Capello's start date[edit]

stop putting 2007 as he doesn't start until January 2008, check the statement on the F.A. website. Skitzo (talk) 23:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.thefa.com/England/SeniorTeam/Archive/default.htm?i=2702&pf=m&t=n&t=pf when he starts his first day in the office is January. CorleoneSerpicoMontana (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Looked through, the FA website seems pretty emphatic on the subject. Fronsdorf (talk) 00:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• He is the England manager according to the FA. Fronsdorf (talk) 00:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Following his appointment as England manager..." http://www.thefa.com/England/SeniorTeam/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2007/12/Capello_quotes15Dec.htm Fronsdorf (talk) 00:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capello was removed, added back on. "Following his appointment as England manager..." CorleoneSerpicoMontana (talk) 23:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well technically he isn't manager until january, tho i didn't remove him. Skitzo (talk) 23:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please can I politely request that the continual edit-warring over Capello's start date now ceases. The problem appears to be caused by the unusual event of his being appointed in a different year to his starting work. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it appears that all are agreed that he was appointed in 2007 and is due to start work in 2008, however you can't agree on whether date of appointmentordate of starting work should be used. I can't think of a precedent for this off-hand so I think you should discuss it at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Fabio_Capello. Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 01:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know how "England nation football team" links to the article? What does everyone think of getting "Managers" to link to England national football team managers? Good idea, bad idea? faithless (^speak) 10:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, as there's already a parameter for this. I've added the link accordingly. --Jameboy (talk) 12:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
