Capello Confirmed England Manager

[Jordy]

Clearly over the past few days it was pretty obvious Fabio Capello was going to get the job as England Manager, and at around 5pm today he was confirmed England manager. He's got the fully Italian backroom staff as he requested which much of clenched the deal, he's used the same back room staff at all the Club's he's gone too, in which he's won the league at all of them. Contract till 2010 at allegedly 6 million pounds a year, nice..?

I think this is the best manager they could of possibly got which was available and is just what England needed. Lets hope his success continues?

Thoughts?

what im worried about is the fact that capello doesnt speak much english, so i've been told. am i right?
im sure he'll do fine though.

I think he will do ok, as long as the players play to their full potential.

£6m a year?! Desperate much?

Or is it maybe £6m all in at 210

I wanted Jose

But if he can actually tame some of the biggest personalities (in their own minds) in the world to actually kick a football then I may respect him.
