England football manager

[CambCelt]

Roy Hodgson is expected to be presented as the new England manager at a Wembley news conference at 16:00 today.



A bit surprised that it's not Harry Redknapp. Good money for those who put £ on Hodgson at the bookies.

[Ben]

Redknapp is a chancer and not someone I'd want in charge of out national team.

I was hoping for Hodgson and I'm glad he's got it. Now I wait for the press to start photoshopping his face onto fruit and veg when things don't go perfectly at some point, twats.

[timey]

Yeah I much prefer Hodgson to Redknapp.

[CambCelt]

It's OK with me. Hodgson is good for the job.

'arry is happy at Spurs and Spurs are 'appy to have him.

WBA will be disappointed, though RH's contract was due to expire in the summer anyway.

I hope that Gerrard gets to be captain, for what it's worth.

[timey]

It's all irrelevant anyway, England will win bugger all.

[CambCelt]

It's all irrelevant anyway, England will win bugger all.

True.

We need to play Scotland or Wales to be sure of a win.

[timey]

I'd love to see the Home Internationals back, and then we could test that spurious theory once and for all.

[CambCelt]

Indeed.

We could (?) have the R.O.I. in as well to make it a fivesome.

[timey]

Good idea.

[Ben]

There's not enough time to fit in other friendlies really, we'd end up just playing each other all the time and nobody else except for in qualifying competitions.

As for Gerrard, I don't want that twat as England captain, but to be honest it doesn't really matter who does it, the captain does nothing on the pitch really except play like the others, but I'm sure we can find someone better than Gerrard.
