Capello did a better job

This isn't the lower leagues or relegation battle, without talent a "geled" team isn't enough. Harry is doing well this season but it didn't always work out that well for him. A West Ham player i knew use to call me to go for a jog. Said Harry was never there for training and didn't bother about tactics, just showed up a game times.

Anyway, few months away from the Euro this could be good a thing, always a honeymoon period when the players try harder for a new manager.
