I popped in on one of my irregular visits, sure that there would be a chance for a good old chat about Roy Hodgson, but nobody seems to have shown any interest.
Well, I suppose it is Roy Hodgson...

They are all hanging their heads in shame, because I was right when I said that the FA would never appoint 'arry while the earth was still revolving!

I was about to make a post to that precise effect Zero.
Characteristically though you beat me to it. Strutting popinjay...

Who is he and what is he for?

Some bloke that pays his tax and doesn't have a bank account in Monaco in the name of his
dog,

....and is literate - apparently one of his interests is world literature...

>> apparently one of his interests is world literature...
Uh-oh... how are his flying Kung Fu kicks on irritating members of the public? Literature and football make uneasy bedfellows I feel.

He cannot have anything to do with Association Football, then!

and speaks 3 or 4 languages

underestimated the man.
"In addition to his native English, he speaks fluent Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese, German and Italian, as well as some Korean, Danish, French and Finnish."

Potential Archbishop of Canterbury then !

If he picks any Arsenal player, he must be blind...

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day... ;)

The whole proposed appointment was rather amusingly referred to on the radio this morning as "a broadsheet man in a tabloid world". :-)

I think he`s very unassuming and underrated! - and with a lot more dignity than that "Crappello" - All in all I would think he`ll do a Stirling job in a quiet and efficient way, and at least he is English!!

Given the nationality of the winning Premier League Managers excludes any Englishman - ever - being an English Manager is no advert for quality.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_First_Division_and_Premier_League_winning_managers#Premier_League_.281992.E2.80.93present.29
And the Managers of the current first three clubs in the Premier League exclude any Englishman.. so 2012 is following on where 2011 left off.
The FA 's long term strategy is rather like playing darts blindfolded with the dartboard rotating at a random varying speed.. except the latter is likely by chance to win occasionally.

The problem for Hodgson is that the first bad result will bring the inevitable "It should have been 'Arry" headlines in the press. TBH, if you weigh the expectetions of the fans and the media against the talent available to the England manager anyone who takes the job must be bonkers.

Maybe - but I bet the pay is good.

Good luck to him he is crafty sold Hull a player who was injurie prone.
I didn't think it would be Redknapp to much luggage.

Having seen the overpaid wastrels here two years back, I must agree with you.
