Old Nick Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 We shall see. England (press and fans) have turned against every manager they've had, as far back as I can remember. The only manager the Scot's have turned on is Berti Vogts, who took us to unpresidented depths. I know where the smart money would be. Where would you place yours?

Obviously not the same ones as you. I don't remember the country turning on managers in a way comparable to the English turning on a manager. Dissatisfaction, I'll grant you, but nothing like the venom I've seen directed at the England managers. A month or so ago, all I heard down here was that McLaren was completely clueless/ incompetant Every newspaper carried a story saying such. Apparently Sven was the biggest Idiot to ever grace the face of this planet after the world cup. The Scottish press have never really done that to anywhere near the level they do it down here. Berti, by far , got the hardest treatment from fans/media that any of our managers have had, and it is nothing like the hysteria that goes on in England.

RockyBalboa Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Anyone know why the pish is on Scottish telly? Im all for watching football but....

Buffalo Bill Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If you remember the England v Croatia game, Croatia played together as if they were a club team; every player knew what their job was and what to do next. I'm not sure if England have ever had that or can ever achieve it. I think the Capello appointment will be either dull and pointless or a glorous success. It's 50/50. Buffalo Bill .

Rubbish. The country/media have'nt turned on a manager in such a fasion. Individuals have been displeased with them, I despised Craig Brown, but contrary previous posts by similar minded to yourself he was not hounded out. He was the Darling of the press, hailed as our most successful manager ever. Your perspective of the world is a very twisted one indeed. None so blind as those who will not see.

I'm not sure if England have ever had that or can ever achieve it. I think England have had it - fitfully - in 1990 with Robson, and under Venables. Keegan's England was a roller coaster ride, but Ericsson certainly didn't foster that club spirit and Hoddle, if we believe the press, was almost a cause for division in his own right. Revie, Taylor, and McLaren were uninspired FA appointments and inevitably fell flat. I think the Capello appointment will be either dull and pointless or a glorous success. Talking to the Lombardia Hearts boys last week the concensus seemed to be that Capello has no soul and will run the England set-up on coldly efficient lines. But they did also concede that he is a winner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTidy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Half an hour build up for a friendly? The media have gone back to the start of the cycle, fervent anticiaption. If England get a decent result tonight everything will be ice-cream at the FA. Not so long ago McLaren's team won 4-0 against the current Euro champs. We saw how he turned out.
