I recall Don Fabio, playing for Roma at the CG when we beat them 4-0. Undoubtedly this made a profound impact on him.....
Capello has always worked with technically decent players.....it wil be interesting to see his approach, and whether he can make much out of our lot.

At least he can fall back on bribing the opposition. The English FA have deeper pockets than most.

What will happen is
Capello will win all his friendlies under England, and with his first game being a 4-0 beating of Swizerland.
The English press and public will then go mad, and for some reason start believing think they will will world cup 2010.
10 months down the line, England will struggle to a laboured win against someone like Kazakstan, and then draw away to Ukraine. The press will then start slating Capello, the pressure will get to much , and then England will start to struggle.
Alternatively England will win their group easily, get to the quater finals of the world cup and play a half decent side. England will then lose, with national newspapers blaming the defeat on the ref, a dodgey decision, or penalties. Then England will qualify for euro 2012, same thing will happen, and Capello will leave.
In a word, hes a good manager, but cant see any reason why he will change englands fortunes. Then again, you never know ...

Personally, from a non-footballing side of things, I think it's bloody disgusting to be paying anyone £4m a year, especially when I expect that person to be paying no tax on a penny of that income, should think that'll go staright into some offshore account, Capello will not be a UK resident for tax purposes so the HMRC will dip out - disgrace.

I didnt vote. YES he is probably the best man for the job however the national team should be managed by someone English, I am howerver aware that most english managers are shit right now so I guess Fabio is the man for the job, he is successful and has always said he wanted it from day one unlike Mourniho who used the english job to get a nig club to come after him before it was too late.

Of course he's a good appointment.
If there was an Englishman in the Brian Clough (no bollocks) or Bobby Robson (top quality coach and highly influential character) type mold then we'd have an Englishman in charge. But we haven't got a coach available at this time - therefore we appoint the best manager available.
When Sven left the England job people like Dave Whelan were screaming for an English manager because, to them, that was the only way we'd ever achieve anything - people like Dave Whelan have been somewhat quieter this time round.
If what I've read about Fabio's man-management is true we'll go forward.
