Roy Hodgson staying on

What are your thoughts on this announcement from Greg Dyke? My own feelings are this:

FA under his leadership is still just as bad as it ever was.

Roy Hodgson is not the man to lead us forward

The premiership is ruining any chance of England being great again by allowing the top clubs easy and cheap access to the best talent resulting in stock piling of the best players which leads to players stagnating. Rodwell is a good example of this.

I could go on but these are just some of the things that needs changing to get us back on the front foot.

Discuss.

Who would you rather have in charge?
You only have to look at the paucity of our options in defence to appreciate what a tough job Hodgson has got.

Football has changed, money has ruined it. No coming back from this.

My personal favourite would be Martinez. I accept some will say no because he is not English or that we have tried the foreigners before with the same results however this man is different.

He has managed in the uk for a number of years unlike the previous lot from abroad. He gets teams playing good football but most importantly he turns average players into good ones.

He would be my first choice followed by Rogers and Hoddle.

The two managers you have suggested will not in a million years leave their clubs to become England manager. The other manager you mentioned [Hoddle] hasn't managed for a long time and judging by what he says on ITV, he'd probably be no good either.

Hodgson is the man to lead us forward. He's got rid of most of the old guard, he's brought in Sterling, Barkley, Shaw etc. I don't see what more he could of done.

People need to start realising that we have lost to Uraguay and Italy, while playing some good attacking football. If we had just been a defensive unit and sneaked through the group stages, then people would still be moaning about us being too conservative.

Becoming the England manager is the worst job in football.

We need stability for these new young players to grow. Talk of changing the manager before we've even played our 3 World Cup matches is laughable.

That's a great shout...Martinez. Very unlikely mind as he's destined for one of the Big two in Spain.

For once, I am in agreement with that slimey cockney brummie-hater Martin Samuel o nthis one. He says that Hodgson is no turnip but he has to go. However who do we get? ..how about Ancelotti's number two at Real?

Hearing him last night after the game saying he was glad the team put on a performance against costa made me laugh to myself. So what we witnessed was good in his eyes eh? What a joke.

He won't do the decent thing and go because he is on mega wages the 2nd highest paid manager in international football.

I don't blame Hodgson as much as some do. OK, he made a few selection and tactical mistakes, but his major problem is the raw materials he has to work with. Sometimes we have to just look reality in the face and admit we ain't good enough. No-one can make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Also, it's always the same with any situation like this. You can only get rid of something if you have a better replacement waiting. I don't see any outstanding candidate for the job, so, he stays.

Costa Rica don't have many players that would cut it in the prem league. So I don't buy into we haven't got the talent argument.

I find him an uninspiring figure, he doesn't come across as the type to rally the troops. The on field action showed that. We were poor and lacking direction. It is possible to get more out of players even if we agree they have below par skills. The replacement is a problem though. Not many managers want a poisoned chalice in their trophy cabinet.

Exactly.

I'm afraid Hodson made too many mistakes. It started by not selecting Cole. He selected the out of form Smalling instead of the in-form Stones.He then pocked players out of position eg Welbeck and Rooney. He then persevered with Gerrard after game 1. He did not start Lallama out wide but played others there and out of position. He changed Sterling's role after he had a great game in game 1.

Hodgson made the same mistake as most England managers of recent times - he picks who he thinks are the best eleven players instead of picking the best team and because of this he had to play some out of position.

We have all these young talents plus the Ox and Walcott to come...and I am not at all confident that he will pick the best team comprising of these players.

Glenn Hoddle is being touted a lot...and I think that is a good shout.

the amount of united players in the squad after a disastrous campaign where they didn't have a single player who stood out shows that by default city, united, Liverpool etc players will always get in irrespective of how well they played.

the obvious exception is Southampton having a couple of players in the squad but that is because of how much the press have raved about them

on MOTD whenever you see hodgeson at a game its united v Liverpool, city v arsenal etc...why don't they scout hull v wigan or the like as there are some cracking English players not playing for one of the big 4

Nothing against Woy. But he's a dinosaur,too old. A young thinking guy as Glenn Hoddle was when he was boss for me. Brandon Rodgers fits that bill, Irish I know. Also wouldn't leave Liverpol just yet. At least I could support England with an English manager this time though.
Sean Dyce wouldn't take any prisoners!!

Give Gary Rowett a shot **thumbup

Hey ! How about Lee Clark.....the FA could afford the compo.......Who they'd give it to at BCFC I'm still not sure :whistle:

At least we'd see a lot of different players in every international match and players being tried in new roles
