Mr Hodgson's new job: experience counts

What I most like about the new England football team manager's appointment is that the Football Association gave a big job to a man of 64 (an age when most of us have been regarded as too old for appointment to a new post for at least 10 years), and a job in sports at that. And they did it because of the breadth of his experience and his knowledge.

The newspapers who are saying that he did not do so well in Liverpool are missing the point. If you've been working for a few decades, you're likely to have more and less successful bits of your work. Why not look at someone's achievements?
