IMHO he's a better option than Redknapp who's the most over-rated manager I've ever seen in my life. The FA are retarded though with this 'got to be English' rule or whatever. Fuck that shit. English managers are rubbish. There are some talented ones coming up but they're still with smaller teams and nowhere near ready for such a big stage. The media - as always - is going to ruin this for everyone. They're printing such disgusting stuff about Hodgson and those fans who didn't even mind him at first will slowly find themselves being brainwashed by the media. The players as well. It doesn't matter whether your manager is Mourinho or Hodgson, he's still your fucking manager and you should give him the utmost respect. But with the entire country practically laughing at him, it will be hard to see how they can still look at him with a straight face. Especially considering that most of them are utter twats. I think it would have been better for him if he stayed at WBA but can understand why he took the job, obviously. I like him. He was terribly treated by the cunt scousers. Good luck Roy, but can't see this working out.
