Hodgson - I dont know why I'm here; smint?

[Cormack74]

He's such a waffly ****er, it's like white noise.

[Vermilion]

Assistant for Klopp perhaps ??









Needs someone to pick up his dry-cleaning.

Nah, too much to think about for Roy there, he'd only get to the cleaners and not know what the **** he's doing there.

[paulg]

So after months of reflection... he's still completely deluded.

And he'll get a job that could / should go to a younger person who actually may have some idea what they want to do.

**** clubs be affraid.....be very affraid!!!

Former England boss Roy Hodgson is keen to return to management despite the embarrassing showing with the Three Lions at Euro 2016.

The 69-year-old has been out of work since resigning in the wake of England’s humiliating Euro 2016 elimination at the hands of Iceland.

But his experiences with the national team have done anything but dissuade him from looking to extend his 40-year coaching career.

“I feel fit,” he said on Sky Sports News.

“I feel that if anything I think you become a better coach – if wisdom is a word which is at all relevant in football, I would like to think it is, you do become a bit wiser with the years and you perhaps make a few less mistakes with players and dealing with players that you would have made when you were young, thought you knew it all and thought that you were invincible.

“I certainly don’t feel that I couldn’t handle the day-to-day work and the day-to-day pressures.

“I just have to wait and see what comes along. I’ve not been in any particular rush I must say. I’ve never had a long spell out of the game, it’s always been a month or two and then back in again and sometimes not even that. The Smints are at the ready and i am wawing to go

“So these four or five months won’t do me any harm. But I’m hoping that something will come along that will really interest me and the people who are inviting me perhaps to join them are aware of what they’re getting and they’re getting what they want.”

Hodgson, who put his side’s shock 2-1 loss to minnows Iceland down to “fear” spreading throughout the team, backed the appointment of Gareth Southgate, the man now in charge of the national team.

“I endorse the appointment the same way as everyone else has,” said Hodgson.

“It’s great that he comes into the job with such a positive perception of him as a person, him as a coach, and his experience of the FA and what he’s cabapble of doing.

“I think the team’s very good, I think we have good players, I think they know what they’re doing. I think that they’re dangerous going forward, there’s a lot of players who are very dangerous, who can cause all opposition problems, but most important of all they are strong defensively, they get back quickly, they have the five-yard furies, they win the ball back quickly in the Barcelona manner.

“These are all things I think which make for a good football team. If Gareth, as I believe has happened so far, can keep a good atmosphere, can keep the players wanting to play for England, wanting to continue to improve, I can only see a very positive future.”

His last suggestion for manager worked out well

) true

[dww]

I called this the day Hodge stepped down. Given how unappealing the job is, there was never going to be a top class appointment.

This should finally shut him up. Deliver what you have said you could, i.e. intelligent progressive football, now you have the squad to implement it or shut the F up and piss off back to the championship playing thugby football. Win : Win

I actually think it will prove to be a good appointment.

Other than Conte have there been any really top class managers of international sides in the last couple of World Cup cycles?

It's also worth noting that one of the most successful at club level, Fabio Capello, has underachieved pretty consistently in international football.

Former Football Association director David Davies believes Sir Alex Ferguson has influenced the appointment of Sam Allardyce as the new England manager, because of his relationship with former Manchester United chief executive David Gill.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Yep. Won't happen though will it.

Allardyce will get three years and then it's ripe for Bruce who will handover to Pardew in 2021.
