Should Mark Hughes take us through thirty three games this season and have a record of Winning 17 Drawing 11 and only losing Five with a goal difference of +28 I believe he would be exalted and cherished as a legend in the history of Stoke City!
And yet Hodgson is constantly berated by silly Stoke fans because he has chosen not to select a Stoke player that not many other fans from other clubs would select. Get real!
Roy Hodgson has a speech impediment. Imagine this was your child! I'm sure you would be in school with something to say about bullies! Let the man get on with his job which is difficult at worst!

Sadly he's incompetent at it. Maybe not picking players based on what most fans think (most just follow the big clubs and wouldn't have seen Ryan more than once or twice a season) and who's opinions are driven by what the media tell them, and instead just pick players according to ability and the displays they put may help? FFS, He couldn't be bothered to come to the Brit the other Monday to see the game. He's paid almost £10,000/day and he couldn't be bothered to even turn up to the only top flight game in the country. |

I reckon I could coach a team of top flight professionals to beat San Marino.
Bit harder in the Prem.

He's a decent mid table Prem manager but a proven failure in big jobs.

Woy will get us to the Euro finals, then pick his favourites, players who will be past it and players who are not good enough, then we will be home early with more bullshit about why we were knocked out.  |

Most of the teams England have beaten under Hodgson wouldn't survive in the Championship, Hughes' record is measured against Premier League teams. Hodgson is a complete & utter wanker.

Is this some kind of wind up?
If he picked Ryan every week he'd still need sacking for playing a two man midfield at the World Cup.

If we were playing the English equivalent of San Marino and Slovakia every other game i'd expect a much better record.

So any cretin like the OP who thinks it would be a 'difficult job' to coach a squad of Premier League players to beat a team of people who must only be born in Lichfield needs their head examined. |

You know when people say things like "not wishing to sound disrespectful" and then go on to say something disrespectful.
Well, i'm that kinda chap, so, not wishing to sound disrespectful to the other teams in England's qualification group but if Roy Hodgson picked his squad of players solely from League 2. England would still waltz through to the Euro's. That's how tricky the task currently facing him is.
I don't know if this has owt to do with this bizarre opening post or not, but then i didn't know where to stick it. So i'll stick it in here, where the mice won't get at it.

Let the man get on with his job which is difficult at worst! I think you meant "difficult at best"  Although perhaps in retrospect this is a qualifying group so benign "difficult at worst" sums it up rather well  |

I've been to San Marino. It's a beautiful place. Tiny and enchanting. Hardly space to fit in a football ground where they could train  even ind if my seven year old twins could manage England against San Marino and beat them handsomely |

Woy should be made to visit every single ground at least once a season as part of his lucrative contract. Never thought he was the right choice, and hes proving me right!

He's the wrong man for the job simple as that. The World Cup farce was enough proof. How he's still in the job staggers me. Can only think the FA don't want another huge payoff.

I can only assume that you think it is possible at present to win the World Cup or the Euros with the correct manager. Hodgson is as good as anything we could possibly employ at the moment. He deserves to be allowed to run the team till after the Euro finals.

He only 'deserves' it because a bunch of incompetent old buffers in their gentlemen's club in London deemed it appropriate to offer the useless old owl faced yes man a lengthy contract. He 'deserves' to have his contract honoured but the FA deserve everything they get as a result of it. |

Surely, people with a parent or a grandparent born in Lichfield and people who spent 5 years in full time education in Lichfield are also eligible to represent Lichfield at international level? You've probably missed out a thousand or so people with your lazy and incomplete arguments, gm! |

Woy seems to know his own limitations, can't spot a good player himself, so he relies on the managers of the top clubs to buy the best available. Them makes his own selection from the top clubs players. If Shawcross was bought by one of them, then he would be selected. Shawcross can't be good enough for England or he'd be plying his trade with the elite of the premiership. At least that's seems to be Woy's logic.

Roy is a 'safe' FA choice after the debacle of Sven and Fabio's 'continental' experiment
Sven probably blew our best chance (Korea/Japan 2002) when winning against Brazil in the quarter - went very negative but that was our best team while Becks/Owen etc were in their pomp
Fabio was a bit of a mare, didnt speak the language or understand the English game
You wonder what somebody like Hiddink or Ancelotti would have done with the 'Golden' generation bunch
Roy is a quintessential FA Man - the Ron Greenwood over Brian Clough - although I think Redknapp would have been an awful choice too.
I would rather next time they look to a younger manager, a Sean Dyche, a Nigel Pearson, guys that have achieved success from limited resources by getting their teams playing together and their clubs/communities behind their teams - perhaps with some experience on the bench with them
But they wont, Roy will leave, they will pontificate and then give it to Southgate, who couldnt manage a sandwich but has all the right badges and is so far up the FAs arse it would be hard to remove.
