England coach acted quickly to avoid the humiliation of having Rio Ferdinand snubbed his offer of a return

What Roy Hodgson

probably never expected, after choosing a path through all policies and, finally, was emboldened enough to select Rio Ferdinand was the scenario that this could kiboshed and player under considerable pressure from Sir Alex Ferguson suddenly could make your own around.

Hodgson, to say otherwise would have neglected one of the occupational hazards that everyone affected intermittently in England in the last quarter century: the Manchester United manager, tend to thinking in international football the same way a teenager thinks of acne. This is definitely a test, can explode when it wants and it is pointless to pretend that you crazy.

certainly was a shock to learn Fernando seriously considering refusing the invitation of Mr. Hodgson to return to England and settings forgive me for suspecting that the fingerprints were everywhere Ferguson before confirming that the player After all, we entered the park of San Jorge.

Something clearly changed since the Saturday before the message behind the scenes is that it was almost certain that Ferguson could get away with it and Fernando would retire. Hodgson was sufficiently concerned to contact them both and offer a compromise -. Sensata also means that if Fernando refrained from Friday's game in San Marino to play the most important accessory in Montenegro four days later

two Ferguson is quite happy - a significant indication of how it was in no mood to dwell on the subject, after United's defeat to Reading - is another matter but it would be very unfair if you have nothing against the player. Ferguson, unfortunately, can not be completely unfair sometimes.

clearly was not an easy decision given the loyalty Fernando feels generally Ferguson after 10 years at Old Trafford with a testimonial already booked, in relation to what he thinks Hodgson to refresh euros for John Terry.

However, automatically removing allegedly killed his career stone dead England Hodgson spoke of him in the World Cup and deserves the opportunity to add to his 81 caps. He was, after all, it takes a lot to make it back to England and the plans, after all that happened, would have been unsatisfactory, to say the least, if the olive branch had been left Hodgson on both.

By Fernando would have meant the end of his life forever England.

For Hodgson, was a humiliation and, more importantly, he was deprived of the opportunity to choose your best team for a game that will go a long way in deciding whether England qualify automatically for the World Cup. For the Football Association was not uncomfortable sense that, once again, we left the last word Ferguson. Football

seen

, you can call.

The FA, after all, had this feeling a few times in recent years, but again, this is not the first time Hodgson could have made a lot easier with better communication. A simple phone call to Michael Carrick before Euro 2012 have realized that he had not retired from international football completely, as Hodgson had been led to believe wrongly. The same thing would have solved the problem quickly Micah Richards to appoint the waiting list in England.

place Hodgson used to delegate calls or decide it is not needed, and whether we like it or not, the modern game is not up to date and can lead to problems (Carrick is the first example). It is true that the England coach has no obligation to have their dial players, but there is a medium and, in the case of Fernando, it was a mistake not to controls necessary in advance. If nothing else, it would have saved a lot of faffing squad announced Thursday.

Hodgson, to give him his due, has been very proactive since awareness of the seriousness of the issue and there is a great irony that has done so much to ensure that Fernando is involved when, until that in recent weeks, the same player may have been removed for all England manager seemed to care.

The irony is that other important part of the argument goes back to the fact that Ferguson planning accessory FA has left United with two games in three days after the international break. Sunderland first play Saturday at noon, then another kick at the beginning of next Monday in the FA Cup quarter-final replay at Chelsea. Ferguson said that Fernando wants to be involved in two games, and if you really feel that playing for England is unrealistic United manager would be logical to try his first club. It is true that sometimes it goes with all the subtlety of a hammer, but there must be a legitimate concern given the problems of fitness of the player.

Point

Ferguson was that he was not worried about Fernando necessarily play additional games, but more of what is happening between games and, in particular, the 34-year- being removed from the old program fitness carefully designed that States have developed.

It is hard to imagine the game time is not a factor that allows you to follow Ferguson, but even if we took him at his word, not particularly clear why seems wary of capacity of the FA not to refer the reader like a shipwreck. Hodgson later talks with Manchester United were founded primarily to try to reassure him, pointing FA has a small army of coaches, fitness experts and sports scientists who are very used to the different actors who their own needs.

Team Hodgson for the next two games, including seven United players against five Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool three, two of Manchester City, Arsenal and Everton and West Brom and Celtic each. It is vital for Hodgson remains on good terms with Ferguson and, to be fair, he has done very well so far, but the last two days have given a better understanding of why so many of his predecessors found an exhausting experience.
