The way the press keep asking Andy Murray about English football, they must think he's an expert so why not make him England's next manager?

You don't stay in the game as long as Redknapp if you're no good. I don't know what he thinks about the England squad but I could guess that he thinks they are underperforming given their huge talent.
Uruguay weren't great but they did have that world class player we don't have and against Italy our fitness let us down when we needed it most. Ok I don't think anyone expected Costa Rica to do what they did. |

Suicidal at international level? How did Roy get on in Brazil? If anything the attacking verve that Redknapp employs would have benefitted England in this World Cup given how many goals have been scored. A lot better than Danny Welbeck running about like a dog retrieving the ball and losing anyway. Even the Costa Rica game they went out with a whimper.
Our group contained Italy, who we haven't beaten in a competitive match since the 1970s, and Uruguay, who we have never beaten in a competitive match. In this World Cup we lost to two teams who are better than us and maintained our poor record against the better international sides. In short, Roy Hodgson did no worse than any of his predecessors. If you think Harry Redknapp is capable of achieving things that far better managers have failed to do you are deluded. We are not a major force in international football and haven't been for 50 years. We failed to get out of our group because our players are not good enough and haven't been for a very, very long time. |

You seem to have very unrealistic expectations.

Best hope now is that Roy can get rid of the dead wood and get these young guns playing as a team and playing well in international games.
