Roy for England.

[Deleted member 1740]

Correct Roy inherited some of Rafa's mess that he left. Hodgson made mistakes yes Poulsen, Cole and a few others but with Kenny lurking in the background he was on a hiding to nothing so felt a bit sorry for him really for all the flak he took when it wasn't all his doing.

The flak Hodgson got was-self inflicted. The people in charge of selling the club interviewed kenny for the job and thought they knew better.

Hodgson's not fit enough to clean Rafa's or Kennys boots.

Haha the Daily Mail writing facts out of those 76 players he signed how many we're ready made 1st team players??

There is a lot of young players in that list aswell as a few free transfers but don't let that stop the press driven agenda rubbish.

He brought in circa £150m so he only spent £80m in 6yrs.

Unlike hodgson's signings, we're still paying their wages even after they've left.

Like I say don't believe everything the xnephobic agenda driven press write.

Dont matter what paper it's in mate whether it be The Sun, Mail or Telegraph the fact is he signed 76 players in 5 years of which around 90% were poor if that aint poor management I dont know what is. Rafa was soon found out when he went to Inter they canned him after about 6 months similar to Roy actually. Very overrated Manager I think. He won the Champs league for you 1 year a fine achievement granted although with a lot of luck on the way and enforced changes made on him in the final. Other than that the odd trophy and one near miss in the league which he cocked up by keep chopping the team around.

Not saying Hodgson didn't make mistakes he did, but I feel he has been made a scapegoat for a lot of LFC's problems which are not all down to him. Granted the 2 septic tanks you had running the club were rotten eggs

I think you'll find rafa has been made the scapegoat for all of liverpools problem.

Hmmm not sure about that. The yanks seemed to come in for a lot of stick. It is a combo of various individuals and not down to one person I think they all have to shoulder some blame. The Yanks,Rafa,Woy and Kenny have all been guilty of appalling descisions.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Everyone saying Hodgson couldn't cut it or handle the pressure at Liverpool need a reality check,he was never given a chance by yhe fans and was massively let down by the players.

My fear if he gets the England job is that exactly the same will happn.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

For those who think Dalgliesh is a good manager remember when he was given free reign at Celtic.
The Celtic fans were estatic and the press loved the appointment.
He appointed John Barnes as coach, bought very poorly and made a total dogs breakfast of the whole thing.
I think he lasted as long as Hodgson did at Liverpool
Dalgliesh has never built a team whereas Hodgson has built about a dozen teams in about six countries.

 

[One Planer]

To be honest I dont fancy Woy or 'Arry for the job

Guardiola will be a free agent soon

 

[Dodger]

You really have to laugh at the English.

They cry for one of their own to be appointed then when the one with the best C.V. is appointed they all cry that he still isn't good enough...amazing.

All because most people had decided Arry was the one for the job. I just hope they give Roy a chance. Personally if I was hime I would have wanted to take charge after the Euro's are over as I reckon he is on a hiding to nothing in that.

 

[Marshy77]

I wouldn't have chosen Roy but have come round to the idea of him being the manager and for me its a good one. I never really wanted Harry to be the manager as I don't think he has enough experience at that level and wasn't sure he could manage to switch from club football to international. I would have welcomed an another forgein manager, I don't really have a problem with that at all. I think now is the time for the players to stand up and be counted and do there jobs - if there good enough as a team rather than individually.

I think after Roys reign and dependant when that is, we will need a strong manager to come in and tell the older players that its time to move on and be brave enough to build a younger more inexperienced side for the future. Maybe that will be Roy's job after the Euro's for the preparation for 2014.

 

[GB72]

The more that I hear, the more that I reckon that Harry was never on the radar. Sounds like The FA wanted someone who will base himself at the new Burton training camp and be out there most days in a tracksuit with teams from all age groups. Not sure that you would get Harry to move from the South coast let alone to the Midlands and get him to be so hands on with the development of the national game as a whole.

Being an international manager is a totally different beast to being a club manager and many have been good at one but not the other. I actually think that Roy has a chance of doing a decent job, especially if he is not affraid to have a clear out of the old guard after the Euros.

 

[Luulox]

honestly i cant see his appointment making any difference to the team at all. The England team is full of mediocre players who think they are great and outright t*(%^*s like John terry and shrek. would like to see Roy remove ninety percent of them and give younger players a go.

 

[Neddy]

I think it's a decent appointment but at a funny time.

Let's say England tank at the Euros (which is very possible), will the blame not be put on Woy, putting him under immediate pressure....?

 

[Deleted member 1418]

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Redknapp actually coming out and saying he wanted the England job. I actually think Hodgson will be a good choice as he's a bit of an unknown quantity with the players. I agree with the last part of Luulox's post - ship out all the underachievers and give the younger players a good run.

Brilliant!

You must be joking. The gutter press and Liverpool fans were the problem.

Not me. I think Roy is a great choice, won league titles in different countries, worked wonders at Fulham , done well in Italy, with Switzerand , Finland, etc.

Its about time that the FA realised that club football and international football is different. Nice to see them appoint someone who has managed an international team before and he did particularly well. I dont see it as a step up, its just different to manage a national team so I dont accept the argument that if he failed at Liverpool how the hell is managing England.

By the way I dont think he failed at Liverpool more like he was ousted before he a had a chance to make a difference.
