Re: Liverpool Thread(I've Had Enough!!)
The first argument would be an elegant way to get rid of Gerrard. I know most people in here don't like this, but Gerrard is becoming a burden for Liverpool IMO, just like Carragher. Give them both a testimonial and a place in the legend (which they fully deserve), maybe some post at the club.
The second is more important. I can't see it working if Capello doesn't speak English.
I agree.....people like Gerrard and Carragher need to be moved on....
they were legends..and deserve their stature in the club history.
But now...Carragher is too old.....Gerrard is a liability to the team shape
They are too powerful within the club
and are not powerful on the pitch !!
Dalglish was a legend 20 years ago....and the only reason he is
still in the job is because of the fans' sentimental attachment
to the man based on goodwill.....and not actual results.
This is the problem with Liverpool.....we are still buried in the past...
And what we need is a new start.....
I would not mind Capello....he has proven himself winning league titles
everywhere he has gone....Serie A and La Liga....two difficult leagues.
I'm sure his English is not too bad....having managed England.
He has an advantage in that he has seen many English players...
and is not a stranger to the English game.
From wikipedia...
As a manager, Capello has the distinction of winning the domestic league title with every club he has coached throughout his career. In his first five seasons as a manager he won four Serie A titles with Milan, where he also won the 1993–94 UEFA Champions League, defeating Barcelona 4–0 in a memorable final. He then spent a year at Real Madrid, where he won the La Liga title at his first attempt, and in 2001 led Roma to their first league title in 18 years. Capello also won two titles at Juventus (which were later stripped after the Calciopoli scandal), and in 2006 returned to Real Madrid, where he won another La Liga title. Overall he has won a major league championship in seven (or nine, counting the two revoked titles with Juventus) of his 16 seasons as a coach.
