A bad day for Her Majesty's Football Press
Today is another bad day for Her Majesty's Football Press. They've been backing Harry Redknapp with one voice for the England job and now it looks as if it's going to be Roy Hodgson. When you consider that they spend their lives in press conferences they are tin-eared when it comes to reading corporate signals. A couple of months ago I heard David Pleat, a man who does know how boardrooms work, saying on Five Live that he thought the FA were keen on appointing a man who would have a plan for all the age-ranges and would be prepared to base himself near the FA's new football centre at Burton. If this was true Harry Redknapp was never going to be the man. And so it proved.

I believe Woy also comes with the added bonus of being a free agent in June.
ReplyDeleteHe might not be the most inspiring choice but I suppose he should be given a fair chance. However, i can see troubles ahead with the prima donnas in the senior squad.
I couldn't help noticing the unfortunately timed front cover of the current FourFourTwo magazine.
ReplyDeleteI was never that convinced by the Harry for England campaign. One of his great strengths has always seemed to be his skill in building a team with shrewd transfer dealings, whereas the England manager has to work with the bunch of overpaid underachievers he is stuck with.
