HarryBosch Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'd have pweferred Pardew but happy with that. He should have had it years ago. Nice to see the FA show a bit of common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Poor decision, he showed with Inter and Liverpool he can't handle high profile jobs with pressure. So why give him the highest pressured job in world football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why give him the highest pressured job in world football? No compensation needed as his contract expires 30 June. I'm just glad it is not 'Arry.

Twisbrogan Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 No transfer market in international football so Harry would be next to useless. Hodgson has earns an opportunity by doing well in a number of countries over a number of years. Harry's media mates will now be telling us that it's the wrong choice and preparing to rip Woy to shreds. Especially that Ollie Holt. Muppet.

Lags Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Hodgson for me above dodgy Ary any day of the week. It was the Liverpool big time Charlies that did for Hodgson during his time there and of course Dalglish. Hodgson is more international savy and holds all the right badges Also embrasses international systems.. Far better choice than sand banks Ary. Found innocent yes of the crimes they tried to make stick, not the ones they couldn't bring. Edited April 29, 2012 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamSheridan Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'll join in the bunch of people saying this is the right decision. The last time I felt this much of a good decision was being made was when we appointed Wadsworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 They were talking about the England job on Radio 5 during the Spurs game and Graham Taylor mentioned Roy Hodgson. The presenter's response was "WHAT? Seriously?", like it was the stupidest idea ever expressed. He was audibly struggling not to laugh. If i remember right Taylor's reasoning was basically "he's a yes man and he'll be cheap". Personally I still think the FA should go for Maradona.

leeslover Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Good choice. How the :censored: the gangster ever managed to be the front runner is beyond me, it's like he won the Champions League for Spurs on a shoestring. He's spent a fortune at Spurs and bankrupted Portsmouth for an FA Cup and won nothing else bar a promotion with Bournemouth. At least Hodgson won't make a prick out of himself when we go out in the quarter finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamains Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The FA was never going to give it to Harry not in a million years. There's no smoke with out fire and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Woy Hodgson has alweady indicated who his star pwayers could be in Euwo 2012! Hart will be first choice keeper but he wants Wobert Gween as back up. Ashwey Cole, Gwen Johnson and Micah Wichards in defence, with Gewward, Cweverley and Ashwey Young in Midfield............ and then Stuwwidge and Wooney up Fwont!

oafcprozac Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think this is a case of wait and see. Redknapp is not all that, he's one top four finish with Spurs and an FA Cup. Hodgson has a coaches pedigree and a manner that is not too dissimilar to Sir Bobby. Redknapp's an old school manager. Hodgson is every bit your continental coach. The Liverpool fans never wanted him and he was not given a real chance to make his mark at Anfield but he's coached all over Europe and been successful at the majority of his clubs and more importantly he has coached three other national sides with some success - particularly the excellent Swiss side who performed decently at USA '94, in a strong qualifying group that included Romania, US and Columbia they lost to Spain in the round of 16. People should give the guy a chance now, will the press? Not a chance…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBlue Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Don't mind Hodgson at all, didn't get a chance at Liverpool, he wasn't who they wanted and they let him know it until the day he left. He's a good coach and a classy guy. Good luck to him because i wouldn't want that job in a million years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) who is the next Engalnd captain? Gerrard is more than likley the first choice unless ive missed something Woy and SG didnt exactly see eye to eye at Liverpool according to reports which isnt really a good start if im honest i am not that bothered who is in charge except for Stuart Pearce, he is not good enough to manage such a big job and at he moment he is certain to manage the under 21's, the olympic team and for some reason he is going to announce a pre euro squad! how the hell has he managed to get himself into that position???

I hope it is Scott Parker! you will be very dissapointed then imo Gerrard will more than likley be captain and with no Wilshire availbale until next season who would you play in the middle? I think Parker will play but he wont be captain Edited April 30, 2012 by palmer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown23 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm a little bit miffed with the FA over this, having previously said they would wait till after the euro's to appoint a full time manager. if they waited till after the euro's there'd be no pressure on the interim boss and to some extent the players. Appointing someone now with 42 days to go until our first game hardly gives Roy any time to establish a squad and make it his own. Plus, if we don't get out of the group I bet the vast majority of the media will be calling for Hodgson to be sacked cause he didn't win the competition, possibly ending his England stint before its over. I don't think anyone the FA choose is going to exactly transform the team, the issue is the players and at the minute our current crop simply isn't good enough to warrant much better than our standard quarter final "failings". Having said that I hope Roy can do us all proud and at least get the team playing with a bit of fight and passion, thats all I ask of our national side. Wishful thinking I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I always think that the England job just needs a good man manager, motivator and somone with a game plan when you come up against a decent team. All the players know how to play football. They just need to be motivated. Then when you come up against The Germans or the Spanish you just need a smart game plan. Something like shoot directly from corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
