Capello resigns

[Josedinho]

Fantastic 'fk you' to Redknapp from Capello.

He had to put up with the constant drone for Harry to get the job straight after the Euros (from him, from his dimwit son on Sky, from dreary fks like Shearer) to clean up the disaster that Capello was obviously going to inflict on us all in Poland and Ukraine.

By quitting today, the FA still can't get Redknapp in till after the Euros (Levy won't let him go before then, either permanently or part-time), but the FA can't have a caretaker manager in for the Euros - no one half-decent will take the job with the certainty that Harry will come in after the Euros - they will want a contract through to the next World Cup at a minimum.

So the FA will have to look for a permanent non-Redknapp manager, and Harry will be shut out until 2014, by which time the Spurs moment in the sun will have ended and they'll be back battling Aston Villa and Everton for 8th every year.

Disagree.
If Redknapp wants it (I probably wouldn't in his position) I'm sure the FA will let him do Spurs till the end of the season (again I don't see why as he won't win the title so if you're taking England job then just take it) We only have 1 friendly before end of season. We could easily pretend not to have found a manager by then.
Think a few would fancy it on a 1 tournament job - Somebody like Hiddink has nothing to lose. If he does well he enhances his rep and gets a good job (Spurs, Real, Chelsea, England) If he doesn't he gets a fat cheque and says it was hard only working with players a few weeks before the tournament and didn't have enough time to make the team his own.
Capello just saved the FA a chunk of money.

Let's look at the requirements for the job.

1 - English
2 - Established record of success, ideally recent success at an international level
3 - Ability to inspire awe and devotion among those around him
4 - Makes those he is competing against play below their best, crumbling their self-confidence

There is clearly one outstanding candidate for the job.

I present the man who should lead England to glory!

[gatso]

so am I the only person that thinks the fa waited for the redknapp verdict before telling capello he could quit or be sacked?

harry to be brought in sooner rather than later, maybe part time, moyes to replace him at spurs. it's all so simple

According to Wikipedia, Pearce has been appointed caretaker manager.

[MintTrav]

Both he and Eriksson may have done the business with Italian league clubs, but they have both highlighted the huge gulf between Serie A and International football management.

I think they've both shown themselves to be tactically inept, inflexible and somewhat poor man managers.

Fabio's won the lot and managed bugger all with England.

Well, based on results (what else), Capello has been England's most successful manager ever by a long way, with Ramsay, Hoddle, Greenwood & Eriksson all almost equal next with hardly anything between them percentage-wise.

pearce and brooking joint caretaker managers according to the mail

hardly a dream team

[Josedinho]

Just remembered Fabio missed his sons wedding for a friendly! He was doing the trying to get the sack thing all wrong!

[MahoganyVic]

Can't understand all the hype about Redknapp. How many years has he been around while achieving very little? All well and good saying he hasnt had the chance to manage a top team, but there must be a reason why he has never had a top job.

Fair enough he ain't bad, but he is being talked about like some sort of God.

[Acidmouse]

Harry Kurrptnutt if he gets the job how long before all the old tales of his bungs and betting history comes out?

Yeah - Redknapp has been lucky in that he has had a pretty good season at Tottenham the same year that Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have been lolriffic, which has made him appear much better in comparison.

And as for the reason why he's never had a top job - he was found not guilty yesterday but, you know...

Italy have won the world cup 4 times everytime with a Serie A managers. Twice when colour TV's were about and most recently with Marcello Lippi in 2006.

Try watching a bit more Italian football may help your arguments when talking about Italian managers.

England have won fuck all since 66 cos they are shit not cos of the managers.
