Yeah, I guess I'm guilty of double-standards in that respect. But Rafa had my full support and belief for the first three or four seasons he was at Liverpool; he was also making those kind of decisions on a weekly basis, all year round, whereas Capello only sees the squad for a few weeks each year. Add to that the fact that the England team is full of utter cunts; that they ALWAYS play like useless, lazy, spineless twats in World Cup finals; and that, quite frankly, I don't really care whether they win or lose, and those are my main reasons for not blaming Capello for the way we're playing this summer.
I'd take him as Liverpool manager in a heartbeat, especially as he'd have something to prove.
[/quote]Its not in any way double standards.
One manager 6 years into a 5 year plan lost 19 games and finished 7th in the league and lost every other competition he was in for the past 4 years.
The other has not yet lost a competetive game in the ONLY tournament he has been in charge of. If they go out then he will shoulder his share of the blame, but at this minute in time the differences between the two situations are legion.
