Hoddle should never have been sacked by Tony Blair.
But I suppose he was better than his players and had difficulty in relating to lesser beings. He should get another chance in the Premier League. [I am not a Spurs supporter] |

Hoddle has spoken a lot of sense in this World Cup, far more than Roy Hodgson who should be sacked.

Hoddle's first choice CM duo was rather sadly Gerrard and Lampard.
I wouldn't object to Hoddle being our next manager to be honest. Who else is there? |

If Roy does go, there's absolutely no other realistic English managerial candidate out there. We could do a lot worse than Hoddle. I'd certainly take him over a clown like Redknapp. |

People seem to rate Hoddle nowadays but I don't remember him being particularly popular back in 98/99. I don't think many of the England players liked him very much either.

He was fairly decent as England manager tbh from what I recall but he cooked his goose with all the bull he spouted about disabilities. That was used as an excuse to get rid of him I think just as BigDave says.

Things were decent enough for the first two years of his tenure, but it really started to fall apart in the Euro 2000 qualifiers. Had England been topping their qualification group when Hoddle made those remarks about disabled people, I'm sure the FA would have just forced him to make a grovelling apology and donate a month or two's worth of wages to disability charities. But we were (if memory serves) fourth in our group, there were reports of major arguments between Hoddle and the senior players, and Hoddle's main allies at the FA had just been forced out due to a separate scandal, so it gave the new guys the excuse they needed to push him out and bring in Keegan.
I think if Hoddle took the job again it would be under very different circumstances. Right now, the "senior" players are on their way out of the squad and there are a lot of younger novice players coming in, so we shouldn't see a repeat of that. He did a decent enough job last time around and I would be happy enough to give him another go of it, as long as he kept his religious crap to himself. |

And statistically, Capello is England's most successful manager with a near 67% win record
![]() Hoddle's win percentage is high mostly because we had a really good qualifying tournament for the 98 World Cup. We were decent but unexceptional in the tournament itself, and then really started to falter in the Euro 2000 qualifiers he was in charge of. |

Alternatively, if you're just looking at results from major tournaments (and discounting the two managers who failed to even get England to a World Cup or European Championship), Capello is actually the third least successful England manager, with Graham Taylor being the worst, and Kevin Keegan the second-worst. Good record in both qualifying tournaments he took charge of, but did terribly in the 2010 World Cup, and jumped ship before Euro 2012.

As a tactician and a manager he's actually pretty good and we went into the '98 tournament as one of the dark horses to win it. |
