    Why do people insist Capello was involved in Beckham not playing for real madrid.
    It was the president.
    read the guardian for fuck sake
    the tabloids will ruin your mind.

    Not a very funny one really to be fair. Sure he hasn't even been appointed yet! In 25 years time we'd have a forum for some long dead Italian bloke who was once linked with the Ireland job.

    It was hardly going to cause a LOL reaction, more tongue in cheek to be honest.

    No see Xavi your mistaken, a long dead Italian who was the first world class manager Ireland ever had.

    i dont read the tabloids or the guardian either, to be honest neither is going to be 100% accurate on something that involves personalities and egos as large as capellos,beckhams and the president of real madrid, who im sure was quite happy for beckham to play and help and shift millions of jerseys......

    There was never any personal vendetta or fallout between the two as some here believe. When Beckham failed to sign a contract extension with Madrid and then signed for LA Galaxy, Capello naturally thought he would no longer be 100% committed to Madrid's cause, so decided not to figure him into his plans. Beckham proved him wrong in subsequent training sessions so Capello went against his president (who was personally offended by Beckham's contract snub) and restored him to the team, which proved to be a masterstroke and also showed great humility.

    this thread is soooo Irish.

    Capello is a better appointment than Trappa. But then the English job is a far far far more attractive and well paid job so they should be able to attract the top canditates. They did.

    We have done excellently attracting Trappa. But Capello is the man.

    what makes you say that though? i'm not too familar with either too be honest but they seem like very similar managers, quite conservative if i'm honest. the only obvious difference is Trappa has had an unsuccessful experience at international management, but seeing as Capello has had none so far you can't really say he'll be better.

    and Lloyd, the fact Venables mightn't be as good a coach will make sweet feck all different. it's good man management skills thats needed for the international game.

    Both equally good IMO. On balance very little between Trapattoni and Capello. Capello interestingly has huge respect for Trapattoni and ive heard speaks very highly of him and calls him 'Sir'. Trapattoni far more experienced but Capello younger (though only by 8 years?) and fresher.


    If you go through the various elements of both their history's it really does balance out even.

    If this falls through you will be able to hear the hearts of football fans around Ireland collectively break. Fingers crossed it goes ahead anyway.
