I thought that Fabio did a very good job, considering the bunch of prima-donna-wankers that he had to work with.
One thing though ......... I know that I wouldn't be giving up my job (especially paying that kind of money) in support of a 100% gold-plated turd like Terry.

Purely coincidence that the England job becomes available the same week as the likely future incumbent is found not guilty in court?

Conflict of interests if he does both jobs.
Spurs going for the league - Harry is in effect another manager for Milner, Barry, Hart, Lescott, Johnson and possibly Micah and therefore has free access to them.
He could give them phone calls saying they need to concentrate on something which could be detrimental to bobs work, could give them extra training in the hope they get injured, could tell Parker to nobble them in training. ALl sorts of things.
Imagine the uproar if Hart was injured in an england training session

the facts of the matter regarding capello's record are there for all to see. he should have gone after the world cup.
before the world cup we called a large pool of players together to choose from. despite not using any of them for the friendly matches arranged for precisely this reason, he dropped the hopefuls and went for the old guard who had failed time and time again.
he went into the world cup completely unsure of who his first choice keeper was. after one mistake, he dropped the man he'd gone for like a stone and went for the man who had a history of letting his country down.
we failed to beat usa, fair enough. we should have beaten them but we are not as good as we think we are so a draw against a decent team in the first match is not a disaster.
after this, his team 100% failed against an algerian team we should have dispatched convincingly.
we went into the final game against slovenia needing a result to stay in a world cup after being given what most people considered to be a gift of a group. we struggled to break down slovenia and therefore finish runners up in a one horse race.
the result of the horrific showing in the group stage was that we had to play germany rather than ghana. ghana, uruguay and holland would have stood in the way of a world cup final had we performed in the group stage. all organised teams but a million miles away from germany, argentina and spain which would have been the route had we got past the germans.
ah yes, the germany match. the most complete humiliation of an england international football team that i've seen since marco van basten single handedly took our defence apart 22 years earlier.
he continued ignoring the fact that micah richards is the best english right back because he felt he couldn't trust him to carry out his instructions. this suggests that the players he continues to select DO carry out his instructions. this would disturb anybody who actually watched england's world cup campaign of 2010.
capello's tactics never suggested we were dealing with one of the world's top managers despite his phenomenal club career. his refusal to attend matches in the north of england were well documented. he lurched from one bad decision to another. it wasn't all bad, his start as england manager had most of us believing we finally had the man to pin prick the egos and get england going. his qualification results were fantastic. ultimately though, international managers are judged on results AT tournaments. capello failed miserably in the one tournament he took england to.
dietmar hamann recently summed up both the english mentality and international football with the following "5-1 was a bit harsh but at the end of the dayit was only a qualifierand you have to move on. we were disappointed to lose the game but we weren't that bothered. you have to see the bigger picture and the bigger picture was to qualify for the world cup, which both teams did. i appreciate that england celebrate that win but i think at times they forget what qualifiers are about. qualifiers are about getting to a tournament and then doing well in the tournament. i think after that game england thought they had won the world cup. they hadn't."
the above statement screws up capello's qualifying record and lobs it into the recycle bin. we SHOULD get to tournaments. it's at them where the work starts.

I've never heard of Bob Houghton either.............. The question is though, is he expert in the Belgian Coaching Technique? :-)BoyBlue_1985 said:Damocles said:BillyShears said:When you work for a large public organisation like the FA.
Every football club is also a large public organisation. The FA are politicians. The precedent set that you can basically accuse them of anything and they'd get the sack.
If you live in a binary black and white world then ok, they interfered in football matters. The fact that they did the right thing is clearly lost on you.
Because they didn't "do the right thing". On what planet is politicians removing the England captain "the right thing"?
The wider issues are having someone accused of racially abusing his international teammates brother as captain. The wider issues would be if he were to be found guilty. The wider issues include the amount of public work the England captain needs to do.
No, the England captain doesn't NEED to do public work, they are forced to by the FA because it lines their pockets. Bobby Moore managed to get by without it. If he were to be found guilty then remove him. The politicians have proved that they don't back their players or their management, and now they've left us with no captain, no manager and no chance at the Euros. We've wasted two whole fucking years.
Oh, and Bob Houghton? If he's such a good manager then why has nobody outside of India seen fit to give him a job....
You didn't know who he was before today did you Billy? Otherwise, you'd know the answer to that question.
I don't know who he is either, why are you bigging him up and why has most of his work been in the Asian continent
