Think its time for eric bristows elder brother to wander round the lush fields of rampton, in a straight jacket dancing ' harvey kitel style in bad lieutenant' with the ghost of puskas to 'picture box' if he thinks this is true.
" I guess in four or five years, the new generation's music will be .. electronics, tapes. I can kind of envision .. maybe one person .. with a lot of machines, tapes, and electronics setups, singin or speaking .. and using machines " James Douglas Morrison | 1969
The problem is the FA give England managers contracts irrespective of performance. If they had given Hodgson a contract up to the end of the World cup with a renewal and review option at that point then he would be on his bike now. Lets not forget this is the worst ever England performance in the first stage of a world cup, but because of the compensation that would need to be paid we are stuck with him.
If Hodgson knew the performance had to be good or he would be out then either we would have done better or Hodgson wouldn't have taken the job and we would have had someone who would pick players who could be motivated to perform, rather than those earning so much money that their England performance meant nothing in terms of reward or reputation.
"So yes, Hodgson got it wrong in places but his status as the second-highest paid boss at the World Cup ..."
Feck. Talk about landing on your feet. To be absolutely pony at your job, paid millions, and to be unaccountable and unsackable... It's not a case of 'who would want the England job?', it's more like who wouldn't want it!
