capriccioso 2,545 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Actually, if he can replicate his track record with no-hope clubs like Fulham, he could do well with a relatively no-hope country. Give him a big national job where the country is expected to do more than avoid embarrassment and he'll fuck it up.On another note, why don't the FA appoint Jonathan Foreigner again? Over in Australia we've also got a dearth in terms of good domestic managers, probably even worse than England and we've been able to punch above our weight by appointing European managers.

Madmax 9,219 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Considering Hodgson's experience in national team management and his record at mediocre teams like Fulham and West Brom (no disrespect ..) and the fact that a glance at the England squad reveals them to be no more than a bunch of mediocre players plus Rooney, it's a good choice.

manpe 10,861 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The question is will the players respect him enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 It's probably for the best as far as Harry's concerned, it's not like he would been able to make head or tail of the appointment letter anyway, what with his illiteracy et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 All the best to him.Didn't want Redknapp in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Roy Hodson for England manager? Weally?!I don't believe he is good enough. Harry must of said he's staying put because he seemed to be the only choice for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Maybe the FA passed on Harry because of what they'd have to pay him and Spurs for compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 They are going for their Plan B.Harry was obviously top on the list but the 10m asked by Spurs has forced the FA to reconsider.Have nothing against Roy so I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think 'Arry made the smart choice; he knew that he is probably not going to do too well with the national team, so he decides to stick to what he has done well with and leaves everyone wondering what might have been if he had taken the job.

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ok... time to do some research on WBAs formation and how he does things.... I wonder who he'll pick, be epic if he left Gerrard and Rooney at home. Might get Foster to get his arse here as Harts back up. Should be interesting anyway, kinda excited now in a sick way.
