I really don't know what is going to happen though, it could all go terribly wrong. This is a good read and has some good points, and I'm not convinced that he will bring success to England, but in saying that I don't think anyone could. He's a good manager and he will give it his best shot no doubt, I just wonder how he will cope with the media. He isn't going tobe playing attacking football that the fans love and so if they lose, he is going to get slated by the press. I suppose working in Madrid will have prepard him for having the public pick his team every week Yeah I can’t wait to see what happens with the likes of Terry and Lampard.

Run-ins with Terry et al are inevitable and it will be fun to see who wins. But the team clearly need a strong character who wont bend over backwards to player requests for Wags to go on tour etc etc. Eriksson and McClaren were in the players' pockets but there is no way Capello will be like that, especially if he hardly speaks to the players because of the language issue.

The hell for leather approach england players love has failed and the team are in the sort of shape Real Madrid were at the end of the galactico era. Capello's going to come in, ignore a few reputations and we'll see where we are in a year or so. He's not a long term solution, obviously, but trying to look on the bright side he might do a bit of good for a while. I think we’re looking at short sharp switch of style with Capello in charge.

I just saw a story in Germany talking about Capello and England being an "explosive mix" and there are more than a few warning notes in the Madrid press today.
