“I don’t know what I’m doing here”
Neither did we Roy, neither did we. The famous words of Roy Hodgson in his final press conference as England manager. I’ll tell you what you’re doing there Roy. You’re there to explain yourself. To explain how god awful England were in the tournament. To justify why you’re the highest paid manager in the tournament on a salary of £3.5 million a year. To explain to the fans that spent money following the team, why they’ve have been so useless.
Anyways, following on from Hodgson’s ridiculous statement, we have a look at the silliest and most ridiculous comments in
