Capello resigns

[Karabiner]

I never like the office anyway.

I'd have Hoddle. Bloody loved France 98. Didn't have the "golden generation" other managers had.

Best manager England have had for 20 odd years imo, tactically better than any english manager then and now!

If hoddle is so good as a manager, why hasn't he had a job for the last 10 years?

When will people realise that being a good tactician is not what we need!

We need a morale booster that players respect, can generate a good camp spirit, venebles esque.

This, and that's why there's 0% chance he could get the job, would be an absolute joke and even the FA aren't that idiotic.

Read this coming home tonight and sounds like the reaction was a bit OTT and people were incredibly quick to label him a weirdo or such. I don't know his beliefs and I would obviously disagree with them as a non-believer but i think it is a bit sad that he wasn't judged on his ability to do the job but what scandal a poisonous media could create. As to why he hasn't been in management I couldn't see too many chairmen being brave enough to employ him when at the first mention of his name the masses immediately cry wolf.

I think it's a myth that Hoddle was sacked due to that interview.
He was sacked due to results, plain and simple. The interview was a handy excuse for the FA.
Losing in the last 16 of the 1998 World Cup was not a good result for England. So he was under pressure as he then embarked on the Euro 2000 qualifiers.
First game, a 2-1 defeat in Sweden. Second game, a 0-0 home draw with Bulgaria. Third game, a 3-0 win in Luxembourg. Then followed a 2-0 home friendly win against Czech Rep.
He gave that interview on 30th January 1999. On the 1st February, England lost 1-0 at home in a friendly to France. On the 2nd February, he was sacked.
Results. A worry that England weren't going to qualify.
If he had won all those games, that interview would have gotten him a lot of flak but ultimately he'd have been fine. As it was, he was going to get the sack, even if he hadn't done that interview.

It wouldn't be a good idea to have Hoddle back. He'd be handicapped in the role cos of what happened during his previous incarnation as England manager.
