Goodbye Capello! Hello ******!

[azaro]

F**k it! I'm applying!

I'm English, I haven't slept with Ulrika saggy t**s, I've paid more tax than I care to think about, I know f**k all about managing a team of thick, overpaid halfwits and I haven't got enough hair to have a stupid half quiff/comb over!

Must be in with a shout!

Start a petition on my behalf!
Harangue the FA and the House of Commons!
Azaro for England!
Surely I can't do any worse!

If nothing else,I'll get enough of a pay-off for being crap to buy a Vitamin T at last!

One of my mates applied to manage Liverpool back in the eighties, citing his expertise at Subbuteo, He had a beautifully polite declination letter.

how about Jeremy Kyle?

how about Jeremy Kyle?

Just.. No.

Just seemed that you were somewhat dismissive of one of the basic safeguards, indeed the entire foundation, of our legal system.

"someone's right to be considered innocent, blah, blah."

And you did say it, which I found surprising. That's all.

Thing is, though, that many scenarios involve due process, and suspensions and such, when people are accused and charged with offences. There's the whole sport and disrepute thing to consider.

Well, given the quality of his application letter to become Spurs Manager, I think Redknapp has a sure foot-in:

 

[Barneyballbags]

Well, would you believe it.

Redknapp HAS formally applied for the England post. Nice to see that he's kept his application concise... (screenshot off my phone, by the way):

At least up here we know we're shit. You lot have delusions of grandeur.

Because the insane amounts of money in the premier league we're flattered by having some of the best foreign players in the world, take them away or better still, play against them in international tournaments and we found out we, as a national team, have as much skill or passion as one of Messi's bootlaces.

I'm not going to get into a rugby v football ding ding but at least the rugby boys sing the f*cking national anthem. The England football team need a rocket up their arse. The best manager in the world would struggle with the players we have.

Now I know that I will stop humming Ravel while I am on the job.

I wonder if Harry will manage to bring Spurs in in the top three this year, and then come to regret picking up the poison chalice?

I can not imagine a good reason to swap being a successful premiership manager for such a thankless job.

I know. I'm no bitter wee England hater but when it comes to football it is entertaining every couple of years when you fail so miserably.

The top teams are owned by foreigners. Managed by foreigners. Played for by foreigners. English football might have money but it's got no soul, and no chance internationally as long as the above remains the case.

Let's assume Harry gets it, he's no spring chicken, Who's next? There's no young English managers anywhere near the top level because desperado chairmen want success inside 9 months. Pardew was widely ridiculed when he got the Newcastle job and is now feted as a genius. But he can't buy French players for England.

40 years of hurt going on 100.
