Wouldn't mind Kane being called in to replace Dan... Let someone else get ruined by Roy's medieval football.
But Kane will score and Woy will decide to call up all of Spurs' English players. We don't want them all ruined by having to play with Rooney and Welbeck.
Next in line: please log in to view this image Kane's not even starting for the U21s, so Berahino would be ahead of him in the pecking order. Thank ****.
It's Roy... if he gets linked to United he'll be in the squad. Would really like to see what the likes of Martinez, Rodgers or Pochettino could do with this England squad. The ability is there when you look at Sturridge, Sterling, Rooney, Wilshere, Hendo etc.
Apparently, Hodgson got real shirty with the press during his last conference with them, and some hack said, last night on Talks**te, that the public will like that because it demonstrates that Roy has passion. No, mate. it demonstrates to me that Roy knows he is going to get the sack if England don't beat Switzerland.
Hodgson is feeling the pressure, he realises England are awful and he is out of his depth, he should never have been appointed, I would get rid asap and replace with Roy Rodgers.
Rodgers would be a good call. Not quite good enough to win the Prem, but probably more than capable of taking us to the quarters of the European Championship.
Roy may well need the job. Apparently, he has now spent an almost £120mil net in 2 years. More than Pellegrini, more than Ancelotti spent at the Chavs, and more than Whinger has spent in 18yrs. His American masters will expect a healthy return on that investment!
Rodgers has spent a net £85million actually over 5 windows. Compared to LVGs £135million in this window.
"Rodgers has spent a net £85million actually over 5 windows" 105m (according to transferleague) . Consider it as 60m odd to get you back into a CL slot, and another 45m odd to try and keep you there.
I was using figures from The Sunday Times, which is why I said apparently. I cannot supply a link due to Murdoch's policy of making you pay to read his papers online. Their figure was £120mil. I've no doubt that Van Gaal has spent more.
"There's a lot of laziness and sensationalism in reporting transfer fees" You won't go far wrong using one/both of transferleague/transfermarkt.
Hodgson. Inherited an undefeated England, 5th ranked in the world. In 2 years we're not in the top 20 and have just had our worst world cup historically by many factors. He didn't resign. Italy's manager, who did better, resigned. Hodgson didn't! No. England can't have Rodgers. Hopefully if he were even offered Rodgers would see what a thankless task it is and realise he is at a big club doing well and won't leave. Fergie repeatedly turned down a chance to manage England, hopefully Rodgers would do the same. Now Martinez would be a very good option. Everton don't need to be a successful club... England can have Martinez- Everton can hire AVB instead!
Hm. I think you grossly under-estimate the lure that the England job has for managers, especially English managers. Most see it as the pinnacle of their careers, and are prepared for the plunge into obscurity, after they, inevitably, get sacked.
Rodgers isn't English though! Seriously though... if you had a good job for a top 6 club- getting paid bucketloads (more than England would give you) Well liked by the fans and media- would you go to manage England. It's a job where, even if you punch above your weight (like Fabio- 5th in the world- even though we're far from the 5th most populous footballing nation- so smaller pool to work with) everyone still hates you. Constantly bashed and derided by fans and media. Guarenteed to lose every penalty shoot out. Would you go manage England? Who was the last big-club resident manager to leave their club to manage England? Woy was at WBA Fabio Capello was jobless Sven was with Lazio Keegan was with Fulham Hoddle was with Chelsea before they got big England rarely poaches from big clubs.
It's ok, he's at Liverpool. I think Hodgson's probably safe, unless Redknapp still wants the job, as nobody else with any clout is going to want to replace him. Chalices don't get much more poisoned.
