Is this the FA's plan to never win the World Cup again?

If you haven't heard yet, Roy Hodgson is now tipped to be the FA's choice to replace Fabio Capello once the Italian's contract runs out. It seems Hodgson has been regarded as a "safe pair of hands" by the FA in a report by the soccernet.com. Well, if this is true, apparently the FA is determined to ensure England's 1966 World Cup victory is its only victory for a long time to come.

Not that England can't achieve that without Hodgson's help. But one wonders - again, if this is true - on how the FA can possibly consider Hodgson for the job after he imploded at Liverpool. And let's not forget, there's a big chance his current club West Brom could very well lose the relegation battle and sink into the First Division. Would they still consider Roy?

It's even worse when you consider the fact that the man favoured by the bookmakers to be the leading contender for the England job is Harry Redknapp, a man who can actually coach a top flight club. It still remains unclear as to why Redknapp wouldn't be the FA's number one choice for the job. If the FA insists on getting someone English -which is the one criteria Hodgson fits - then it should choose the best English manager out there which would be Redknapp.
