Cappelo to leave after Euro 2012

And if by chance we win the competition or at the very least our team play to their full potential, we will look bloody stupid when Capello goes and, on the back of a red top press campaign, we appoint some useless English coach just to satisfy the xenophobes.
I wouldn't worry. That scenario is highly unlikely.

Will Hodgeson be fed up of the tight yanks by then? 
Only Englishman I'd want.

As you know I'm a very positive England fan but the last 2 games where we've played well and destroyed half decent opposition just make me wonder why we were so poor in the WC! Capello has been the best England manager for a long, long time apart from the bit where it really counted! Very annoying.

xenophobes...
I want an English coach whats wrong with that.
No other top nation has a coach from another country and pays them 5 times more than anyone else.

However is there a decent English coach available?
Hatterlovesbrighton
something clever
Hodgson for me. Only other person I would consider would be Stuart Pearce, talk about passion!!
The Large One
Who's Next?
We talk FAR too much about passion.
How about, technique, intelligence, ability, thought, application...?

I've never worked out why we appear to pay the most and offer the longest contracts? Surely it should be one or the other.

Stuart Pearce should be nowhere near the job! I like the bloke but christ on a bike he's not the next England manager. Don't understand the whole he has to be English thing, as long as he's the best man for the job, what does it matter?

Give the englishman a chance i say.
Brazil would laugh at the idea of appointing a foreign coach yet we feel we have no decent coaches, absolute nonsense.
Its all about man management at that level.
You dont have to have a CV as long as your arm to be a decent international manager, people are hung up on what people have won etc...

we don't have many good coaches/managers though do we? that's quite evident
considering the supposed might of our domestic game we have a chronic lack of individuals good enough for that type of role.....this is made even more clear when you compare us with other top level countries

I want a winner with a capital W, that's what Barwick got us in Capello and I want someone similar next time, preferably English but this is not a necessity, Hodgson is the standout choice at the moment but I can't see him being in two years time. He'll either do very well at Liverpool and won't want to leave there or he will not do well and people then would see him as a failure.

hodgson is the only englishman that i'd consider to be good enough......i think he'd do a pretty good job

There is nothing wrong with that except if you only want an English coach to the detriment of the team!
Is the correct answer.
You're right. We had passion with Keegan and look where it got us!
Just to remind you that Brazil have won the world cup 5 times, Italy 4, West Germany 3 so they have a successful tradition.
As for the CV, you are right, it doesn't have to be as long as your arm but you have to demonstrate some ability and knowledge. At present there is really only one English candidate and that is Hodgson. Any others would just be pot luck.

Anyone heard of the german coach prior to the world cup ?
What had he done... he would have laughed of in this country as a rubbish coach if he was english.
