I have to say that he was the man I wanted.

I hope they have given him complete control over the England setup. It needs a shake-up from the roots through to the main squad and the 16 year olds education now will be his new supply at the end of his reign (if he lasts that long).

I can see the little Englander press having to bit their tongues but will be biding their time to have their little digs before he has a chance to turn things around.

These things will be in no particular order:

1) He dont speak proper Inglish innit. The poor players cant understand him. Though he already clearly does, I suspect its better than some make out already.

2) This defensive passing game isnt our natural gamme. He doesnt understand the roots of English football etc etc (yes lets hope he doesnt).

3) He is being really hard on them, making them train and not go out clubbing and drinking while on England duty.

4) He didnt win the first competition we play in. Already the news have been mentioning we can win with him. Woa hold on there we have a long way to go down this road. We should be qualifying and Capello will do that hopefully even that wont be easy with Croatia again, lets not sack another good England manager because our squad isnt up to it.

Any other thoughts guys? I know he wasn't the choice for a lot of you.

2)

Quite Happy!
But rather embarassed at what our manager, Mr Southgate has been saying.
Someone needs to tell him that the people of this country voted for a market economy back in '79, and that a market economy is trans-national.
Or does he think it shouldn't apply to Football.

If/when England win a tournament, will everyone who's moaning that England need an Englishman in charge be moaning then?

No, I thought not and he seems the man to do it, but will his sole concern be the national side or will his brief be to shake the whole game up (or has he written his own terms and conditions?)?

I am really happy with Capello's appt. his CV speaks volumes, i hope we all get behind him, the early indication is we will, i like the fact he is a no nonsense man too
