Gallowgate End Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The problems with our national side stem all the way back to Grassroots football and unless we do something about that, we'll still churn out average players or players technically and tactically unable to compete at the highest level. If we do win something it won't be by design put it that way. Have to say I disagree with this. Your view is a popular one however but in my opinion we produce World Class and technically gifted players that rival the top football nations in the World. The popular view that our country's national team are technically unable to compete at the highest level is such utter nonsense our country's grassroots has produced fantastically technically gifted players for our current National team such as Rooney, Owen, Lampard, Gerrard and others who are amongst the Worlds Best in there position such as John Terry and Rio Ferdinand. Our country's grassroots has given our current National team great players what our country needs is a great manager who will turn our great players that our grassroots has produced into a great team. On Fabio Capello he has a impressive history of consistently turning teams with great players into great teams in a short space of time he is a designer of great systems that suit the great players and manages them to win major trophies his CV is amongst the best managers in the World and with that he is without doubt considering this country's lack of current World Class English managers the right choice by the FA to get our country's great national team players and turning them into a great team.

James Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Reading a few articles about Capello, in particular a BBC one where Desailly, Seedorf and Boban discuss his attributes, I'd say he actually possesses quite a few similar principles to Allardyce. This could be intersting if Capello and Allardyce were to find some common ground and have some sort of working relationship. For starters, if both of Owen's managers can come to an agreement about how they want Owen to play, I can see Owen improving for both teams. Sam may also pick up a few small tweaks to his systems from Capello. 433 is popular at the moment because there are more players to defend, but perhaps Capello can show that a team can defend just as well with a 442, while offerring opportunities to attack. I reckon if Allardyce can learn to implement Capello's 442 system, it could hugely benefit us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 But will he pick Owen just because he's Owen? I think he'll pick whoever is on form and this season it hasn't been Owen. Perhaps Rooney up front on his own? Apart from him none of the English forwards have had a spectacular season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 £6m is a fuck load of money for someone who has zero experience of managing international teams. I haven't really followed his managerial career but hasn't he always managed amazing teams filled with talent? Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus immediately jump out. My point is, although he's good at creating winning teams (though very defensive ones at that), he's always had time to implement his schemes and was able to control the way the team plays, however, in international football, he's not going to have a whole two months to drill one of the center mids to hang back, tackle in zone a, press in zone b etc. etc. He's gonna have 10-14 days before big tournaments and 5 days before qualifying games to do all of that. Can he do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he do it? Agreed. As he appears to be mad keen on the job I would have been inclined to offer him a decent basic (say £1m a year) and £10m for every major tournament he wins us. If he's that confident in his ability this will prove it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Capello confirmed Friday, 14 December 2007. The Football Association has today appointed Fabio Capello as England Manager. Capello will begin work in the post on Monday 7 January. He has signed a four-and-a-half year contract. The appointment was made following discussions with FA Chief Executive Brian Barwick and Director of Football Development Sir Trevor Brooking at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday. This was then ratified unanimously by the FA Board on Thursday. Capello has vast experience as a coach at the top level of the game. His 16-year managerial career has encompassed spells at AC Milan, Real Madrid, AS Roma and Juventus. In total, Capello has won nine League titles in Italy and Spain as well as lifting the European Cup with Milan in 1994. Brian Barwick said: "I am delighted that Fabio Capello has agreed to become England Manager. When we set out to recruit the new manager, we said we were committed to appointing a world-class candidate. In Fabio Capello we have that man. "Fabio is a winner. His record over the last two decades speaks for itself. At every club he has managed, Fabio has won the League title and Trevor and I were left in no doubt of his passion and commitment to bring that success to the England team." Sir Trevor Brooking added: "Fabio Capello is widely recognised as one of the world's finest coaches. He has achieved huge success wherever he has worked and has the respect of everyone in football. "Fabio will have the full support of The FA and its coaching set-up. We are excited about working with him over the coming years as we focus on qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa." Capello’s backroom staff will consist of assistants Franco Baldini and Italo Galbiati, goalkeeping coach Franco Tancredi, and fitness coach Massimo Neri. He will also discuss with Trevor Brooking how to integrate an English presence into the coaching set-up. Capello enjoyed a successful playing career as a midfielder with Roma, Juventus and Milan, winning 32 caps for Italy. He began his coaching career with Milan graduating to take charge of the first team in 1991. He brought huge success to the club winning four Serie A titles in five seasons and overseeing European Cup success with a 4-0 Final victory over Barcelona in 1994. A season at Real Madrid followed where the team won La Liga. After a brief return to Milan, Capello joined Roma. The Serie A title was secured in 2001 and Capello was recruited by Juventus in 2004 where he won Serie A in both 2005 and 2006. Capello spent last season back at Real Madrid, once again winning the League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
