Apparently Guus Hiddink has just said he'd like the job.

They shouldn't have accepted Capello's resignation then, if it wasn't the FA pushing for it in the first place. The situation was tenable and we have no better option. Especially 4 months before the start of a competition.
At the end of the day though the manager in charge will take the flack for wrong team selection/tactics on the day if that's Redknapp then suddenly that bright new future doesn't look as bright
Give it to someone on the short term then there's no expectation and no crucifixion when it all goes **** up
SSN saying Hiddink is interested in the job
I think after what's gone on both were happy to part company. As I said in my edit in my last post, there's only 1 friendly before the end of the season. There's little harm giving it to a caretaker if, as I suspect, Levy won't allow Redknapp to leave (even on a part-time basis) before the end of the season.

The press love Redknapp and there'd be no expectations at the euros. We're useless and Terry/Capello/The FA will get the blame if we're ****.
And the FA have already said they want an English manager, have they not?
I think it should be Sir Alex Ferguson with Gary Neville & Paul Scholes as his assistants.
Scholes for the euros?
The press also hate the England manager. I wouldn't be surprised if Harry just decided it wasn't worth the hassle tbh. He is doing well at Tottenham, why invite even more unnecessary criticism which will inevitably follow.
If there's no expectations then there's no need to rush him into the job is there. The best possible scenario for Redknapp is to start the job with a clean slate, that wont be the case if he's been at the helm following another drubbing at an International tournament.
There's also the small little thing of after the season he's had he's probably looking forward to a nice little holiday in the close season.
Aww Neil warnock's not on the list, and he's jobless 
I'm not really bothered who takes over for euros tbh, we've got an excuse now when we fail.
I guess the new manager will use the group stages as friendlys and just build from there.

Gary Nev would make a great manager imo.
Maybe not for a national team but maybe when he has more experience!

To be honest I don't know why Harry wants it really, he's flying at Spurs at the minute with another champions league campaign on the horizon why jack all that in to be on a hiding to nothing with England?
Imagine he'd be bored stiff having about 8 games a year and no day to day training as well.

I'm not sure how having a no lose situation at a major tournament would be a bad way to start.
And if Redknapp's more concerned with having a holiday than taking England to the euros then he's the wrong man for the job. It's not as if he won't have much of a chance to have a holiday after the tournament anyway.
Just listening to Barry Fry with his 'We'll fight them on the Beaches' rant about the next England manager must be English and we need pride and passion and some other very noble stuff. Didn't we have that Lion Spirit with Pride and Passion with Keegan ???? What a car crash that was. Change at the FA is needed. Change is needed to invest and nurture talent at an early age. England Fans be careful what you wish for, you just might get it and be all so disappointed once again in three or four years time if you get 'Arry as the next manager
It's the see-saw effect and it started with Keegan.
"Passion doesn't work let's get an established foreign manager" - Erikkson.
"Foreigners don't understand our game we need English" - McClaren.
"English managers are **** lets get a top-quality foreigner" - Capello.
"Foreigners boo, English bulldog spirit blah blah blah" - Redknapp.
I expect we'll go for Bilic after 'Arry finally gets the boot.
