Euro 2012 - Capello: I will say nothing

a black person from Broadlands Bridgend South Wales­ complained about me parking my vehicle in my own street­ even though he lives in the next street, he contacted­ my company and said i was racist because i refused to­ move my vehicle and made a racist remark.

What did i­ say to him . i said i have lived in this street ­ since the day all these houses were built and i have­ never had a problem or complaint about my parking.­ according to him that is a racist remark fortunately­ for me my company new i was not racist .
the­ conversation did get a bit heated but no swearing or­ threats were made on my part , he did threaton to park­ his friends 7.5 ton lorry in my drive

over the next 18­ months i have had a smashed windscreen, four broken­ wing mirrors, two tyres let down, one tyre slashed­ and the side of the vehicle was keyed .

re-appoint Capello

racisme wins again football hase been ruined by­ stupid players crying he called me names give me ­ my dummy, god more importent things in life , time to­ grow up and ignore names happend for decades ,

Capello jumped as he knew the sack would have come when­ England fail as usual. He was lucky not to get the sack­ in the last WC when more successful team managers­ (Uruguay) resigned or where sacked

Chris when name calling is given the tag of racism,­ racism is reduced to childs play which it is not.­ Lawyers have made name calling racism for money. Soccer­ has devalued racism, and those now shouting about and­ making money out of this farce, devalue real victims of­ racism. It wont be long before people start disbeliving­ anyone who has been a real victim of racism. We have­ Black soccer players to thank for that, in my view they­ should be ashamed.

Whilst I think buried deep in your post there­ is a valid point I don't think you should really be­ portraying it that way.

My view is this.

Racism has­ no place in football or anywhere else for that matter.­ However for it to go EVERYBODY has to be treated the­ same.

There is an air of only a black person can be­ racially abused. Like i said before if AF had said­ something similar to JT I really don't think it­ would carry anywhere near as much weight. Would the­ police have even taken it seriously. I really don't­ think we'd have seen the same ridiculous behaviour­ from the FA (had AF been captain of course).

Do we­ really believe that south american, greek, russian,­ italian, french etc etc players are not abused in the­ same way? Yet nothing is done! Be interesting to know­ what would have happened if Suarez had insulted Evra­ for been French instead.

Whilst calling someone a­ black whatever is wrong so is the rest of the abuse­ that is thrown around and nothing is done. For as long­ as there is this inconsistency racism will never be­ gone.

Capello just can't be blamed in this at all. No­ matter what any one may say as regards using this as an­ escape from a not too good team but over hyped by the­ English press, fear of another bad outing; the truth is­ that a manager should have the exclusive right to­ decide who plays in his team and who leads it, how the­ team plays how they gets on as is concerns football­ matters. He must be the most important person and must­ not be undermined at all by his employers. The F.A­ undermined his authority period.

lets face it The current england team is useless, new­ players are just coming through that are showing­ potential I hope the next manager sticks with youth and­ gets rid of Terry, Lampard, Gerrard , Cole etc, but he­ wont as no one seems to have the balls.

Cliff, totally agree with your post 141.

If memory­ serves tho I think Mourinho said he wouldn't do the­ england job because he wants to do portugal one­ day.

Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I’m all for having an Englishman to manage the national­ team – but in all honesty, if Mourinho was to say I’ll­ do it – how many people out there would think that he­ would be a better choice than ‘Arry? I believe in­ playing to win, if that’s what people want from the­ national side then they need to employ the best­ possible person they can for that job, for me, Harry is­ not that person. This for me this is a shame cause I­ love the guy and think he is probably one of the most­ honest people out there doing this job. Go for Mourinho­ (just a coincidence that he has recently said he’ll­ leave Madrid at the end of this season and that he­ wants to come back to England to manage - which will be­ at about the same time Cappello would be leaving..?)­ and put in Harry or Pearce as his No2 to take over at a­ later date.

Black on white racism strikes again. We need a Black­ manager and a black team. Whites need not apply. Black­ will call any white player racist guilty or not. Soccer­ is nothing now, the blacks have made it too racist.­ Lets be honest the constant cry of racism by blacks has­ killed any chance the game had of ever being a sport. I­ have stopped watching my local team and the TV is­ turned over now, if soccer comes on to the Screen. I­ now have a soccer free house. Soccer is black on white­ racism now, its no longer a game that has any respect­ in it what so ever. Soccer just died. Unless of course­ you are black.

I personally couldn't care less what nationality­ the new manager is. I just want the best man for the­ job. Give me the choice of an Englishman failing ang a­ german winning us the Euros or world cup i know which­ one I'd take.

Other than Ramsey no manager of any­ nationality has won us anything.

138 – you want facts then check this out - you are­ correct in saying it was a member of public who­ initiated the complaint (which is also why it is going­ to a civilian criminal court and not through the FA)­ but the most significant thing here that most people­ are forgetting is this – Ferdinand says that he never­ heard what Terry said (as just mentioned – it was a­ member of the public) SO HOW CAN TERRY SAY HE WAS­ RESPONDING TO SOMETHING FERDINAND SAID? How can Terry­ turn around to him and say “I never called you a B****­ *******….” if they were not talking to each other?­ Ferdinand never reacted to it and never made the­ complaint because he never heard anything. Terry aid­ what he said but not as a reply…

The only people­ defending Terry are the supporters of Chelsea. While I­ commend their loyalty, it is in this instance­ completely misplaced. Just the same as Liverpool fans­ with Suarez who mat least had the gumption to admit­ what he said. The FA has done the right thing but­ they’ve done it in the wrong way. If you were to sit­ down and try to work out the worst way to deal with the­ situation, it wouldn’t have been far from what the FA­ has done – AGAIN! It’s hard for me to sit here and­ condone the wages that these incompetent fools are­ being paid to ruin the name of football in this­ country. To me they are as bad as the bankers who have­ dragged this country to its knees but still wallow in­ the lap of luxury while the real people who keep it all­ afloat – the fans – are kicked in the plums time after­ time. Terry and Cappello should not be the target of­ everyone’s comments on here – it should be the­ incompetent FA.

For a start J Terry is guilty – anyone with two eyes­ and two brain cells can see what he said, including the­ Chelsea supporters. That will be proven in a court­ later in the year. HOWEVER – the FA have well and truly­ screwed this up. Just like any other football manger HE­ is the guy who picks the squad, the team, the captain­ the substitutes and when those substitutes are used. At­ what point does the FA phone through to Cappello and­ tell him who’s in the team and at what time the­ substitutes are to be changed and who are to come off­ and go on?

To just decide off their own back that an­ innocent man @#$%il proven guilty) cannot be the­ captain any more is completely and utterly wrong. And­ why now? Why didn’t they do something when this whole­ furore started? If they had a problem with Terry­ (and let’s face it, I think the majority of the­ non-Chelsea supporters do), then they should have­ approached Cappello first to discuss the situation. As­ far as I’m aware they didn’t even have the courtesy to­ invite Terry to the FA and discuss the situation with­ him and explain what they were doing and why they were­ doing it – again SO WRONG to sack the national captain­ and informing him by using the media!

If the FA had­ handled this whole situation in a more mature fashion,­ we’d still have a captain (albeit probably a new one)­ and a manager – now we have neither! I didn’t see them­ step in and tell Redknapp he can’t manage Spurs until­ he’d cleared his name – no doubt he’ll be appointed the­ successor. I still believe he’s the wrong choice. He’s­ not a good manager – he’s a great motivator but when it­ comes to employing new tactics to turn a game, or even­ making a small decision like a key substitution is­ beyond him. I just don’t think he has the tactical­ brain. Also he hasn’t really tested himself on any big­ stage – his one attempt at football in Europe ended­ very quickly.

I’m all for having an Englishman to­ manage the national team – but in all honesty, if­ Mourinho was to say

Saying nothing....as opposed to 'doing­ nothing'.....Happy that this guy, who lets face it,­ was just useless...he achieved nothing but drew his­ multi million pound wages whilst tinkering with what­ maclaren was left with....A GOOD DAY FOR ENGLAND.

Shi post 128. AF can't have misheard JT. Simply­ because AF has freely admitted he never heard JT say­ anything at all.

It was a member of the public that­ complained.

Really should check facts before­ commenting

Mourinho is out of reach for England. He is not­ available for England, if he were, you would not have­ to wonder who capello's replacement would be.

Everyone saying its another waste of money employing­ another foreigner! But I don't think Sven was that­ bad, he had a lot of bad luck but he got us to late­ stages of all the tournaments he took us to. I'm a­ great believer in England having an English manager but­ Capello, despite his glittering CV, has done far more­ damage than Sven ever did. He should of been sacked­ after the World Cup. As a Spurs fan I hate to say it­ but there's only one man for the job. But if Harry­ wants to stay then I think Stuart Pearce should get the­ nod and bring in Gus Hiddink to help him for the Euros­ til he finds his way. Lets face it we're not gona­ win anyway so we might as well use it as a learning­ curve!

Hahaha, this is hilarious yet again guys, keep it up­ England! You never fail to let us down.

The real problem in this whole saga is the FA, the fact­ that they have let it go on for so long is a­ discrace. They should have dealt with it as swifty as­ they did with Saurez and we would n ot be in this mess.­ Everyone who says that the problem is that we don't­ have an English manager is talking rubbish. Look at­ Capello's stats and you will see he is more­ successful then anyone else English included. It does­ not matter who replaces Capello, the bottom line is our­ players are just not good enough. Most have foreign­ managers at club level, so no excuses whatsoever..­ And yes JT may be guilty but the British Justice ­ system will take that that for us, people have already­ judged him on that, whatever the outcome his reputation­ is shot, he may as well put in a transfer request and­ go abroad. Just one final point, if you make what is­ deemed a racist comment, are you a racist ? Steve­ Williams had the same problem a while back and Tiger­ Woods defended him and rightly so. If JT is a racist­ then he is doing a @#$% good job at keeping it hidden­ from all the ethic players at chelski, did he say a­ racist comment, probably, but I don't think he is­ going to sign up for the BNP just yet. Racism should­ be stamped out, no place for it in this country, the­ players should set an example, but also the fans have­ to take responsibility as well. More racists in the­ crowd than on the pitch
