He's pretty much damned either way. The press wanted their pal Redknapp and they like managers to be calculating, like Mourinho, matey like Redknapp or snarling like Ferguson. There's no room for a reserved and respectful Hodgson. I don't think the time for rocking the boat is a couple of months before a tournament, best idea is to take those in form rather than trying to bed in the youth. This doesn't mean taking Terry and Ferdinand though fuck that.

Good appointment for England I reckon, if Catflap had been given the job everyone would start raving about how we're going to win the Euro's and the players would choke again. Going in with a mediocre team and a mediocre manager might give us a half decent chance of doing well for once.

I rolleyes-ed tbf.

But he did say that if was offered he'd love to do it again.. :doh:

oh dear....

http://www.football365.com/news/14460/7 ... the-future

Once again, England failed to progress beyond the quarter-final stage of a major tournament.

Whilst their last eight conquerors Italy and defending champions Spain prepare to do battle in the Euro 2012 final in Kiev on Sunday night, Hodgson is left to pick from the debris the positive aspects of his team's performances.

Although the majority of questioning has surrounded an obvious lack of technique given England had a minority of possession in every game, Hodgson does not view the situation in quite such bleak terms.

"We have to maintain that degree of pragmatism that we have always had in English football," he said.

"We also have to retain that fighting spirit and doggedness.

"We mustn't start throwing those qualities overboard just so you can come off the field and have someone say you've had more shots at goal.

"I don't want to emulate nations, no. I want England to be England.

"You can't say we are going to play like Spain because apart from anything, the Spanish grew up in different climatic conditions to us and have always had very different qualities.

"And let's not forget that for years and years Spain went to every major tournament and never achieved anything."

Hodgson's immediate aim is to reach the next World Cup in Brazil.

Yeah, and then they decided to do something about it by completely overhauling their youth system, which is why in 2010, they had 24,000 UEFA qualified coaches and England had less than 3,000. We respond to failure by blaming the manager and getting a new one in, then repeating the process in 4 years when he inevitably fails too.

yep, it's the coaching from 5 years old and up that's the problem in this country.
