Take a look at what Hodgson has actually achieved, and with which teams.
Coached in Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, including Inter, Malmo, Udinese, Grasshopper. He's taken teams from low levels to European qualification and championships, and managed 3 international sides. ...
A marriage made in heaven
One of the better articles on Rafa IMO:

i know things seem to have come to a natural conclusion with rafa, but i'm just not convinced anyone else can do a better job in the long run (not just a year long boost to morale).......
moreover, whereas before last week i thought stevie and torres would stay, no i really don't.
I'm hearing Hodgson may be installed as manager as early as this week !!
for the record, and no matter what happens with the next manager, I still wish Rafa was here.
also, it's inevitable we'll lose masch now and most prob stvie and torres. If he was still here, I don't think it would be half as likely that any of them would leave
I also didnt want him to go, I wasnt suprised obviously, but would have still prefered him to have another season. As for players leaving, I can see Torres and gerrard staying TBH. Masch on the other hand, not.

And it looks more and more likely Hodgson will be name our new boss in the coming days.
