FA approach hodgson westbrom give permission to talk!!

[Hillian1]

I am distinctly underwhelmed by the appointment of Hodgson, and that is probably the most positive I've felt about the England team for a long while now.

If that makes any sense at all.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Its only the press that wanted him really.

I don't know - there were a few on NSC who saying we should go for him.

Congrats, the best Englishman for the job by a mile, I see Redknapp has come out today having ago at the England players not caring.

Bitter much

But Redknapp is right about England players caring more for their club careers than their England prospects. However, as part of managing the country, it would have been his job to try and change that. Ultimately, this situation doesn't take much analysing: for a footballing nation of our resources and size, we have underperformed for decades now, and the English public are sick of it. They perceive part of the problem to be that Champions League winning players don't give a toss because they are so outclassed against similar sized European powers, or come off at half time against Andorra with the score at 0-0. And it is a feeling that is magnified by the media in this country, who big them up way beyond their talent levels so that even the players themselves believe the bullshit, only to knock them down after every predictable crushing disappointment.

A gutsy manager picking underrated players and THINKING tactically might completely change this situation. If we go into this tournament with a young, underrated, but naiive side playing exciting, possession football, even if we went out underservedly in the semis or quarters, I would still be delighted. I just want the pride back in my nation's football team.

Rednapp might have been great - but we would not have moved on from the Lampard/Gerald/Terry generation. It would have been same-old same-old. Nightmare.

Confirmed Rooney will go to the Euros

Of course he is right, but he is already trying to put pressure on Woy as he believes (wrongly) he should have got the job.

Woy is more likely to bring pride back to England than Redkanpp, He is a tactical dinosour.

I guess we will find out how much Roy really rates Zamora now!

He wouldnt of, he really wouldnt of.

He has also alienated Bent

I'm not sure how pointing out that England players prefer their club careers is putting Hodgson under pressure to be honest. Apart from that, I agree with you over Redknapp. I can't believe how he has managed to progress his career to the extent that he ever got the gig at moneybags Tottingham.

 

[Simster]

He wouldnt of, he really wouldnt of.

He has also alienated Bent

And he'd have started one trick pony Jermaine Defoe in virtually every game.

are you not a spurs fan? don't seem to like him much?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

He doesn't pick him for Spurs, so that's an odd assumption.

Maybe i am looking to much into it, but having to have to deal with the shite that has come out of his mouth since he took over as that effect on you.

Most fans want rid of him for a number of reason, not all result based.

He is a chancer, Levy brought him in as a firefighter and he got lucky with the squad he had when he came in.

People moaning we not got twitchy

Twitchy Comp 10mill

Woy comp 0mill

Woy wages are half that of capellos where as twitchy would have been the same as capellos i would think.

Good business really

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Roy comes across as a really nice man and i like the fact that he talks about being English and how important the team is to the country.

 

[Simster]

He doesn't pick him for Spurs, so that's an odd assumption.

Possibly, but I wouldn't even take Defoe, I just don't rate him.

And Redknapp would've taken him - Redknapp is to Defoe what Peter Taylor is to Junior Lewis.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

And he'd have started one trick pony Jermaine Defoe in virtually every game.

Doesnt start him at Spurs because we play 4511 with Ade and Defoe is to thick/lazy/unskilled to play the lone striker role.

I would assume he would have played the same formation for England with Rooney in the VDV role so it would have been Crouch!

whats that got to do with anything? Why should I care about the FA's finances?

Exactly. And that's because Redknapp is SHIT.
