Horrible press conference - large number of questions about bloody Redknapp which I found to be very disrespectful to Hodgson on the biggest day in his career. The FA have chosen the best man for the job the fact the press got it wrong and their mate didn't get it has really pissed them off. Hopefully Hodgson does not listen to them and just gets on with the job rather than trying to pander to them.
Nice edit
Even those people who get angry at Poyet for playing Barnes on the wing and CMS up front on his own give him credit for all the good he's done in lifting us off the bottom and taking us to our highest position in 20 years. I'm just surprised that you are so negative about Redknapp. Of course no manager is perfect or beyond criticism, plenty of people criticising Fergie's team selection last night or Mourinho's style when he was at Chelsea.
Perhaps one gets a clearer image when viewed from the outside, I've seen Spurs throw money at signings year after year and change manager after manager in an attempt to reach your 80's form again, hell even finishing in the top half of the table has been a struggle for most of the premiership years. You finally have a manager who has delivered three consecutive very successful seasons, and does that without compromising the attractive football that Spurs is known for, and apparently the fans want rid. Its a strange one.
I thought it for the best!!!!!
Maybe it is better from the outside, his stubborness is killing us atm, we wont get top 4 this season and that is mainly down to him changing from 2 flying wingers to sticking Bale in the middle and attacking purely down the crowded middle and playing into teams like Stoke/Wolves hands.
When Andy Townsend can see the problem and the manager cant, you know there is an issue.
How would you feel if Poyet turned around and Called Brighton Fans idiots for questioning him? saying "this is as good as they have ever had" completely offending the club during the Bill Nic era also went down well

Poyet has on several occasions - 'people who criticise Barnes don't understand football' - 'if you want the ball lumped forward fine, but I'll be back in Uruguay (I paraphrase that one)' and so on. Thankfully the silent majority know he's right.
From the outside it seems that the uncertainty over the England job was the catalyst for your slump. But In expect key players did get tired, you don't have the strength in depth of the other teams up there. But i'd be surprised if Chelsea can catch you for fourth now.
For me rotation isnt all about changing the starting 11, there have been times this season we have battered teams and been 3 up at HT, take Bale and Modders off.

Well, he's not perfect, but he's clearly done a lot of good to get you where you are. Anyway he didn't get the England job so you're stuck with him. Ha ha.
The only possible cloud on the horizon.
He's saying he has a 'big job on his hands'.
Is that a habit of his, or are there no toilets @ The FA.

Only in this country would we criticise a manger with a wealth of experience in the game. Internationally getting the football powerhouse that is Switzerland to 3rd in world! Also having a very good club level record, here and abroad. On the other hand we have the "peoples favourite" Harry, a manager who has done well at Spurs and lower clubs, by spending way beyond their means. If the media don't give the guy a chance I will lose what little faith and interest I have in the international game.

Unbelievable.
The FA have settled for mediocrity, all be it English mediocrity. Now a few on here will understand what LFC supporters had to put up with, at least for only a few games a year.
Does anyone know why HR was overlooked, or was it just a question of money?

He's shit?
Besides, Liverpool suppporters are now happy with Dalglish, so I hope you wont mind if I discard your views on the matter as they clearly count for little.

The football world doesn't revolve around bloody Liverpool fc, it stopped when Man U started smashing them in the early 90's. How many other clubs has Roy done a cracking job at. There is nothing mediocre about what he has achieved in the game, what exactly has Harry achieved lets see the list!
to be fair, bankrupting Portsmouth, whilst perhaps not being much of an achievement has done a lot for the game.

Does it even matter?
At the end of the day whoever takes on this job has not got a hope in hell of satisfying the ridiculous expectations of the fans and media.
It's like managing Wigan with the expectation level of manchester united
Roy, Harry even Pep would not make a difference.

strong and stable with me, or...
One thing is for certain, with Hodgson in charge at the Euro's, England will find it easy against Sweden, but may stwuggle against Fwance and Ukwaine.
