Oh dear - Capello must be despairing if the rumours on the Betfair football forum are anything to go by ...

The bloke handed over a £96k cheque to a campaign group, not a charity.

My apologies.

I'm a cynic at the best of times, but can't people just give the guy a break for once? It's a fine gesture and should be applauded, not criticised.

I've given him a break over the fact I defend his record while manager of Liverpool.

I'm not going to praise him for a cheap shot publicity stunt after he's been sacked though.

I think he's an excellent manager, but also a bit of a prick. This is a good example of what a prick he is.

I agree. Some people will stoop low, but to say he'd use something so hurtful towards the fans to score points is pathetic. He's gone, he's left pretty admirably and he gave back a little of what the club and supporters had gave him. I'm all for theories, but accusing him of point scoring here is pretty disgusting, I just think he was ending what was a fantastic relationship with most supporters on a more positive, thankful note.
