Pool-bound Hodgson set to reject England approach

ROY HODGSON could be about to slam the door on one of England’s management options.

It is believed Hodgson is finally ready to quit Fulham and join Liverpool, despite being placed high on the Football Association’s hit-list of candidates who could replace Fabio Capello.

Within hours of landing at Heathrow yesterday, Capello was on his travels, back home to Switzerland, where he is expected to have a short break before learning whether he is to remain in his £6million-a-year post or being relieved of his duties.
