Aim high

Whilst Hoddle was undoubtedly one of the most talented footballers I have seen, he now runs his own successful coaching Academy in Spain so who says he wants to come back into management and get fired again (eventually).

Plus, it is now 7 years since he managed and as you are so keen to tell me, football has moved on. Finally to top it all, I don't think that he will ever really be fully rehabilitated from the Eileen Drewery affair, it will lurk in the shadows like a skeleton in the closet...

This is not intended as a contrarian post, it is my genuine feeling on the subject plus, I think his name is a very, VERY long way down the list (if on it at all)...

One final point, you keep going on about throwing big money at a quality signing but this all counts in the turnover figure under FFP and would reduce the amount available for players even more...

So many threads going on with the same theme!!

Yes the game has moved on Prem, but 7 years is not that far away compared to 30 odd years from a different discussion!!
I can see IMO that Hoddle would love another role in English football before he gets too old and way out of touch with the game here..

I don't believe it's all about big money signings but what the real managers/coach role should be....
Typical England managers job....with the players that’s available and getting the best from them.
Tactics, formations, when to play wing backs and when to play just one up front..How to defend properly, how to bring confidence into the squad and to be consistent.
Skills, Millen & Del failed on miserably.

Our next manager (If any good) will work with what we have and bring in players to fill in the holes (however big).
You say players know how to play football, which is true but most are not intelligent enough to know what works best when and where within the team ......some wouldn’t even know their best position, sometimes that needs to be pointed out or tried.........A good manager/coach will experiment and try things, educate players to change if things arn’t going according to plan..

A Hoddle or a Hoddle type would be spot on!!

Just idle speculation onefor, If that was the case why hasn't he applied for the plethora of higher profile jobs that have been available recently (Wolves and Blackburn being just 2)
