The squad is dire. He may as well stay and try and develop the young players. The squad is never top 16 in the world. The draw was very tough as well looking at some of the other groups.

Bit harsh on Roy.
Not his fault. The problems lie deeper.

I agree. We should have got an easy group like Spain
The group with Greece in we would have strolled through - the Russian group also.
Who would replace Hodgson given that redknap was the only option last time.

Redknapp. But like with Cloughie they won't choose a manager that isn't a yes man. we need a manager that will say it as it is and not just go with the flow. Redknapp isn't the best manager around. But he is the type to bring the prima donas back down to earth.

Always like your posts but don't quite get this one.
We were losing at half time, so trying not to lose after half time sounds adventurous!

It's almost like we set out not to lose half the time.
Not set out not to lose after half time
We only went for it for a short time in the game, and we looked great doing it... Baines flying up the left..Johnson down the right..bodies in the box ... Chances , pressure... Why didn't we do this all game...
I'll tell you why ....HODGSON.
We can't keep a manager because were not sure who could replace him .. The FA should get out there and see who's interested..

Any one for Hoddle??
Not for me. I guess I will get slated but I would have moved heaven and earth to get Wenger in for this World Cup.

Ohh, Sven made my blood boil. Then we did have some very good players and he was far too cautious and as games wore on in tournaments we defended deeper and deeper and deeper and just tried to hang on.
The bloke drove me nuts.

You really haven't got a clue.
Wenger may have been wonderful , Stuart Peirce also.... Maybe too soon for timmeh but I liked the way tottenham played for him and he handled it well for such a pressure position

Look at the squad Sven had in 2006!!
Yet we were ultra cautious and kept defending really deeply game after game. I grew to dislike Sven immensly.

Sven was decent. As was Hoddle.

Jose is ultra cautious. He's probably the dictionary definition of boring negativity. Wenger would be shite. IMO.

If I could take anyone right now, it would probably be Rodgers of Liverpool.

Have to disagree on Sven. Thought he was dreadful, especially considering the players he had at his disposal. I remember wacthing England games at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups screaming at the TV for us to push forwards and stop defending so deeply and I clearly recall the commentators and pundits kept syaing the same thing that we were sitting back and defending far too deeply.
Thought he was a bad manager for England all things considered,

Wenger would have us playing good attacking football and Jose is clearly a winner.
I know Sven's record was excellent before England but he was too soft with the players. Jose would take no shit from anyone and knock them into shape.

You're wrong. Stop listening to pundits, they're mostly idiots.

I'm not wrong though.
Find the tapes of the games, watch the matches and see how deep we defended trying to hang on for a result with the quality of the players we had.

And I also have to add, I'm not wrong just because you say I'm wrong, limoncello.
Fine if you think Sven was a good manager for us. I thought he was awful. And that is based on the supposed golden age of players he had at his disposal (Beckham, Ferdinand, Lampard, Gerrard, Owen etc.)
