FA approach Hodgson

Roy Hodgson has been approached about the England manager's job, the Football Association have confirmed.

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace granted permission for the FA to hold talks with their 64-year-old manager, and Hodgson has already had a conversation with FA chairman David Bernstein.

No approach has been made to Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp, who had been viewed as the favourite to succeed Fabio Capello.
