Day Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I have no issue with Hodgson other than his age, 66 years old and will be 70 for the next World Cup. I'm sorry Roy I know you said you won't resign but I think you should and not because we might fail getting through the group stages but for the future of the national team.With the likes of Sterling, Lallana, Barkley, Shaw, Stones and co coming through now, let's get a young manager in and give him the next 4 years to prepare for the next World Cup where these players will be in there prime.Thanks Roy, I don't blame you for this World Cup, but bye.

AshfieldRam Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I think agree, he can't be held to blame for silly mistakes on the pitch but like you say he'll be 70 come Russia 2018. Who do you replace him with though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Time to go. Has not produced the results tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I don't blame Roy either.... Always on a hiding to nothing and did pick younger players.... Enjoy retirement Roy. As for his replacement, need someone who needs to completely restructure the international team. One man for me who fits that bill.... Roberto Martinez.

StaffsRam Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Have to agree. After this WC should very much be about the future. Gerrard, thanks very much but it's time to move on. Roy, thanks, didn't quite work out but don't blame you personally, bye. I'd also ditch Baines and Jagielka and look to Shaw, Stones, Flanagan et al.

Ovis aries Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Strange thing, we moan about too many foreign players in our leagues, then some want another foreign manager for our national side,tad ironic maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The problem for Roy and that of the next manager. is we do not have any world class players. Rooney is as close as we have but there are players a step above him. We have a lot of good players, sadly we lack the great ones. At least Roy got a squad together I felt I could support and actually had some attacking flair, that will hopefully develop. I think he has managed a transition...and now we enter the next generation. Let's just not over-hype them all, ie Golden Generation mark 2.

StaffsRam Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 He's overseen the transition into the interim solution, but we've still got work to do. I'd give it to someone younger now, for them to complete the transition fully into our next generation of players and to start shaping things from the ground up. Rather that than for all that to take place, Roy to then retire and someone else then coming in and shake it all up again. We should be taking a long hard look at what Germany did after Euro 2000.

Will agree, but I can't think of one English coach or manager who is up to it.... At least with Martinez he's been here for well over a decade playing and managing. So it's fair to say he will have a decent understanding of what's required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We performed well against Italy, didn't against Uruguay. I always thought we would do well to get out of the group but last night was a let down. I often think World Cups are an eye opener for how good our players actually are. Definitely time for someone else with a fresh squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's a shame that very few England internationals made the transition into management once their careers ended. Particularly in the more recent years. I'd want an English Manager, and preferably one who's been there as part of the national team. Klinsmann for example had never managed before taking charge of the German national side for Euro 2004 and WC 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Gary Neville with Scholes as assistant. Both are straight talking and know what they are talking about. Having played under Fergie will know a thing a two as well you would have thought. There is no experienced English managers out there worthy of giving a go, let's take a risk on this.

McRamFan Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I think Roy should stay until after the Euros, which we should qualify for, and use that time to bring the youngsters through so the squad are all under 25/26. Retire and then let Mourinho take over...simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Harry Redknapp would like to announce that it would be triffic to manage his country one day. There are no English managers that would do what is required. You probably are looking at complete novices that would be needed. Scholes knows what needs to be done. Do you want Paul Scholes to be manager? Or you can go for Tony Pulis who will at least do things his way. He's a strong fella so I'd imagine he'd handle the criticism. No doubt England think they're too good for him. Which they aren't. Not got many options if you want to avoid a foreign manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Sturridge is better than Wayne, He is nowhere near as good as Rooney and will get nowhere near as many goals and honours as Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
