The FA (as usual) have made a horlicks of it all.
Harry does strike me as the sort who wouldn't handle the pressure too well if results went a bit pear shaped and as I said when he was recently cleared in Court, the whole experience looked as though it had put him (and just as importantly his family) through the ringer and I'm not sure he'd want the same amount of attention but ten-fold, in the hardest job in the world.
Hodgson is a good manager (never given a decent chance at Anfield, unlike KK who had/has similar stats!) with a wealth of experience from coaching in Europe.
My choice would be Pardew but at the moment the Geordies would be loathe to let him go, such is his current form (yesterday aside).
Also, let's wait and see how Pearce does at the Euro Championships. After all, he's been there and done it all (almost) at club and national level as a player and would re-ignite the passion missing in those who are blessed and honoured to wear the shirt of their country.
