Fabio Capello New England Gaffer

[dan the acid man]

well i'll support him, i wasn't too sure on the guy before, despite his great track record, but hearing some of his comments over the past few days he's saying the right things.

Lets hope he can get the players playing with pride again.

As for the female commentator, i couldn't care less what sex they are, as long as they're good, but she's not got the right voice, and she sounds fake when she's trying to sound excited

that's what people do when they're appointed to a new position.

Once in charge, England will romp to an easy Friendly match and the press will go ape over the new guy. Then he'll get hounded by the tabloids & he'll spend 1/2 his tenure countering any dodgy stories which will in the long run effect his job as England coach.

If he suceeds then great for english football, if doesn't then so long, here's your £7 million for being a failure. Whatever comes of his tenure, there's no doubt that the british tabloids will attempt to ruin whatever dignity and self respect the guy has.

It's the press, the spin mongerers that can see good talent, put it on show to the english/british public via newspaers/tv then at the drop of a hat take their opportunity and humiliate the person.

Good luck Fabio, you'll need it !!

Hopefully he can make us play like Italy does. England do not have many skillful flare players but what we do have is good defenders and hard working midfielders. So we should play to our strengths and if that means by winning 1-0 or 2-0 and not giving anything away then so be it. We have been so guilty in the past of giving the ball away so easily and lumping it up front so quickly - a slower tacktical approach is what is needed at international level.
