If it's between Redknapp and Hodgson theres not much in it. Neither has won a great deal and both have lots of experience. Lots of talk about HR being a brilliant motivator etc, no doubt he has had an effect on Spurs but the last 3 months he hasn't been able to keep it going.
I think Hodgson will do ok, providing the media don't have those knives ready and sharpened......
Sharpened? They've already started sticking the knife in.....

Never has a man gone to the gallows looking so gormlessly cheerful.
37 years of experience about to be dismantled in less than 37 days
It's amusing to now watch the same people who slated and damned Liverpool and their fans for being nasty to Roy Hodgson now start to realise just how much of a mess they're in with Hodgson coming to manage England. When he was in charge at Liverpool, these people said that "being a nice guy with loads of experience" and "doing well at Fulham" was more than enough to excuse our horrific downward spiral. However, he's not even taken the job yet and suddenly he "doesn't really have enough of the right experience". :lol:
