Well he was open to the idea of becoming Harry's assistant at Euro 2012 had Redknapp been offered the job. I'm sure international football intrigues him and even the England job but not now. If Roy left the England job this summer (highly unlikely unless his team are an utter embarrassment in their remaining two games) it isn't going to be Brendan taking up the reigns. He's too young and he's got a lot of goals and unfinished business to do at Liverpool. I would never say never with regards to the distant future. I think he would be interested in the job as he has come through all the ranks of English coaching and instinctively knows the DNA of the national game more than anyone, likewise with Roberto Martinez who will no doubt be mentioned in future as well. In fact I would say it's more likely that Martinez will be England manager in future because, and no offence to Everton, it's easier to prise a manager away from them than it is with Liverpool.
I'll just put it out there as well but watch Sean Dyche's profile raise next season as Burnley manager. Given his Brendanesque style of play I wouldn't be surprised if Burnley do well in 2014/2015 and, naturally, his name is touted as the successor to Roy. Sean could conceivably be touted as a successor to Brendan at Liverpool should it ever arise but that's a whole other debate that may not even crop up!
