If hodgson this great coach. Why did none of the England players not believe in his methods. That tournament was appalling. Steve mclaren managed a prem side after an England diabacle and look how that turned out. Also if hodgson great then why didn't Norwich , Sunderland and other consider him for their managerial positions.

Andy Johnson Magic, He wears a Magic Hat
When he Sees the match ball, he says he having that
He scores one with left foot, he scores one with his right
And When his playing Brighton, He scores all f***ING Night!

And Gary the Monk is now odds on favourite

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

Fair comment, after England's years of success he really should have done better.

The tournament was very poor but England have been poor for years.

I don't think anyone has called him great, just that he is nowhere near as bad as some on here say.

As for the other points, who knows whether he or the clubs were interested. I don't remember too many clubs sniffing around Sam.

England are the serious under achievers. Swansea were interested in big Sam for sure and also think hull considered Sam. The fact that we moved before Swansea first to get Sam helped .

Given our present situation I would take Hodgson. With Sam leaving we are in a temporary crisis and he would be the best answer. yes we want a long term manager eventually, but that hasn't happened, and we need to stay in the PL. Hodgson would probably be happy to hand over to a young manager having kept us up and cleaned his tarnished record. The German guy might be great, but he might not. I think he comes with high risks too, and could really stuff us up.
