Roy Hodgson

[Assassin]

Hodgson is just a clown and now we are not saddled with him, he is a great source of amusement

[Buzzo]

Buzzo,
can you take out Hodgson's face, and put, say........., Alan Partidge's on it................thanks.

yes very good. This is actually starting to mirror a standard briefing and project from any number of my clients.

[Mattshark]

Well I was ****ing gutted. It was the most blatantly obvious disaster-waiting-to-happen in the history of football. He's pure ****.

I'm also pretty sure AA's view was a minority one.

Albion surprised to bag Hodgson
Thursday 17th February 2011 10:19

West Brom sporting director Dan Ashworth admits the club were 'surprised' to land Roy Hodgson as Roberto Di Matteo's successor.

The new head coach penned an 18-month deal at The Hawthorns last week to succeed Roberto Di Matteo following the Italian's sacking after a poor run of results.

Hodgson himself was shown the door by Liverpool last month following a six-month stint at the helm after failing to bring the success he enjoyed with Fulham to Anfield.

His spell on Merseyside followed an impressive period at Craven Cottage, where he guided the Cottagers to the Europa League final last season.

Albion technical and sporting director Ashworth admits he did not expect the 63-year-old, whose first game in charge will be Sunday's Black Country derby against Wolves, to fill the Baggies post.

Ashworth said in the Daily Mirror: "I was surprised to get Roy.

"When I did meet him I was there three-and-a-half hours and I talked to him about our club DNA and how the club is set up. He then told me all about his 36 years in European Football and how much he loved his own voice"

"He's been touted as a potential England manager and has fabulous experience in Europe and with European players.

"That all helps. It is a massive coup for us."

I'm even going to put shin pads in and wear a pair of boots. I'll probably go for moulded as Mrs Hodge won't like the studs on her rug.

I've even got Mrs Hodge spending the afternoon painting the lounge in Sparta colours with a big Sparta badge in the middle of the main wall.

PMA and visualisation is such a fundamental part of sports psychology and Bodge seems to eschew them completely and utterly. What a fool.

England newsHodgson in frame to replace CapelloFebruary 18, 2011
Email Print By Harry Harris, Football Correspondent

ESPNsoccernet understands Roy Hodgson is gathering support amongst Football Association powerbrokers as they consider potential replacements for Fabio Capello.

Roy Hodgson is the reigning Manager of the Year thanks to his exploits with Fulham
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is believed to be the current frontrunner to replace the Italian when he leaves his post following the conclusion of England's 2012 campaign.

However, it is understood that Hodgson, who has just been appointed as Roberto Di Matteo's replacement at West Brom following a disappointing spell at Liverpool, is also in contention.

The FA is insistent it is very committed to Capello while he remains in position and it may be some time before a definitive shortlist of replacements is drawn up. Indeed, the subject was not on the agenda in the first board meeting held by new FA chairman David Bernstein on Thursday.

But Hodgson is regarded within the FA as a safe pair of hands and of course fits the criteria of being English, which the FA is keen to fulfil if possible. Sunderland's Steve Bruce has also been earmarked as a possible contender.

Former Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill, and indeed his replacement Gerard Houllier, are also under consideration, but Redknapp remains the favourite after a week that saw him mastermind a 1-0 victory against Milan in San Siro.

An FA insider told ESPNsoccernet: "Everyone is assuming the FA have made up their minds. This is a completely incorrect assumption. There are a lot of factors the FA need to consider, and they may not be as clear cut as everyone might assume.

"The FA has a new chairman, and much will depend on his opinion, his outlook, and how he wants to go about looking at the criteria to find the next England manager, whenever that time comes."

Meanwhile, it is understood that Bernstein's first board meeting produced an agreement in principle that two independent board members will be appointed by the FA - a concession to pressure from the Government.

It is understood that the issue was given cautious approval by the board. The biggest problem is winning over the full FA Council, which is generally opposed to radical change.
