No reason to even offer him a contract for after the Euro's, see how he does and then offer him one seems like the better option. Some might say that he wouldn't accept such a short contract, but I though the whole idea behind an english manger was to get someone who was really dedicated, who loved the country and could look past money, etc. . Surely Hodgson would have accepted such an offer, this is pretty much the dream job for him.

Has Roy ever had a long term job? Has he ever stuck with a team more than 4 years?
Is there anything resembling a confirmation about Pogba from ManU? 'Cause we heard it all before.
Great about Verratti. I'd like to see him play though, not 'hide' behind Pirlo. I'm sure he can learn a lot from Andrea da Brescia, but at his age ... You can't beat playing and learning from your own mistakes. I was somewhat disappointed about how Conte forgot all about Marrone this year. Still, fantastic news, if it turns out to be true.
Was that already posted? Just a quick interview by the German magazine 11Freunde with Noel Gallagher:

The questions translated in the right order:
Favorite Player, Most hated player, biggest moment with City, worst moment, what would need to happen in order for him to never go to City again, which player shpuld never be allowed to go to City, wishes for the match against united, if he was allowed to tackle one player from behind - who?, best fan chant
His answers are in english of course and not translated to german.

Wikipedia tells me he was at Halmstad for five years from 19761980. lol

National team managers barely get any time with the players. Four year cycles are just about right. Manager continuity and long-termism are the big reasons to why Uruguay and Germany are doing so well.
@samnasri19
He played and beat Barca with Arsenal. Surely that was a electric atmosphere.
Oh DC, you're so naive.

Kagawa about Lewandowski:
What the fuck is wrong with that guy? He can't be serious lol
Anyone wants to buy my Kagawa shirt?

Marrone---------Pogba

Woah, didn't expect such words from Kagawa. What's the source?

Sooo BD score 16 with Barrios and Kagawa, and 33 with Kagawa and Lewandowski? And he's complaining?
He's pulling a right Samba at the moment.

Great answer. Stuck with his boy Mario too! No fairweather fandom for Noel, clearly.

Are you a Utrecht or NAC supporter?Trying to not forget this every week, even if hardly anyone cares.
Last Saturday's game in pictures.
FC Utrecht - NAC Breda 1-3 (1-0)
A lot of attention for the Gallagher brothers lately. Noel sure loves Trollotelli doesn't he.
Aye, true. It's just giving England managers long contracts in the past has been part of the problem, especially when things go wrong. Though then again, I guess Hodgson isn't on the same money that Sven/Capello were.

It's from a Japanese article. It's supposed to be this one, maybe JapanGAF can confirm it:

The 16 were just the first half of the season, though. But Kagawa could have easily scored 16 (or even more) this season if he hadn't played rather shitty at the start of the season. Not that it was his fault after his injury but he can't blame Lewandowski...
Utrecht, and trying to post pictures of every game here since a few weeks.

Hmm, not wanting Kagawa as much as before. Mind you I'm still wanting him LOADSSS. If he's said that surely he's leaving.

Guy on my Facebook got arrested at City last night. He was handed a flare when City scored and I guess he let it off. He was arrested at half time and then spent 14 hours in a police cell. He has had his season card took off him and he's banned from City until his court date which is in May, so he misses the QPR game.
Why, why would you do that?

Listening to David Bernstein talk just now, I can understand why he chose Roy.
J.H. Christ, who cares about a flare. Fucking PL
This is mesmerising!
I wish it showed him finish his leap but it's pretty fantastic. Perfect "cheering" gif.
Just watched Juve - Lecce press conference. A journalist with a question about Muntari's goal. A-fucking-gain. Conte was calm as the sea, but you can just feel the rage burning behind his eyes. The explosion is imminent. Popcorn is ready.
That's exactly what they want, and he won't give it to them
C'mon Conte....just once!
@samnasri19
I'm sure he's just pretending he doesn't remember this from a few weeks back.

I see those Arabian money has come to good use. PALEEEEERMO
Cleverley - Carrick - New guy should be our midfield if we're playing three.
Also happy for Roy. Never thought he was a bad coach, just a little bit out of his depth at Liverpool. At least he has a chance to do it all again.
Hopefully West Brom get a bright new manager in. I'm looking forward to next year with Lambert, Rodgers, Adkins, McDermott, Martinez... Some good young managers in the PL.

Scholes and Giggs can still make valuable contributions to the team over the course of the season, but they were always going to get overrun in a fast paced game of this nature. I knew it wasn't going to be a good night when I saw that team sheet.
I think we've all given up on Anderson now.
We also need a more creative presence in the middle of the field which is probably where these Kagawa rumours are coming from.
I won't disregard what 'Arry has done for Spurs but the guy is still tactically inept. In some ways I'm glad he didn't get it, even though I thought he would. But, like Stimpy said, expectations from everyone would have been absurd with him in charge. Hopefully, it will be a stern lesson to 'Arry. Don not forget your duties, regardless.

I hope the press will shut up about Redknapp and 'other candidates' now.
I'm not saying it should be easy for Roy, but it can't be nice when there's this mob mentality surrounding someone else.
Fact is, the guy has international experience and experience all over europe/world - more than many potential names that kept popping up.

I think Arry is using the England debacle as an excuse for Tottenham's poor form in the last few months. Tottenham have been in this position many times before at this stage of the season and have failed to follow it through to the end. When it gets tough, Arsenal and Chelsea have the experience and have managed to up their game, but Spurs and Newcastle just aren't at that level yet.
