Hodgson under pressure.

It seems that Roy Hodgson is under pressure from two angles [The Telegraph].

Firstly,Simon Hart of The Telgraph suggests that if England fail to qualify,then anything up to £26m could be lost to the FA . If that were to happen,lucrative deals that are penciled in to be renewed may not,as the FA would be in a weak position.

Nigel Currie of Brand Rapport says ''failure to qualify would have dire consequences'' and he goes on to say ''i think the damage would be very significant on a number of fronts''.

The 1-1 draw on Tuesday has left England with a small mountain to climb to finish as group winners and even if England do make the Play=Offs,that could be tricky also.

Henry Winter of The Telegraph goes on to suggest that Roy Hodgson is sleepwalking in to the Play-Offs,where a possible meeting with France could await.

According to Henry Winter,somebody at the FA should give Hodgson a good kick up the arse [putting it politely].

Hodgson however,believes England will leap above Montenegro and make it to Brazil. He suggests that Wembley should become a more difficult arena for visiting teams [notably Montenegro and Poland] to get a result.

the media and go swing for all i care.

England are on course for the World Cup albeit by playoffs at least. This is a tough group they tend to forget that part when reporting on England games.

I see the honeymoon period is over for Roy and the media and now they will do what they have done with every England manager there has ever been and try and hound the bloke out of the job whether he is doing good or bad.

Good, get the boring fecker out and get Fletch in.

What a dreary tw@ he is and his teams reliably reflect that trait, he is also hung up on the Shrekcentric obsession his predecessors failed with. We do not have talented players in this country, well not beyond the age of 20, fecking Hodge the Dodge threw jack Wilshere in as his and our potential saviour in his post match mumble, true the lad has a bit about him but wtf has he actually achieved up to now ? He hardly ever puts together a run of half a dozen games.

We haven't got the players to do much, half our team aren't even regliars in their club sides, but trying to play pretty, pretty football with talentless dummies or simply setting them up to play the Tisdale way, bore the opposition feckless, hang on for 70 mins then hope to nick one is no way for the national team to play.

Should have gone with arry. But to be fair I'd like to see hoddle given another chance

think it wold be BRILLIANT for england not to qualify.
tournament comes alive once they are elminated...........just think all those commentators having to talk about non england players for a month!
