If England have a decent Euro's I think Roy Hodgson will retire gracefully.

A good Euro's for England would be getting a win in a group game as opposed to making a fool of themselves in a major tournament.

I met Moyes a few weeks ago and asked him if he wanted to come and manage us.

He laughed.

Hodgson doesn't need the day to day of club management. He's in a job that suits him at his stage of his career and this will very likely be last last rodeo.

We're in the Championship, a number of our supporters think we're headed down again, and wanting Moyes is even an argument?

I don't get it either.

As somebody else pointed out, if you wanted a signal that we still think we're a big club and that we're prepared to try and act the part again, getting a manager as well known and in my view, as good as Moyes, would be a big step towards that.

Indeed not wanting him is absolutely bonkers.

Try telling that to Man United and Real Sociedad supporters.

The bigger picture not really your thing then..?
Actually it is, just splashed out on a new 55" HD tv this week.

Chris Coleman is out of contract with Wales after the Euro's. I reckon he could do the job for us in the Championship but can he cut it in the PL is any body’s guess.

Coleman did a good job at Fulham but his jobs afterwards were nothing to write home about. He's also been out of club football for quite a few years now.

I do always worry about that with managers who manage international teams for a few years and then come back into club football, they seem to lose touch with the game as we see with Van Gaal at United.

As someone who follows Welsh football, I'd be very disappointed if we ended up with Chris Coleman.  He's done well with Wales, but he has had the luxury of having one of the best players in world football in the side.  I'm not sure he would have been able to take Northern Ireland or the Republic to a major final tbh.

Mark Hughes seemed to make that transition.

If Monk got the job I'd have to say I'd be just as Dizziely disappointed if Gary Gillespie became his assistant.

This is an appropriate time to mention that my other half got me a Jazz Club t-shirt for my birthday last Tuesday.

He blew that chance when he did not resign over the shameful and embarrassing tournament exit he is responsible for.

Lovely man who represents everything wrong with the England setup. While I am still gutted that Villa threw in the towel this January, England did it by keeping the proven failure of Hodgson around after he demonstrated how out of his depth he was.

Useless at the international level.

While I'm no great fan of Hodgson, I think there's a certain revisionism between the expectations of the World Cup in Brazil and what actually happened. As soon as the draw was made, it was doom and gloom and, 'oh well, we're going there for the experience and we should be aiming for 2016 anyway'. When we didn't manage to compete, as expected, with the likes of Suarez and Pirlo, everybody lost their shit and labelled it a disaster. What happened was pretty much what we all expected.

In the Euros, though, I don't see there's any excuse for England not to reach the quarter finals at least.
