Managers in England

[baggy89]

Steve Evans left Crawley for Rotherham, meaning first-team coach Craig Brewster is caretaker manager. Started off with a 2-1 win today.

 

That'll be him adding his name to the list of Broon's successor behind Paul Hartley then?

 

Odd that Coppell has been inserted a DoF today. I assumed the crook walked and took the Rotherham job because the source of creepies money had or was about to disappear. It'll be interesting to see how long Brewster lasts as I'd always assumed he'd be too principled to get involved in the brown envelope culture that seems to follow Evans around.

West Brom allowing the FA to speak to Roy Hodgson

sensible decision.

[tlg1903]

Fuck

 

Would much rather redknapp got it.  tactically clueless, his best ability is spending money well. Cant do that internationally and i think he would struggle as a result.

 

Hodgson is the opposite, good at working with what he's got and getting them to play well. Hallmark of his best teams is they are greater than the  sum of their parts, knows  international management too.  Only downside i can see on woy is that the players might be unimpressed as he's not a 'big name'

Like Liverpool you mean?

[tlg1903]

He was on a sticky wicket from the word go there.  Fans didnt want him and were very vocal about it

In my experience they did want him.

Really? I didn't know one Liverpool fan that did want him 

[Tyrant]

I wasn't unhappy when he came in.. and I know several that were pleased with the appointment.

Were they Man U and Everton fans?

[tlg1903]

Liverpool fans i know said to me they felt it was too big a job for him.  Most were raging at the treatment of benitez as well which didn't help and add to that he was seen as the hicks/gillete appointment.  Hindsight is wonderful but looking back he never had much of a chance at anfield with so many factors going against him. 

 

That hodgson is better qualified for the role is a no brainer, i really hope that england fans respond the same way as Liverpool fans did.

 

Hows the news being taken down south manc?

Woy for Engerlund is magic. He's such a fud. The FA are hilariously inept.

Tend to agree with this, Woy has specialised in getting "wee" teams punching above their weight and when given the big deal job, woyally fucking it up.

 

I sense a woyal fuck up. And W.O.W.

[Jute]

Guessing FA not convinced by Arrys not guilty verdict then.

I think Hodgson is more likely to get screwed by players and fans not being impressed than by his ability.  I've looked but i can't find it again but i read earlier that hodgson at one point got switzerland to 3rd in the fifa world rankings!  Thats mental if true!

[glasgowdon]

Is this a permanent or temporary appointment for the tournament?

[Tyrant]

Permanent. 

[glasgowdon]

Permanent. 

 

Not sure the wave was required but thanks.

I'm sure he could equally confound expectations and get England to punch above their weight, 2nd round even.

I actually think Hodgson is a good appointment. The only doubts I would have as an Englandshire fan are the following:

 

1. Is he a big enough name for the players to respect?

2. Will he keep playing the same guys who fail time and time again?

 

I guess 1. could be eradicated by the answer to 2. being "no".

Agreed.

I think he's a better shout for them than Redknapp.  If their so called golden generation are not happy then he should just bin them.  Obviously I hope for an epic fail though.

Is the england job ever "permanaent"?

I don't think I've ever heard of any job that's permanaent.

Agreed, having to deal with Messrs Gerrard and Terry is enough to send anyone loopy.

 

Tlg, in response to your post, i haven't really heard anyone moan about it. Most people just suspect it's about money which it clearly is but no-ones moaned. Give it time!
