Al Fayed: England can have Hodgson
Fulham chairman Mohamed Al Fayed has revealed he would have no objection to Roy Hodgson becoming the next England manager.[LNB] Cottagers boss Hodgson was named Manager of the Year by the League Managers' Association on Tuesday after leading his side to the Europa League final, with Fulham set to face Atletico Madrid in Hamburg on Wednesday night. [LNB]Hodgson also guided the club to the FA Cup quarter-finals and the 12th spot in the Premier League this season, but Fayed insists he would be willing to give up the prolific manager should England come calling. [LNB]"If it is England I don't mind having to sacrifice Roy," Fayed told The Guardian. [LNB]"It is important England do well. When England came for Kevin Keegan (in 1999 when he managed Fulham to promotion from Division Two) I didn't have any objection. [LNB]"It gave us pride that England was led by an ex-Fulham manager." [LNB]Fayed is hoping Fabio Capello can prosper with England at the World Cup this summer, adding: "Of course but, anyhow, if they want Roy for England I don't mind."
