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
In 2002 those injuries forced him to pick players in their best positions and have a good side, when he had options he got it horribly wrong every time. He should have done so much better with that group of players
with you there Dave, he made a bit of a pigs ear of it in 2006 although the selections nearly paid off in 2004, scholes,Gerrard,Lampard,Beckham, we were very unlucky
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

were unlucky in 2004 but he still got it wrong playing Scholes wide where he was wasted and we struggled to keep the ball against Portugal.
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!
