Stay. He is doing ok and you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Who else you want to have it ?? Redknapp, Hoddle ?? I'd rather stick my todger in nettles.

How so? sure they didn't do that well but things turned around a bit when he finally started making changes... only 50 minutes too late.
 
Why must we look for a scapegoat?

Truth be told:

1. Every team is putting out world class talent - we're not against farmers;

2. The climate favours the warmer-climate natives, as well as the younger players. Plus the weather seemed so variable that it was hardly ideal for Brits - this was why the mixed race players seemed more energetic.

3. Our players are mostly spoilt, having already made it into the big league and therefore don't care as they have nothing to gain from the event - the players of the underdog sides are vying for a piece of the talent-scout-pie to move to the UK and play Premiership for the £££££;

4. Our players are overhyped - this means that rival teams can do research on how our team plays very easily, so they know how to defend against it. Try researching some of the other teams in the tournament, good luck if you can find much!


Whilst we didn't get out of the group stage, we did play very well. Just a shame that the other teams had the odd lucky moment, whilst our guys couldn't hit target. In all our games we could have easily scored more, but our strikers lacked the finish. A manager can't improve aim - especially a big name like Rooney or the up-and-coming Sturridge.

The team will evolve, and come Euro 2016, we will achieve more.
 
I don't really have a problem with Hodgson in general, I just don't think he's up to being the England boss. I think he's more of a mid table premiership team manager.
 
Stay - the performance against Italy in particular was one of the best I've seen from England at a tournament, despite the defeat, and there are significant signs that we're improving. He deserves the Euros at least.
 
I don't get why he is so positive after some of those games. That Costa Rica game was awful and he could see little wrong.

He does seem tactically clueless.
 
Tactically inept, just look at the games before the WC started, and Roy carried on into the WC.

Left better more experienced players behind, picked the wrong team and the subs were even worse.

Trouble though the England job is a poison chalice, and who besides Harry would take the job on right now?

Personally for the National team to move forward we need a complete clear out at the FA, William Wales needs to clean house, so to speak ;)

First 20-25 minutes when he almost did it right went well, fell apart after that.

Playing Rooney as a blunt instrument to unbalance the other team (rather than as the way to move the game forward) and using sturridge, sterling and a mid-fielder (gerrard or as it turned out wilshire seemed to work well) tighter linked up as the way to do the actual moving forward would have produced far better results and there was some times when that accidentally came together and we saw a few moments of sparkling play but the moment they reverted to plan it all went meh again.

I say again this is going nowhere unless he plays the cards he has better and doesn't get stuck playing the same hand over and over and somehow expecting it to miraculously work better after being played the 1000th time, sure the player quality isn't ideal but theres a lot of talent there to work with that aren't being utilised properly at all. He is too fire and forget strategy wise and that might have worked in the past but it just gets shutdown in todays football.

I voted for him to stay, simply because I can't see any viable alternatives to him. Until someone obviously better comes along, chopping and changing the manager will do more harm than good.
 
He is awful and lets face it, we will never even come close to winning anything with him in charge.
 
Go. Never understood how he got the job in the first place anyway, nowhere near good enough to be manager of a half decent side.
 
so who would you replace him with if he goes ?

FA insist on an Englishman as the manager, good ones are in short supply. Look at the PL how many successful home grown managers are there that would be capable of leading the national side ?? On top of that which of them would be willing to effectively end their careers for a life of media crucifixion ??
