manager & we got Steve McClaren.

An whilst Sven's team didn't exactly set the world alight (reaching the Quarter-Finals in all three tournaments), McClaren's team didn't even qualify for Euro 2008.

The worry is that the press will start some kind of campaign that we should must have an English manager again, and not the best man available.

I fully expect the FA to announce Sepp Blatter as Englands next manager !

Knowing the FA it will be steve bruce

Guus Hiddink could be the man to do the job in the short term before Harry steps in to take us to glory in Brazil.

Steve Kean-Cult Hero!

Capello was crap IMO and should have walked after the World Cup...I don't like how this has been handled though, can see Stuart Pearce taking over for Euros!

Its been rumored Mourinho wants out of Madrid at the end of the season and wants to come back to England.

Its practically writes itself.

Dennis Wise......

Actually, what has happened to that short arsed little cunt? Seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth...Shame that....
Still at Newcastle?

thankfully not

Apparently Paddy Power have just taken a bet of £189000 from a dog called Rosie on dodgy 'Arry being the next England manager.

Potentially take one of their players = yellow meltdown
Give them one of our players = yellow meltdown

We can't lose  ;D

Wrong thread perhaps?

Oh yeah

Copy..... Paste

Couldn't give a shit that the overpaid italian has gone,did absolutely fuck all good whatsoever. Nothing would change under Redknapp if he gets the job. The same tried and failed players would be selected and results would be like they have been for years. I Think he'd be stupid to take it aswell as he has a job to do at spurs.

The England Managers job is a poisoned Chalice. As much as i would love to see Redknapp as England Manager with an FA that would undermine his authority & an English Media that would trash the bloke across the tabloids when results didn't go our way i think Redknapp is better off at Tottenham.

The whole FA / England set up is rotten to the core with the exception of Stuart Pearce

I expect the next England appointment to be a nodding dog to the FA

If Redknapp turns it down then it will be Pearce.

I think the job is 'Arrys if he wants it, I personally feel its too early for Pearce to get the job though, but he may benefit with getting a good assistant if he does get it.

Not forgeting the little heart scare recently.

I believe the argument is simply that different skills are more important at club and national level.

Arry's strength is man management, and bringing a team together. When you look at a national squad (where the squad tends to select itself a little more to some degree) those skills could be critical.

We should pick a manager to take us through to the end of the Euro finals (or as far as we get), then give 'Arry a clean start without the inevitable tournament fallout.

Would give him time to unload Bale and Modric from Spurs and pick up his percentage on the profits as well.
