I Like This Capello Bloke

I'm not sure how much is true as it is the Sun after all, but there's some radical changes there. Fair play tut t'Iti for sorting those silly, jumped up boys out!

FABIO CAPELLO has laid down the law ? and left England?s stars quaking.

The ruthless Italian issued strict new rules as he prepares for tomorrow?s Wembley showdown with Switzerland.

As players assembled at the team hotel in Watford, they were confronted by a noticeboard telling them:

 

Lateness will not be tolerated, room service is banned and mobiles can only be used in bedrooms.

Players must eat together in smart dress and must wear team blazers when in public and at matches.

Players will be called by their surnames.

No WAGS, relatives or agents are allowed to visit.

 

One insider said: ?Capello has turned the hotel into a military camp.?

The England players are still feeling the shock of Capello?s decision to axe David Beckham for tomorrow?s friendly, denying him a 100th cap.

And even established internationals Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard have been left with no doubts as to who is the boss.

Ferdinand said: ?He calls me and a lot of the other players by our surnames. His coaching staff call us by surname as well. That?s the way it is.

Gerrard, expected to captain Capello?s first team tomorrow, said: ?Fabio is keeping us all on our toes.

?As long as there is a big respect between the manager and his players, I don?t think it?s important he?s not close to us.

?It?s not about enjoying yourself with the manager, it?s about seriousness and getting results in an England shirt.?

Be surprised if we don't do well under this lad. A few egos are in for a bruising :good:

Don't suppose there's any chance he can reduce their salaries to say ?500 a week?

 

Or arrange a friendly in Helmand province Afghanistan?

 

Agreed though it's a good start. Read somewhere else that McClaren used to go in goal sometimes during kickabouts. Probably wearing them Kenny Everett style foam hands I bet.

F?ck the England team and the ponces who are picked for every squad, whether they've been playing or not.

 

I remember Sven starting off and he gave poeple like Chris Powell a chance (as he deserved one, for playing so well for his club) but before you knew it, he was taking f?cking orders off Becks, Lamps & Stevie G and we were sh?t again.

 

I'm glad we didn't qualify, as another summer with those sl?ggy WAGS on the front of every single newspaper gets f?cking tedious.

Take it the face painting is off tomorrow night then?

:D

 

If he'd gone in goal for some of the Euro games the shitbags might have qualified.

:p

thats mr capello to you son

Capello is great news for English football, he seems a throwback to Sir Alf Ramsey, strict disciplinarian, the team comes first, no ego's, formal clothing for meals and get togethers, I might start watching England again because I have great faith in his ethos.

Ole Big Ead could do a better job than McClaren. Even now.

A two year too late appointment in my book. But welcome none the less.

I'm with you there, Mounts. Starting to feel that supporting England might be a good thing again - at last. Less of a 'chosen few' circus, and more of an international football team.

Preferably a few kicked a*ses as well as bruised egos hopefully.

I've said it before and why the hell not, I'll say it again. Capello or no Capello, the only solution is to take all Premier League footballers, regardless of nationality, cattle prod them into large Maersk containers and bulldoze them into the sea. This is one of a number of initiatives you will see take place during the early days of my national leadership.

Asley Cole was reportedly delighted at having the mobile phone consigned to the bedroom.
