The guy just rambles on and on and on and on, i can well imagine 20 odd years olds completely zoning out from him and thinking shut up you old duffer, he doesnt inspire any confidence imo , i bet his team talks are a chore.

Dont see a problem at all with that.

He said everything that was needed last night but due to either The FA wanting a press conference or the media pressure to ask more of the same dumb questions he has had to waste his time doing one

I posted this a few minutes ago on another thread. Totally unbelievable comment. Hodgson was clearly hoping to take the money and run.

You think a pre written statement was sufficient to explain that shite last night ? How about explaining to the people of the country and giving them answers, do they not deserve anything ?

Exactly, all national managers have a duty and obligation to explain and justify. They are representing a country not taking on a personal and private job.

He's an old man with a speech impediment. Got it.

"I don't really know what I'm doing here"

"I'm not a football expert"

What answers are you expecting? You will get the stock answers that you get from any manager after losing a game. I have not watched it or heard any quotes but willing to beat I could have wrote the questions and the answers from this press conference this morning.

He is no longer the England manager what he has to say has no bearing on anything other then an excuse for a lazy media to recycle this mornings articles tonight and tomorrow.

If the "people of this country" have been spending today waiting for some answers that will magical explain everything then I would suggest those people get a life

He is also tactically inept and should have been sacked after the dreadful performance at 2014

Do you think he told them to play like that?

I think basic ball control, moving about the pitch, and kicking the ball with a degree of accuracy should be a given.

The team made mistakes from start to finish that they shouldn't, and you wouldn't expect. They dont normally play like that, which suggests the problem was in their heads.

He probably isn't - didn't we have a guy who worked at the post office before?

And Brian Barwick was a TV executive..

They are probably just sports fans employed into that role because they are seen as good administrators.

Is that the trouble at the FA - well meaning football fans but not having the true experience of working in the game for a long time?

The FA Chief exective said that.

And he's one of three men in suits deciding the next England manager.

It never ceases to surprise me the amount of football supporters who think that merely changing the England manager will address any of the repeated, serial issues.

There are at least three or four far bigger things to address.

I cannot see us qualifying for the WC 2018 as we currently are.

I doubt many people making an appointment would have a great knowledge of the job they are recruiting for, More the type of person they want to recruit etc

The list of possible candidates will be pretty small. They will not be putting a advert in the paper or on the F.A website.

The biggest decision will be do they only go down a route of only considering people who are English or will they go down the route of a foreign manager and you would not really need to be a "football person" to do that.

There are "football people" on here and reading some of their ideas who should get the England job and those reasoning behind some of the choices is more then reason for not letting a football person make the appointment

You would have said the same about England Rugby. Eddie Jones has just shown us the difference the right manager would make

Motty was just on the radio offering 3 suggestions.

Allardyce, Martin O'Neill, or Klinsmann.

All good shouts, and all would be successful. So lets have Southgate instead..

because its the default setting for football fans (and the media).

Forget the main issues that are causes for the issues all we need is

1) A coach/manager that shouts and jumps up and down and sings loudly

if that fails

2) a tactical manager who studies games and comes up with all sorts of formations

if that fails

3)a Englishman

if that fails

4) a foreign manager

If that fails revert back to 1 and repeat

Fixing the issue that English football finds it self in would is going to take time and serious planning and work and an awful lot of work but lets not do that lets carry on doing the same things we have been doing year after year

Sounds like something behind the scenes with the FA. there is air of FIFA about FA, non football people running it.
