West Brom midfielder Andrews: Hodgson ideal for England

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Keith Andrews isn't surprised manager Roy Hodgson is an England candidate.

Hodgson has transformed Albion's fortunes during his 15 months in charge and they are already virtually guaranteed a third successive season of Premier League football.

Andrews said: "We all hope Roy Hodgson stays at West Brom but he is linked with England for a reason, the reason being he is very good at his job.

"If you ask the players here, or players who have played under him at previous clubs, all the feedback is so positive and his enthusiasm and love for the game is very infectious.

"People should not be put off by what happened at Liverpool. I'm a Liverpool fan and I was delighted when he got the job.

"Only the FA will know how much that spell has altered their view on him.

"I thought he was unfairly treated, and the circumstances and the timing wasn't great when he went into the club.

"It was certainly a transitional period at Liverpool and didn't quite work out but you look at his pedigree and the experience he has, he is an ideal candidate for England."
