I have mixed feelings about Capello. Ok he is a great manager who had been able to win with every team he went. Stating that he did so because he was always able to tighten the ranks, buy the right type of players and show the door to those who had crossed his path. Its evident that he cant do that with England, where English talent is limited and where discipline at football level is rarely imposed. Therefore he has to reinvent his system which will not be easy.

In my opinion the English fans must realise that because of the Bosman ruling the England team is not as strong as it should be. And the more money that is poured in it, the more is going to get tough. English clubs are bringing in more and more foreign talent, making the EPL more competitive and therefore more difficult for youth talent to break in. And lets face it who'll the hell would spend 15m on Bentley when you can get an 18 year old Cristiano Ronaldo on 12m?
