MILAN - President Massimo Moratti and everyone at Inter were delighted to learn thatRoy Hodgson has been appointed as Englandâs new manager.
Being chosen by the Football Association is the highest honour for an English coach but in the case of Hodgson it is also just reward for a sincere and generous man who can be considered a true friend of Inter.
We send Roy our most affectionate regards and wish him the best of luck in his new job.
Gas how one of his first tasks is to bring John Terry and Rio Ferdinand together to âsee if they can be in the same squadâ, hereâs hoping, as theyâre both shite.
My pommy colleague here was just saying to me how when a new England manager is appointed, there is a full blush of hope and optimism, which is invariably followed by despair and embarrassment. Just that they have avoided the first bit this time.
He would have been better off telling them both they werent going to be in the squad. Ferdinand might be ok as backup but he canât play 2 games in a week. Terry is poison behind the scenes
Better off playing having Cahill and Lescott in there. They are both quick and could push up to a very high line. Pack the midfield with cloggers like Cattermole and Parker and attempt to kick the fuck out of the opposition midfield and use Crouchy up front without Rooney.
Gerrard should be nowhere near the squad. Heâs finished.
âonly those behind the scenes know how poisonous the influence some of the key players allegedly have. Id say it is well overplayed. The poisonous influence I reckon is that criminal of a chairman who is used to buying whatever he wantsâ
There are few things worse in life than being caught out on the internet for rank inconsistency of opinion.* This is a really embarrassing moment for KIB man.
Of course, itâs completely acceptable to change your mind over a concerted period of time based on changing events and emerging evidence. Like myself with Barcelona.
Seems like The Sunâs front page could conversely lead to public support turning in Hodgsonâs favour. Iâm basing this on my Twitter timeline.
