So do I, he's done a t'riffic job these last few months!

I think if you actually compare their experience, Roy comes out on top by quite a margin, it's just that it hasn't been in the UK.

I still don't honestly understand what Redknapp has actually done to have been considered such a firm favourite.

He's had a decent season with Spurs and he hold a British passport, that seems to be about it.

He's been very astute on the transfer market. He's a multi-millionaire these days.

Unsurprising. Even Martin O'Neil is on the (Irish) top 40 rich list.

Excellent decision IMO. Someone who has a great managerial track record, international experience and tactically very sound.

In a way kind of glad England are going for him, this way fans of other clubs will stop going on about how he didn't get fair crack at Liverpool!
Youi will notice in 4 games how he likes to set up his teams, keepers purely kicking it long to Rooney, no pressure to get ball back, passing game no existant !!
Well may aswell book a holiday now when Euros are on if that's the best England can get !
He is fit for average clubs at best, anything with a little expectation he can't handle! He will be critising the fans, the players and anything he can to take the away the fact he is st

[Booey]

I would give it to Pearce but I will take Roy over Harry. Harry is a charmer but footbally retarded.

[Kinky]

I wonder if cost and budget was a consideration?

Putting aside the politics and yes/no FA men, I'm sure the cost to get Harry would be quite expensive; and factoring in the financial cock-ups expense that the FA have overseen with Sven and Fabio.

Yet West Brom play decent attacking football and can defend well when required. Give him a fair crack before you use your preconceptions gathered at your club to write him off before he starts.

Oh lord, woy as England manager? Embarrassing. Then again it could be the ten million in compensation spurs have asked for!!

It could be what he did with Switzerland in the nineties.

Nope they approached Mourinho he said no, second choice is Hodgson, Redknapp never in the running

So... hang about... Tottenham's st form?

[Andy M]

This is a laughably awful decision, and one typical of The FA. It's no coincidence that both Liverpool and Inter fans despised his period(s) in charge of their respective clubs.

I'm proud to be English, but a team managed by Hodgson containing the likes of Terry, Cole and Rooney won't have my support.

[Charlie Michael]

Redknapp for WBA!

[m3sye]

He didn't even allow our fullbacks to cross the halfway line! Reina nearly left as he was told he was never allowed to play the ball out, it had to go long ! Shocking decision by the FA! This is England not West Brom or Fulham!
Some people have a leve and trust me that's his

You do realise that England are about the same level as West Brom?
