Glenn Hoddle's Controversial Last Interview Before Being Sacked as England Manager (1999)

[@chrissayeranderson5710]

How on earth would that come up in conversation with an England manager. He is entitled to his beliefs ,but people have to be mindful of other peoples when you are in the public eye.

[@DavidMichaels-q5d]

just like the boxer Tony Bellew, who keeps bringing up the subject of paedophiles when being interviewed about boxing, and i cannot think for the life of me WHY he's doing it. The 2 subjects are completely unrelated. Weird.

[@realtalk8665]

He was very naive to force his beliefs into his job shame as he was a the perfect manager for England

[@SPARKLEGOTSECTIONED]

​@@realtalk8665 Dennis said Hoddle was a dribbler 😂

[@-gn7sn]

A simple "no" would've sufficed Glenn. Also it's specific not pacific.

[@r4h4al]

No it wouldn't, it wouldn't have been much of an interview then would it?

[@SPARKLEGOTSECTIONED]

​@@r4h4al great dribbler according to Dennis 😂

[@tomduggan51]

ITN Archive, Thanks for footage of this interview-a very confusing situation & a possible case of bad reporting & badly stated views-in any case it led to a man losing a highly prestigious job & the consequences for everyone thereof.

[@NickLoTurco]

So he said he didn't say it (25 times) and he still got sacked?

[@pcozzy]

Because he did say it just in a bit riddle he said... some people are born with one leg or one arm and that's karma working from another lifetime 😂 What other outcome can you come to as to what he actually meant.

[@Khemadhammo]

In many Indian religions, including Buddhism, karma is seen as a law, not as a form of justice. Karma doesn't justify how somebody is born, just like the law of gravity doesn't justify somebody falling from a high building. If you can't distinguish between a Christian notion of justice and an Indian notion of karma, then maybe just let the man play football.

The law of the universe , or ‘dharma’, is absolute

Glenn was my football hero as a kid and remains my favourite player of all time. He was a very innovative coach and though maybe his man management skills were lacking at times, he was well thought of by the likes of Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand and Alan Shearer. A completely stupid and unnecessary sacking by the clueless FA who appoint Kevin Keegan as Glenn's replacement, who openly admitted that he was out of his depth at international management. Still the FA don't have a great record when it comes to appointing England managers.

[@frozenice61]

glen was only 39 and this cost england dreadfully ,he would have won the world cup and taken england to a total new level

[@UnslaviaYourself]

How to ask the same question 10 times.

[@mattford9044]

And he came back as himself😂

[@dommidavros2211]

Fcking rediculous he got fired because some idiot mis-quoted him! I'd have sued the FA for wrongful dismissal!

[@MFV86]

Dennis sounds like HR

[@chrisevans5336]

His agent is/was Dennis Roach IIRC. Hoddle had made a poor start to Euro 2000 qualifiers so would've been sacked sooner or later that year I think just for results.

[@MFV86]

@chrisevans5336 cheers

[@r4h4al]

17:59 Basically an admission after he spent 18 minutes before that saying he didn't say it. :)

[@ParanormalDramaLlama]

nope

[@HALFSQUASHED]

Nah, yer ears aren't working properly

[@JanSaevebek]

Listen again, your ears need cleaning out

[@r4h4al]

@@JanSaevebek I don't need to listen again, don't understand what you're trying to say.

if that changes in years to come 😅😅😅

Reincarnation is a fact and so is NDEs. In 2024 .Do the research

[@paulos9900]

"do the research" Code for : I saw something on the internet that agrees with what I want to believe. There is no possible way anyone could prove if reincarnation is real or not via "research". As for near death experiences, lots of people have reported experiences and I'm sure a lot of them are genuine experiences..... That is all there is to it. They do not prove anything about anything.

[@paulrispin4989]

You have an interesting definition of a fact.

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

You are in need of psychological help

[@mikej557]

@@paulrispin4989 it's pretty obvious tho. You will have to wait to die to know for a fact, but there's enough research and testimony to understand the basics right now.

[@mikej557]

He was kind of right anyway.

[@brokinfan]

😮

[@mikej557]

@@brokinfan what? Have you not studied the available knowledge on reincarnation? Nobody is being punished for anything, but everything is about karma and the karmic cycle. A soul may choose to incarnate into a disabled avatar for an experience and a way to settle karma. It may not be karma for themselves but someone else within their soul group, their parents perhaps. There is no punishment, its a choice made by the person themselves based on settling karma from previous incarnations. Glen probably didnt understand all this back in the early 2000s, but I bet he does by now. So much amazing work on this subject has been compiled in our lifetime. Peace ✌️

[@BillOdyssey]

Nah.

[@lucasm3879]

@@mikej557There is no ‘available knowledge’ on reincarnation. There is actually exactly zero proof that there is any kind of afterlife or god. There are stories written in books, but there’s no poof any of it is actually true. It’s all ultimately just down to blind faith. Everyone is free to believe what they want - but don’t try and talk about reincarnation like it’s some kind of proven fact. You sound ridiculous.

[@r4h4al]

Whether he's right or not it's his personal belief, sacking him is like sacking because they're a Muslim or a Christian.
