He has every reason to comment; he's the England manager and as such he has a right to his opinion as much as anyone, but his opinion actually more significant than most!
Hodgson's quote:
"John, hopefully, will be freed as he was freed in a court of law, and will carry on playing for England," said Hodgson.
"That's my hope. What will happen, I have no idea," he added.
..........................................................................................
He basically wants to see it all go away so he can get on with picking his England team without all this controversey hanging around, and who in their right mind wouldn't want that?!
That's not expressing an opinion on John and whether he's guilty or not!!!
The problem is he is taking sides and hoping terry gets off. when there are plenty who feel he deserves a ban because of how suerez was treated then for me Roy should keep his opinion to himself. It's a big issue and by taking sides he is wrong. What if he had gone the other way and said terry should just do his time. everyone, terry included, would have gone mad. The only difference here is his opinion supports yours.
carrickature - is largely correct; Roy should've kept his trap shut. It's extremely unprofessional to comment on ongoing FA investigations and hearings; he probably has no influence on the proceedings, but a perceived influence can be just as damaging.
However a manager should be able to state; 'I hope the best players are available for selection'. Which is probably how he should have answered the journalist x

Not to mention Rio is going through a similar thing. Why not hope he is freed too? We all know why.

I'm sorry to say, i don't know why! What do you mean by that statement?
Because he doesn't give two hoots about Rio and what happens to him. Roy is firmly in the Terry camp. Draw your own conclusions what that means.
