Hodgson steps down!
England fans across the country will be in complete shock to discover the resignation of Roy Hodgson just days after his England side had been yet again eliminated on penalties by Italy who will go on to play Germany in the semi final. This is what Hodgson and the FA have had to say on the matter:Quote:
I had to consider what was best for my health and my family, I realised the pressure of the job before I took it obviously but I wasn't aware of how much stress and unsettleness it would cause and its fair to say it has got on top of me which is forcing me to make this decision I hate to make, I'm sure the men in charge will make the correct appoitent and I wish my successor all the best and hopefully we will go to a competition and come back with a trophy.
Roy Hodgson

We completely respect Roy's decision to step down as manager of our great nation and now we will work on getting a suitable replacement and one we feel who can lead our team forward and bring in the youth and develop them in the correct manner, before you all start speculating we are in advanced talks with TWO managers and one of whom has previous success as a national team manager so you can start your speculating based on that, that's all for now.
