why did you post this in a 'general' chelsea forum...wrong place...many people don't give a stuff anyway

Poor ol Harry, just doing his usual 'leave the club in a mess' thing with Spuds then.

Liverpool have also granted permission for The FA to talk to Kenny Dalglish about the England job, but The FA didn't ask for it.

All jokes aside, it could be worse.

Vewwy, vewwy funny.

Woy for England lol.

May as well not even turn up

Levy must be gutted. He's lumbered with him for another season at least.

The media will be sharpening their knives as their mate looks like he hasn't got the job

It's a snub for Spurs and a slight insult to Liverpool which is amusing.

But as SB said, now that the press' best friend hasn't got the job, the "he isn't the right man" attacks will start straight away.

Poor ol 'Twitchy', will be a twitching wreck..bless him

Good grief.

For once I'm lost for words.

It is what the England team deserve!

To be honest, Roy Hodgson might be the best manger for England. His best work is done with less-talented teams who accept the disciplined play he preaches.

Well, England is not a talented team. How many England players could get a job with Spain or Germany or even Brazil?

Perhaps a rigidly disciplined style of play might bring the kind of success that has eluded this perennially-overrated team?

i dislike the FA. they rip of the fans. they act like FIFA on a smaller scale. 25000 tickets for a 90000 capacity stadium! i expect at least 10000 will end up in touts hands! as for the national team, i can hear the laughter from other countries!

Nother boring bloke at the helm...No charisma..No real qualities...agghh

Who cares, the way the press and England managers treat our players makes me not give a fuc* about the national team. They won't win anything anyway.

I forsee back page headlines featuring turnips and and/or brollies!!

I think Roy really wants the job. That is probably why they are discussing it. He is not a bad manager and I think he can do a decent job. He almost(one goal away) dragged my country Finland to Euro's few years back and that has been the best effort in our sad footballing history. We also conceded the least goals by any country..and probably scored the least as we didn't make it.

The job is one of the worst in terms of the press in football so you really have to know what you are doing if you take it. It has been downhill for almost every manager after they have left that job. Roy is old enough so he can risk his future if it doesn't work out.

Redknapp is nowhere near good enough to manage an international team, I've been amazed at the amount of support he's had from the media and assorted football fans.

What a colossal snub for him, laughed my tits off!

He's not a bad mamager, he's done well with a variety of different clubs at different levels. Whereas Redknapp's biggest achievemtne was winning 1 FA cup and financially ruining about 2 clubs (make it 3 soon please!)

I forsee back page headlines featuring turnips and and/or brollies!!

Me too, with face rubbing a plenty!!

God Help Us.

I actually dont think this is such a bad thing, theres a good chance this is the right man in the right place in a similar way Robbie is currently for us. Hodgson has plenty of international experience, plenty or European experience, and will piss the scousers off. Frankly I would prefer him to that tactically inept spud any day of the week.

That's a shame, I was hoping they would take Arry

Good luck to him.

The bar is set pretty low for England managers after Capello, McClaren and Sven, so really he can't do that much worse.

If he gets them organised, shafts Glen Johnson, and cans this silly idea that Rooney can't play up front alone then England can make a decent run into the semi finals I reckon.
