O/T Capello Resigns / New England Manager Speculation Thread

The Moonlit Knight said:
Maybe, but I also think his hand was forced a lot of the time and there was a lot of good fortune that came from luck, not good planning. I bet he never planned for Redknapp to be around this long that's for sure. But by building a stable financial platform he has set the foundations for a successful era. Hopefully he'll make a good appointment for Spurs if Redknapp does go, and not get blinded by trying to bring in a big name Manager who isn't suited to our ethos.

So depending on your agenda (as I already pointed out to Milo eventhough he denies having one) his decisions have either been 'luck' or 'good planning'. Your constant hate and baseless attempts to discredit everything one of the best Chairman in the PL does for more than a decade is as boring as the infinte pro-Arry propaganda.

Difference is - when your boy buggers off to manage England for which he's been hitching skirt for the last 2 years out of the window of his Wayne Rover - it would be Levy who remains behind, picking up the thread again - so why not stick by him and try to see the positives he does, making sure when don't end up like Leeds instead of always smearing brick all over him by passing of specualtion about past events as fact.

If the FA had any balls, they'd come out and say players should not be publicly commenting or speculating on the next manager appointment. Not only is it unsettling the current manager of another Premier League club, it also puts the next manager in a bit of a pickle. Imagine if it's Hodgson that's appointed and he calls up Rooney and Rio to the squad, knowing that they'd prefer someone else managing the team. It's just not necessary.

Seriously dude I agree 100% but we all know the FA are just a spineless bunch of clams pandering to public opinion

Would you play Carrick and Modric, or would you throw Sandro in, and have 3 in the middle?

Carrick & Modric for all but City and Utd away. I'd drop Sandro in for those.

Same in the CL for away matches against the few teams who are better than us.

Why does accepting that someone has strengths and weaknesses mean that you have an agenda?

When Harry leaves, I will support the club and hope the chairman makes the right appointment, like always.

I simply feel his weaknesses are often exaggerated, that is all

There are few if any chairmen in the Premier League that I would swap Levy for but I think that he has botched the appointment of several managers. He's got a far better record than Sugar in this area though, he really was clueless.
 
I can see a situation where Harry uses this as a bargaining tool against Levy to get a pay rise and a guaranteed transfer pot for the summer.
 
Milo, I really think Arry's heart is set on managing England and probably some kind of gentlemen's agreement has been reached prior. All the signs have been there. I don't think this is about money per se - he's getting on a bit and wants to probably retire with this one last challenge. Plus he won't exactly earn 10 quid from the FA - how much was Capello earning.

- Arry stating numerous times he'd love to do it, highest honour, etc.

- Minimal transfer investment over the last 18 months bar a few short-terms loans and clearing deadwood - clearly Levy is saving up for a busy summer so why give an outgoing manager funds to spend?
 
That is a very clear message from Jamie, written on behalf of his dad. He will definitely manage England. It's just a question of full time or part time now.
 
yup, have to agree.

the statements from the FA, a plea from his son...it seems that it couldn't be more perfect. the decision has been made and all the wheels are being set in motion now.

i believe though that levy won't have missed a beat, and will have a plan for this scenario just in case it happens.

Sandro, if he can stay fit for more than 5 games in a row, will go to partner Modric

I love Sandro. What a beast.

why did you choose hootnow as a monniker?

Silly story. As our first child was starting to learn how to speak, got all the usual words out, no, mum, dad etc. But persisted with hootnow. My wife and I had no idea what he was trying to say. Turns out he'd heard me say er no a few times and that was his attempt to replicate that....

Well, my wife and I found it funny. 8-[

We already have another thread on this so I will keep it brief. I can see Harry taking over for just this summer and then coming back to us. The 2014 World Cup is a dead cause and Harry wouldn't want to be judged on that. Expectation is low for this summer and if it goes wrong Harry has countless people he can pin the blame on. He can also use the FA's interest to get a pay rise and the funds needed to mount a league challenge next season. When England do badly in Brazil, he will be in the perfect position to take over permanently.
 
The FA accepted yesterday that the man for Krakow may not necessarily be the man for Rio 2014.

Harry will be managing England at the Euro and back with us 10 days after that. Thats the best solution anyway.
