Give Harry and Hoddle the England Job

A polite request to the FA to consider the partnership of Harry Redknapp (team talks/spokesperson) and Glen Hoddle (tactics).

Why is this important?

We all know Hoddle did the business at first, but the press got their claws into him and even the mighty Mourinho had a flap when the media attacked.

He doesn't handle the stress of the media well but this doesn't stop him being a tactical genius and doesn't take away any of the international experience he has as both a player and manager. Remit: Tactics, Training, Coaching, Growth, Selection Advice.

Harry is cream of the English crop of motivation. Look what he did with Bournemouth, West Ham and Pompey. He wasn't too shabby at spurs either, but his head was turned because there was only one job in the world he wanted more; this one. But we should keep him away from it, because he actually wants it, right?

His tactics are questioned by many, (as a season ticket holder at pompey who has watched dross for 25/30 seasons I actually disagree here), but there is no one better at making a player believe in themselves with English footballing blood in the veins than Harry Redknapp. He's also pretty good at getting squads to focus on creating chances... something we were pitiful at in France.

The FA probably won't listen to us, but this is our chance to tell them that we don't mind how much Hoddle loves God or Harry loves a morning raid. If they're the best we've got, we don't care about their corporate image rights, give them the damn job and if they win something, you'll all earn more in advertising anyway.

P.S. I'm guessing a few QPR fans and other Pompey fans might disagree with this, but without agents, wages and dodgy owners mixing the muddy waters, I think we'd get the best out of them)
