Euro 2012 - Paper Round: Slow news day? Not on your nelly...

Capello did the right thing. The manager is the boss or­ he isn't. England will never win anything with­ these clowns sitting on the sidelines interfering. ­ Redknapp would be mad to destroy his career with these­ clowns.

Fabio take on Totenhem and make them champions... that­ will shut them out.

what a mess.either way england have not got the­ players to win trophies at this level no matter who­ manages them.A long time since 1966

England will never win anything unless our football­­ culture is changed .in premier league now with foreign­­ input we are starting to play football like rest of­­ world do. only then will we progress and have a­ manager­ who understands how to play.the likes of­ shearer hanson­ lawrenson who only seem to understand­ how they played­ football and coach the same way ie,­ press the ball push­ up dont defend deep etc. all­ losing methods.cappello­ not right for job.rednapp is­ not either we need a­ forwards thinking young manager­ give him time to start­ afresh.The fa also need to sort­ there act out and get­ some consistency to there­ decisions.

To me, while I can see why the F.A. dispensed of Mr­ Capello's services because the matter is an­ internal F.A. matter, not any business of the public, I­ do also believe that the F.A. was wrong in sacking­ Terry as captain of the England team.
I think like this­ because the core principle behind the British justice­ system is that the accused is innocent until a jury­ finds him guilty and the F.A.'s action may make­ those jurors think that he must be guilty if the F.A.­ have sacked him and he will, therefore, not have a fair­ trial.
I hope Terry sues the F.A. for not waiting till­ the trial is over and for possibly damaging his trial­ outcome.

Arsenal team November 1990 : Seaman, Dixon, Bould,­ Adams, Winterburn, Rocastle, Thomas, Davis, Limpar,­ Merson, Smith.

November 2011 : Szczesny, Djourou,­ Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Andre Santos, Song, Ramsey,­ Arteta, Walcott, van Persie, Arshavin

Gooners, I'm­ not getting at you. So, before you start venting your­ spleens, I'm just using you to illustrate the broad­ picture........ to show the main reason as to why­ England will NEVER win anything. I could have picked­ any premiership team, but Arsenal have probably been­ the protagonist 'foreign legion' team for­ several years.

The English press have at long last got their wish,most­ of them going as far as saying Capello did not bother­ learning the language but they fully understood­ whatever he said in English at his press­ conferences.Non of them have bothered to say anything­ about the previous English managers record at managing­ England and that the last one did not even manage to­ qualify England for Euro 2008.They delude themselves­ that they have world class players who are destined to­ win the world cup and that the only thing they need is­ an English manager to make it happen

thats four yrs & 24 million the FA have wasted­ & England are still no nearer winning anything how­ much more money are thy gonna waste on the next manager­ 'Terry ' is yet anougher player who thinks hes­ bigger than the whole England set up amids long line of­ players over the yrs & until the FA realise that­ England are never gonna win anything

Is Harry Redknapp the right man for the job? Im sure if­ the FA tried to tell him what to do, he will tell them­ where stick their job. I think he will be happier to­ stay with Spurs.

I too abhor the percentage of foreign players­ in the Premiership. Bloody ludicrous. And most of them­ are no better or no worse than British players. We just­ have a passing fad that foreign players, managers and­ owners are considered, by definition, better than­ British ones. Hopefully the bubble will burst soon and­ we'll realise that it was never true.
But the point­ is that the foreign players come to the Prmeiership and­ are obliged to play a style of game that is different­ to what they are used to everywhere else in the world.­ Some adapt to it and some don't, but it is,­ undeniably, a game that is faster, more intense and­ more physical than the game played anywhere else.
And­ if the rest of the world struggles to adapt to the­ English style of football, why don't we use that­ fact instead of trying (and generally failing) to play­ them at their own game?
Let THEM struggle to cope with­ us rather than the other way round.

alex ferguson as temp coach till after euros then look­ properly for next england manager

" taking english football out to the rest of the­ world " English football is made up BY the rest of­ the world. The best players in the EPL are NOT English.­ That's the problem.

Well said no 79 and 80

No foreign managers please, we have tried this twice­ now paying fecking stupid money for what~~~~~~same old­ story if we are going to fail let it be English

harry redknapp is to old for the job it will kill him­ we need a youg man who is good at his job and can spend­ many years getting a side to geter that wins things

You say "in premier league now­ with foreign­ input we are starting to play football­ like rest of­ world do".
It has always struck me­ as odd that everybody who expresses an opinion on­ football agrees that English football is the best in­ the world. Foreign players who come into the Premier­ League take a lot of time to adapt to it; many never do­ and skulk off back to where they came from.
But instead­ of taking this English football out there and playing­ our own way when we go to World Cups etcetera, we­ appoint foreign managers to the England team and send­ the players out to try and do what the rest of the­ world do.
Madness. Sod trying to play like the rest of­ the world do.
If the pace and physicality etc of­ English football is difficult for foreigners to cope­ with, why on earth don't England play that way and­ stick it up 'em.

typical tabloid news they have slaged capello down­ more or less since he was given the job now they are­ slagging him cause he had the guts to say he manage the­ team not the commitee, it should have been the commitee­ that went after not capello he had more b====s than­ these reporters put together

I would expect the media to turn on Harry Red as soon­ as it looks like he does not have the tactical ability,­ which i don't think he does. Then he would walk.
I­ think the best England could hope for in a temp coach­ to take them through the summer, Wenger would be a good­ start.

Paul Parker for England. We want an All Black squad.

In our view there are plenty of players in the Prem and­ at a push even the Championship, that could come in to­ the England squard and make far more of an impact than­ the current lot.

All this talk about the Manager being­ at fault is pure tosh, he will give the players the­ tools and the direction on how he wants them to play­ but if they do not listen and do their own thing what­ can he do.
I think that there has got to be some­ outside influance on the manager, why else would­ players be picked when they are in poor form or just­ came back from injury.

Look at the likes of the­ players at Norwich, Swansea in our eyes they are­ playing out of their skins and making some of the so­ called England (players) big guns look a little less­ then top draw.

A big shake up is needed within the­ squad, but all fabio was trying to do was stick up for­ his Capt so i think he had his heart in the right­ place, regardless of our views as at the end of the day­ thats what you need your boss going into bat for you.
