Let me kick-off this discussion first! I strongly believe that Capello is the man for England and the FA has made a very good decision of giving him the charge of the team.
Forza Capello =D

Helgard, Schuster has found everything in place after Capello was sacked. And Schuster has admitted this - just read an article today about this!! Also Schuster had an incredible budget while Capello had to content with what was available. When Capello joined Madrid dressing room was a disaster. Incredibly he won la liga...Madrid are doing great this year, schuster as well, we have a great squad but I 100% believe that thanks to Capello that we are were we are today! England will do well next World Cup - TRUST ME. Yes I follow closely Serie A so I know what this man is capable of doing. HALA Capello, HALA Madrid

It is people like Helgard that a great coach like Capello was not appreciated and sacked. They do not know the difference between real talent and fakes. I echoed what RealKings said, it was Capello who laid the foundations for Schuster.

Many said England will play boring defensive football if Capello is going to be the coach. Well, let me tell you that Capello comes with a package. What England needs now is not just someone who can give you results as the problem is not so simple. They need someone to heal their fighting spirit, teamwork and someone who is powerful enough to bench anybody he wants, including the superstars.

Many forgot that he came to Real Madrid the second time to heal a club which had totally lost the confidence, the fighting spirit, the desire to win and teamwork. Three suffering, difficult trophiless years and fans like me already lost any faith that any coach that comes by will be able to solve the problem. For me, that La Liga win was not the biggest contribution that Capello did. His contribution was to heal the team spirit so they believe in themselves again.

Boring and defensive football? You have to give him time. Real Madrid took almost 1 season to gel and play beautiful football again. The last stretch of the last season's games were the most exciting matches I had ever watched since Vicente del Bosque was fired. Real Madrid for once after three years were invincible and impossible to lose and played one of the most exciting high scoring, no defence football that was so amazing to watch. That was Capello's greatest achievement and he delivered in 1 season. What Schuster inherited now is a healed team, a much easier job of a team finally coming out of crisis after wandering in the wilderness for three years. They said they sacked Capello because he was a defensive coach and Schuster will play more entertaining football. To me, Schuster is playing an even more boring low scoring football now. ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Mourinho's case was the same in Chelsea. What he inherited was Claudio Ranieri's team which is almost completed built to get ready to win trophies. He had a more easier life, just like Schuster now. Capello's second greatest achievement was to get Ronaldo out of the club. Ronaldo to me is already done and sacrificed many strikers' careers in Real Madrid. Raul, Morientes, Owen and Portillo were just some of the players who were forced to play behind him to deliver him assists. No coach on the planet dares to sack Ronaldo because he was the El Phenomenon. To me, Ronaldo is slow, losing passion, standing alone at the front just waiting for the ball and extremely lazy as well as showing no interest. I salute Capello for the capability to get him out. It was the best decision he ever done in Madrid. As for Beckham, I would say Capello was wrong but later admitted his mistake, which pushed Beckham to play one of his best footballs in his career.

Now England is gonna be a force to reckon with in Word football. I still cannot understand the decision to let Capello go immediately after winning La Liga. Was it a case of personal differances getting in the way of the best interests of the club? As to England, well, well done! :D
