Roy Hodgson assisting with Iraq ‘early exit’ strategy

Sources close to the Pentagon revealed on Monday that Roy Hodgson is being consulted on the creation of an early exit strategy for US forces in Iraq, following their redeployment last week.

The England manager was approached on Saturday after he demonstrated an incredible ability to enter a foreign country, screw things up beyond repair and then leave again within a matter of days.

US military officials said they’d never seen anything like it, and were considering Hodgson for a permanent senior position on the US defence staff.

“This man has managed in a couple weeks what the US took eight years to do first time around in Iraq,” said US Secretary of Defence Chuck Hagel.
