Analysis Ian Dennis BBC Radio 5 live's senior football reporter "This is an appointment for the long term with the FA looking at the wider picture. It's four weeks until the penultimate warm-up match for Euro 2012 but this decision is based on benefiting English football for the next four years. "The choice of the next England manager was always going to divide opinion but nobody can argue with the level of experience Hodgson possesses at international level. That will be invaluable as he looks to harness the young talent and embrace the new home of English football development, St George's Park, to lay down a structure for the years ahead."

Harry has managed at a higher level at club football, but Hodgsons Intl experience must have counted. Plus far lesser compensation than for Harry. Maybe Spurs can focus a bit more now on getting 3rd. As I heard on the radio- He is good with the smaller teams, and England are just that...

he might do well, if he takes england to semis in europe he`ll be a permanento

Better then Harry.

england are 5hit, doesn't matter who they have as manager, they will never win fekk all. bigger chokers than the SA cricketers, and nowhere near technically good enough to win international tournaments.

If they are not technically good enough, then how are they chokers?

Roy Hodgson has announced the he will use his multi-lingual abilities to his advantage whilst managing the England squad To communicate with Rooney is my best guess
