Capello resigns

[coolhead23 1,146]

Well done, Fabio u finally did something right in your England tenure as coach. At least u stood by to what u though was right. This mite not be a good news to Spurs because Redknapp is the and was the fav to take over Capello ...

I wasn't surprised by this, I had a feeling that the FA was going to hit back after he publicly disagreed with their decision.

if they wanted Terry and Capello out then they have the right to act but to do this 4 months before a big tournament is idiotic. England had a chance to do well and now they have to deal with the upheaval first!

change the words "deal with" to "muddle or blunder through"

That's why I want Harry to get the job. I want to see media reaction if he doesn't do well.

Redknapp will get a win-win situation. If England get knocked out even earlier than usual, he can blame it on the disarray that the squad was in when he inherited it, etc. If he lucks out and England make it to the quarters/semi's, he'll have the media fawning on him and a much more enhanced reputation. Seems like the kind of deal that slimy bloke likes to take. You have to admire (grudgingly) his opportunism.

One upshot of the whole affair is that Spurs will go back to mid table mediocrity. VdV, Modric, Bale etc. will probably leave and it would be great if we could snap up one of them.

Brendan isn't English.

I didn't know that.

I don't even think the England manager has to be 'English'. He should simply have an understanding of the English game, and be frequent in English. This whole 'England manager should be English' is nonsense.

I don't want Redknapp to leave as Mourinho or Hiddink could go to Spurs, which I would hate.

I really dont see this Mourinho to Spurs anytime in the nearest future (except the get some owner with major funds), let us look at the man's history for a second, from Porto who in my opinion is a bigger club than Spurs and have achieved more in European football than even us. He left there for Chelsea, the glamour and life of London with a Billionaire owner with an open check book....After that he went to the italian giants, Inter Milan do i need to explain this?...Where he left and went to the biggest club in the world and we all think he will leave managing Ozil, Benzema, Di Maria, Ronaldo, Ramos, d list keeps going and Real Madrid to come manage shittham hotspurs and the likes of Walker, Bale, VDV and Adebayor ( both madrid reject)?...You must be seeing something i am not... I am only scared of Mourinho going to either Man U (stupid history/legacy n all that BS and they all have money to spend) or City (Billionaire owners) not to Levy that he scraping to put Modric on good wages..Where will they even get the money for his wages and to get him?...lol

As for Hiddink, well cant say much..Hope he values is relationship with is one Russian billionaire friend and still has is eyes on some upstairs job at CFC.....Whatever happens if Redknapp leaves spurs now, they will be fucked for the rest of the season

[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

No way Mourinho would go to Spuds except in their delusory special needs minds....

Back to Capello -well fuck me an Italian abandoning a sinking ship, who'd have thought it ?

Anyone reckon he was forced into resigning by the FA? They obviously wouldn't of been happy with his comments about JT's captaincy & they don't want a manger that will go against them. Harry's just been found not guilty convenient timing if you ask me...Surely the FA aren't stupid enough to fuck themselves over & not have a manager lined up 4 months before a major tournamt. If harry does become manager I hope it's before the end of the season so spurs will be fucked!

Can't see Jose going to Spurs, he's better than that.

Well done Fabio you grew some balls finally, only 2 years too late sunshine.

I agree, but imo it's too soon for Brendan.

Yep I agree, 'forced' into resigning.

I say this, because Capello has been gagged from commenting on anything said in the meeting. If you quit a job, you don't have to sign anything that says you won't say anything... But they can write it if you're leaving for any other reason, i.e. sacked, redundant.

I think he was booted out, signed a contract that said he would say he quit and that he won't say a word, and get's a cool couple of million out of it.

It would be silly if JT now turned his back to England, after Capello stood up for him!

The FA will make sure the new manager does what they are told regarding the JT situation after all this. I'll be surprised if JT even gets a look in now tbh. He's probably better retiring before he's snubbed.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Good! End of the day they went behind his back and doubted his judgement and good on him for saying what he believed! Surprised thought he was gana turn around and aplogise or whatever but good on him...Ole Harry then no doubt

arry is the model used car dealer ,,,,He will now revel in his standing with the press and media ,,he might well stay at spurs with rosie getting

another big bonus . He would avoid the poison chalice of the England job and keep his reputation intact

Arry will look after Arry ,,,he always has ,,,check about Billy Bonds at West Ham or ask the Saints fans about him.

What difference does it make if it's four month before the tournament anyway... this is England remember!, England usually do play well before tournaments and are ready then go and play terrible in the actual thing. I think the problem has always been the words and motivation with England, never about tactics or how to play better football, because we've had the best managers to do that, Capello was one. Redknapp would be perfect because for me he's the best motivator in the league.
