i'd say roy hodgson was in london on his way to the world cup draw much like john delaney was in london on the way to the world cup draw.Quote:

Yeah, he said he was offered it and would sign in the morning. Sorry, don't know how I forgot to mention that.Quote:

If the FAI ever listen to what the fans want....the fans want an approach made to Roy Hodgson, I would be delighted if he was given the job.
I'm totally sold on Hodgson, he knows the game and he'll know our players.
time to act i think

The Englishman narrowly failed to qualify for next year's European Championships with Finland and is understood to have made his interests in the Australian position clear.
There is an opportunity for the FAI to step in and try to attract Hodgson now. I got to say that Australia seems like a more attractive proposition, especially as they are in the Asian qualifiers. No more qualifying by playing a selection of menaingless games followed by all or nothing in a playoff.Quote:

Thats the real problem here, its obvious the lone striker is going to get isolated from midfield as the more attack minded midfielder has to get back and defend, its also obvious that the right and/or left wing ( depending on player sent off i spose ) has to double up and help the full back. These are all obvious things, but the solution that he never offered is how you can go about attacking and scoring when down to 10 men....
Given the tricky Eastern European nature of our group for the World Cup, how does Hodgson's record in those games make people feel?Quote:

v norway drew 0-0
v china won 3-0 (china were really awful in the 90s)
And all friendlies. Venables didn't have to take them through a Qualification campaign.
Bobby Robson is helping the FAI and the FA select new managers. This might work in our favour. Robson is known and respected around Europe. He could "sell" the Ireland job to those managers who won't get the England job. We can't pay the same money as England but if the FAI are offering a decent package then we might end up with a top European coach yet.
Hodgson has just said on skysports that he has had one particular offer that he is likley to take up. I hope it is us.
Ye just saw that.
He acknowledged that finland still want him but he is unlikely to continue as their manager because he has a few offers and he would like to take up one of them.
Fingers crossed. Although Australia have entered the race for him and are quite an attractive proposition. He would feel he could definitely qualify them.
that sounds like its the australia offer. Does not sound good for us i am afraid.
Possibly Inter Milan.
