Not A Quitter ... Or Greedy B******?

Last updated : 26 June 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

Alan Pardew is probably top of the list because he is sat on an eight and a half year contract, and NOTHING is going to stop him getting his pay off.

Come hell or high water - Pardew will get his money - and no shit from Mike Ashley (and there has been a cart load) will change Pardew's mind.

Over to England, and Roy Hodgson has reiterated his desire to stay on as England manager, defiantly insisting he has no intention to quit.

Hodgson and his 23 players touched down in England on Wednesday after their worst World Cup campaign in history.

England finished bottom of Group D with just one point.

Hodgson refused to walk out on England after their early exit was confirmed last week and the 66-year-old has had no change of heart after the 0-0 draw against Costa Rica.

Hodgson snapped back at one reporter when it was pointed out that Italy manager Cesare Prandelli had offered to resign following his team's elimination from the tournament on Tuesday.

"I told you the other day (I won't resign) and I've nothing more to add," the England manager said before adding: "The FA have asked me to continue. They want me to continue. I'm, very happy that they want me to continue.

"I think there is an interesting group of players here to work with.

"And I get no feeling whatsoever that any of them will want me to resign.

"I have no reason to do so. I have no intention to do so.

"I don't want to be compared to other people.

"The reason I'm staying on is that I'm not a quitter, I believe in this team and that the FA seriously want me to keep doing this job, as do the players, so therefore I will continue to do it and I'll try and lead the team to Euro 2016 and try to get some good results."
