Roy Hodgson

[Chrono]

England have been unwatchable since '96. I hate watching England and although I'd love England to do well they never do so I'm more than happy to watch the Hodgson circus over the Cappello one.

I don't think being a tactical genius or coach is the most important part of the job. Team spirit, confidence and motivation probably are and I think he's do alright in that regard. And if we're going to lose, as we do, at least it would be done with more attacking football.

He's probably the best English candidate, but that doesn't say much for the quality of English managers.

I don't care too much for the English national team, but I'd look at Wenger for the job.

[Kenneth]

Yep

[Vermilion]

Well I appear to be in a minority of one, but I think Harry would do decent job as England manager.

A minority of one, really ? Haven't you been reading the sports pages, or listening to the expert pundits ? It's a foregone conclusion now...'Arry' Will/Would win everthing with England.

edit: Ok, you meant on here, did'nt you.

The FA are a ****ing joke.

Number one on their criteria is that the next manager has to be English despite there being, without doubt, the worst set of candidates available in living memory.

Surely, number one on their criteria should be the best manager available and willing to take the job. A Hiddink type for example.

Funny how the whole of the country has decided that Capello is a **** manager despite his glittering CV but would be happy for Redknapp, Hodgson, Allardyce etc to take his place - a list of candidates that between them don't even have a tenth of the honours that Capello has

We need to get realistic in this country and actually see a Quarter final at a World Cup or European Championships as being fairly successful with the limited players we have available (at least currently) instead of a disastrous failure.

If England had their best eleven available and on form theyve got a outside chance of doing well, even winning, the Euros but that would only be possible if they avoided Spain and Germany completely which would be doubtful.

Depending on the draw i think getting out of the group would be decent enough, a semi final being Utopia!

Personally I think it would be funny as **** if any of those got the England job, an awful list of 'candidates'

It's up there with Mike Bassett.

[RichC]

how can you say that

'Arry is simply a managerial genius do you not read the papers!
Hodgson has 36, yes 36 years experience and is the King of the LMA
Bruce simply hasn't been backed properly and is clearly the next big manager

That's the risk and it would indeed be a nightmare. If he even vaguely succeeded it would be intolerable. But I think the risk is very small. Very small indeed.

He wouldnt vaguely succeed because the public and media's perception is that England can win a major tournament - so that's the standard any england manager is judged by. None of them will ever match upto the standard because the team is bobbins.

So every england manager ends up looking **** or painted as being **** by the media.

Eriksson had won in Serie A, McLaren did well with Boro and won the title in Holland, Capello's won everything. Yet all three have been derided and painted as **** managers.

The common denominator is the England team....who are ****, regardless of who the manager is.

Bring on Bodgson.
