Capello is 61 today -

We should get him a card.

[DeeGame]

Dam right Livvy, he was all out during the season and sure he made mistakes with Beckham but he put them right and admitted he was wrong, sign of a good manager.

He wasn't wrong as it gave Beckham a reality check

[Chiccada]

He has had amazing players at every club he has had and has still managed to play ****e football with them all.Baresi,Maldini,the Dutch trio,Hierro,Raul,Nedved,Del Piero etc etc.What summed him up as a manager for me was in Turin in the quarter final of the Champions league versus us.They never went for it and sat and sat and waited to nick a goal and did'nt.They say great managers are a mirror image of how there team plays and he is a boring **** and so were his teams.A better version of Houllier and that is'nt a great compliment.

Lets be honest, if he was managing LFC and won us the title. You wouldnt give a rats ass how we got it, i know I wouldnt.

[Parm]

Capello has won the league for every club he had managed.

I would take the swop.

I'd defo put some question marks against the Juve titles!!

[cobain]

Capello is one of the best managers around. A swoop wouldn't do us any harm, but I still like Rafa more and I hope he continues as Liverpool manager.

[Ron_Mexico]

capello is a great manager and has proven it over and over

he is a great stabiliser, it's a major reason why i'd want him if rafa were to leave. he's done it twice at madrid, starting the revival in the 90's and coming again to deal with all the galatico backlash and still finding success

he's won with roma, during an era in italian football when some serious money was being spent by all the big clubs and hte league was very strong

add to those achievements his record with milan and juve.... i dont understand how someone could think he's not a great manager

If Rafa was to leave then Capello is the one I would want.

[Red Chilli]

I don't think there is a manager in work today who has a better record than Capello. Incredible record.

[fah-q]

Plus his hair is nice and curly

[EST_1892]

Seems that most here would be happy with him if the unthinkable should happen, But Capello has only managed (apart from Roma) the biggest of big clubs in Europe.

What if he was here and didn't have the Galacticos players and financial backing he has been so accustomed to?

Is he a good man manager (he P*ssed off Beckham,Totti & Ronaldo... possibly more). Can he do it if money WAS an object to sign the best in the business???

A lot of reports from Spain suggest he hasn't been the force he was and that the recovery came after senior members of the team had more input in selection etc. If true and the Beckham incident would lend the rumours credence then it is understandable that he is going to be made to leave and I wouldn't want him. If it is merely press speculation and bull**** them he would be a great candidate for us if Rafa ever left.

At the start of the season he played Diarra and Emerson in the centre and they lacked creativity and Emerson especially was booed and got it so bad that he did'nt want to play at home.The fans got the white hankies out and the Senior players took it into there own hands.Fitness was'nt the reason they won alot of games late,it was because the negative blockers he has were subbed and Guti,Higuain and co were brought on.Even on Sunday he was forced to bring on Guti,Reyes and Higuain and that won the game.They bribed there way to the league with Juve,Roma he built a team capable of winning one league and a team we beat well in the cl and he left cos he knew that was as far as they could go and he took over from the great Sacchi and could'nt really go wrong.He is capable of winning a domestic league by playing the worst kind of football alright though.I am sticking by that:bird:

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has declared Chelsea as the strongest team in Europe this season.
Despite Manchester United's triumph in the Premiership and AC Milan's Champions League success, Capello declared: "The strongest team currently in Europe - for personality, quality and mentality, is Chelsea."

On his championship-winning season with Real Madrid, Capello added: "Since I arrived I've felt like a salmon ... constantly swimming up stream."

So he supports the worst kind of football in England.

or he's angling for the Chelsea job?

[Neil Young]

Never.He is a horrible coach.Negative and cynical.Real did'nt win playing his way.If they listened to him they would'nt have won.Barca blew it and Madrid just went for it when the chance arose.Cant stand the guy

Crap reply.His record is something you cant argue with,but his brand of football is crap.Bottom line is Rafa is our manager but I just said I dislike Capello even if he has a great record with top clubs.We will agree to disagree

Any stick to beat him with, eh?

Apart from getting his teams to play effective football, without going gung-ho like the prima donnas at Barcelona and, previously, Real Madrid, what has Capello done to upset you so much?

It all sounds very like Liverpool in the seventies and early eighties to me.
