Fabio Cappello

[JungleCat03]

To be honest Im pretty underwhelmed by him. The thing that worries me is I cant remember many players coming from Italian football and being a success in England. I can recall a one or two English players going to Italy and having their careers stall and their ability decline. The game and mentality is just so different that I fear it might not work out.

What about Zola, Vialli, Ravanelli, Di Matteo, Gullit, Desailly, Bergkamp, Henry? All came from the Italian league and all excelled in the premiership.

I think we've been very lucky to get such a quality manager.

He's all about winning trophies and getting the maximum from all his players. He has the world's respect. He's used to dealing with the scummy tabloid press. He's used to handling superstar footballers as well as immense pressure and expectation. All in all his credentials are outstanding.

If we don't play super flair football, I'm not bothered.

Great appointment FA, for once they got it right!

How long before we're all chanting "boring boring England" ?

England are boring anyway, I'd rather be watching a boring England side winning than a boring England side losing.

If only spurs had some good young englishman that he could pick

excellent manager. same old shite to work with tho.

sven is proving at the moment that if you have good players he can make them play excellent football.

Man city were quality today and have had a great season so far from what i've seen.

I blame the england players for their lack of success.

Good Luck tho.

I'd listen to him..noone recognises shit players like a Scot..they watch shit footieweek in week out and should be expert on that subject.

Sven has the ability to work with probably 90% of the world's players at City with the money and reputation he has.

The problem that he had with England is that he has a finite amount of players to choose from. Capello faces the same problem but the difference is he wont be afraid to chop the superstars.
