The FA should be congratulated, not pilloried, for wisely taking a punt on Hodgson
Insideworldfootball.biz
The conventional view in English football is that the Football Association, in going for Roy Hodgson as the next England manager, has made the safe choice. The argument is the people's favourite, Harry Redknapp, would have been the bold move.
How utterly absurd. Redknapp would have been the easy choice, hailed by the media and the supporters. It is Hodgson who is the brave, unconventional appointment, and the FA ought to be congratulated.
I am not saying this because Harry, according to his court testimony, does not read or write much, whereas in Hodgson the FA will be getting something of an intellectual.
