Now that Redknapp has been cleared of the tax evasion malarky, I can't see any real opposition to him getting the post if he wants it. The FA were open enough to suggest that he "might" be one of the candidates, which for an organisation like that is like saying "we really want this guy". He's well respected, he's forthright and outspoken, and is a strong enough character who knows enough to the England squad to have proper control of the team before the Euros.
Whether he'll take the job. that's another question. He has always struck me as a guy with a lot of national pride - even if the pay isn't as good, he might be tempted by that side of things.
