Hodgson for England (no joke)

[Judge Jules]

Haha.

Rafa will never get it, for the same reason Clough never did - because the grey men of the FA won't want someone who'll try and run the whole show himself. I think he'd be excellent if he did though, given his record in knockout tournaments.

 

[Squiggles]

That and the players would never spend long enough in his company to develop hate.

What if Rafa gets the job? ;D

If he took that job he'd be dead to me Avvy.

Rafa wouldn't suit international management, you can't sign defensive midfielders.

 

[localny]

if it happened, it would be eternal proof, that people who know nothing about football still occasionally make these appointments (like Purslow etc).

 

[Farkmaster]

Hodgson is loved by the football establishment. You know, like all those other top level managers.

On the contrary, he'd have his pick of all the English ones and he wouldn't even have to pay for them.

Unless it's a *whoosh* I don't understand why Oncy would want Rafa any where near the England job.

I actually think Rafa would be a decent shout and I'm one of those weirdos who does cheer on Eng(er)land.

 

[themn]

So does Oncy.

He also doesn't rate Rafa, hence, my confusion.
