Gary Lineker knows more about football than I do, and before the start of last season he tweeted, "Ranieri. Really!" (or words to that effect). THe rest as they say is history,
Whilst not particularly wanting Hodgson I would keep an open mind and get behind him from the start because in this game, you just never really know do you.

Imagine if Top sidled up to Vardy and Drinkwater before Monday's game and said "you two have worked with Roy Hodgson before haven't you?" and walked away again.
They did play like their lives depended upon it and looked scared to death in the post match interview.
If the owners are truly fecking with them, the next story will be about us inviting Roy Keane for an interview.
Player power my arse. Our owners are playing mind games with the players.

Yes, I understand your point.
However, Hodgson has shown that he does not have the right style of football to match the players we have. He has played Vardy on the wing. Vardy has taken crosses. That alone is enough for me to say no thanks.

Roy picked them in the first place so he rates them, Vardy was never going to fit in a set up built around Lord Harry unless he scored a bundle of goals like his one against the Germans, Drinky was unlucky.
My asssumption is they are very keen to avoid triggering the relegation clauses we're assured are written into their contracts. Hodgson is as likely as anyone to get them organised and playing, if Craig Shakespeare is stood down in the next few weeks. Longer term, he's well able to deliver the string of 13th places and turn us into the 21st century Coventry City.

This is what can happen when you want the manager out at any costs.

I think some of the criticism of Roy Hodgson is completely unfair.
England are shit and did as well as expected in the Euros. At club level Roy Hodgson has done superb jobs with Fulham and WBA - much closer to our level realistically and did well for a time at Liverpool during a strange time for the Anfield club.
I would personally prefer Craig keeps the role until season end, or for a superstar like Hiddink or Coleman personally; but don't be fooled by that shower of shit in France last summer, Hodgson is decent.

I don't want Roy Hodgson because I get bored with people calling him Woy.
It wouldn't be the most inspiring or imaginative of appointments. I also tire of manager-go-round. Hang on until summer I say, then assess what new talent is around. Methinks there'll be no need to rush this decision.

You were starting to make relative sense until you called Coleman a superstar. He would be a worse option than Woy.
