West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson is happy with his contract situation at the Hawthorns.

Hodgson is only under contract at The Hawthorns until the end of the season - and seems quite content with that scenario.

He said: "I think it's right to keep one's options open.

"The situation I have here's a very good one. I enjoy my work here and hopefully people appreciate the work I'm trying to do. I'm happy to keep my options open but I haven't kept them open for any particular reason, and I certainly haven't kept them open in relation to the England job.

"I've heard the FA say they want the best man for the job and I don't think whether people happen to be in or out of contract would necessarily affect that situation."
