At the moment Hodgson is flavour of the month, how many other managers have been in the same position gone on to bigger clubs with better players and failed ,

Curbishly media darling a few years ago went on to West ham dearly destroyed them. take your pic of other media flavour of the months, there are a few,
Answer me honestly would you have brought him here after he got jibbed at Blackburn. Why all of a sudden is he good enough for this club with one Europa cup final under his belt,
We should not be lowering our sights im afraid, and anyway i think that any manager who comes here and gets more than a twelve month contract means them two arnt going nowhere,
do you want the likes of Robert Ernshaw here , Roy is a big fan of hes , tried to sign him a few times i believe, but the timing wasnt right,
At the end of the day in my eyes He is not good enough to manage this club, and his name wouldnt of even been getting talked about if it wasnt for the twa.ts that we have in charge or a big up from the media, If he is that good how come England never earmarked him for the job there, How come Chelsea overlooked him and appointed Ancelloti, Why didnt City say here are Roy lad sign there instead of Mancini, And yet hes good enough for us .

Wobert Earnshaw .. last piece in our jigsaw :laugh:

Talking about Darren Bent, if we'd have had him instead of N'Gog last season I think we'd have finished higher than 7th. He is exactly the type of player who defences hate playing against as well, and lower league defences would sh.it themselves with a bloke of his pace running at them. If we'd have had bent, we'd have seen off Reading at home in the Cup no bother I think.

To be honest tho, I don't think Sunderland would sell him to us. We should have gone in for him when Spurs were bombing him out, they picked him up for about 10 million. Who would you rather have, Aquilani or bent?

I see people are still talking about Hodgsons speech defect as well. It's just a shame that they can't comcentrate on his football knowledge, or even lack of it if they don't like him. I've never believed in disrespecting Liverpool managers or even potential future Liverpool managers to be. Criticse them on football grounds by all means, but leave the cheap shots about speech defects and sunglasses out of it. Best fans in the World? Well I hope Hodgson or any potential new manager doesn't listen to phone ins or visit forums. They'll think we're supoported by a bunch of 10 year old kids the way some people carry on.

Ironic how some of 'the best fans in the world' are crying about a mediocre manager when we had to sit and watch the likes of Insua, N'gog and Lucas player big part roles in our lofting 7th finish.
:laugh:

Now the 'best fans on the forum' :laugh:

(who THINK they are) :laugh:

are personally abusing a prospect manager. I bet they didn't like the fat Spanish waiter stuff either, but irony and hypocrisy seems to be a trait they share when it suits their agenda.

By all means critique the manager, he wouldn't be most fans' first choice but to personally abuse him, ha, best fans in the world, my a.rse, their true colours are shown when things don't go their way and toys are being thrown out the pram.

It's a fuckin disgrace

Once againI'll say that I don't think Hodgson will be our manager, but since everyone keeps going on about him I checked out his record on Wiki. In actual fact, it's much better than people on here think.

He won the Swedish league title with a team called Halmstads, twice. Apparantly they were rubbish and relegation material when he took over. Winning the league with them was one of the biggest surprises of all time in Swerdish football apparantly. He won five leagues with Malmo, and the club liked him so much they named a corner of their ground after him. They also offered him the job for life. He knocked the then Italian Champions Inter Milan out of the European Cup while at Malmo, causing a magor shock. After that he went to a Swiss team who I'vwe never heard of and during his time there knocked out Real Madrid and Celtic. He is credited as being one of the founders of the zonal marking system (you can't have everything) and is often used by FIFA and UEFA as one of their technical coaching directors, being respected by football people throughout the world as an excellent and knowledgeable coach.

Hodgsons next job was at Switzerland as the international manager. He took the team to the 1994 World Cup finals, and on the way there they lost only one game in the qualifying group which contained Portugal and Italy. The italians were managed by Saachi, and were defeated in the World Cup final on penalties. Hodgsons Switzerland team took four points off them in qualifying, it would have been 6 but they let slip a 2-0 lead in Italy. This was the Swiss's first world cup since 1966. They qualified out of the group at the finals, but were beaten in the last 16 by Spain. They then easily qualified for the Euro 96 tournament, but Hodgson left before it to take over at Inter Milan. At their best, the Swiss got as high as 3rd in the FIFA rankings under Hodgson.

At Inter, Hodgson was brought in to arrest a terrible decline, and succeeded in taking them to 7th from a releation slot and qualified for the EUFA Cup. They got to the final of it the following season, losing on penalties over two legs. the team which Hodgson had carefully built up went on to finish second in the Italian serie A the following season, and win the Uefa Cup. He is still loved by fans and the board at Inter.

He then left to go to Blackburn. I've copied and pasted what it said there.
In the 1997 close season, Hodgson was tempted by Jack Walker to replace Ray Harford at Blackburn Rovers.Rovers had finished 13th under Harford the previous season – only 2 seasons after winning the title—and had been in danger of relegation; Walker wanted Rovers to challenge consistently for European football. In the 1997–98 season—his first season in charge – Blackburn finished 6th, qualifying for the UEFA cup and appeared to be in the ascendancy. However, Hodgson's second season with Blackburn would prove to be disastrous, both for the club and for his personal reputation within English football. Hodgson spent £20m in the summer of 1998 to strengthen the Rovers side[8]. A succession of poor buys – notably the £7.5 million Kevin Davies—coupled with injuries and dressing room unrest led to a disastrous start to the season. He was sacked in December 1998 with Rovers at the bottom of the league table.[9] His final game was a home defeat to Southampton.

Anyway I'm running out of puff now, but he has done well since then as well. I don't think he will be our new manager, but he isn't exactly a muppet and if he is to be our boss, I won't be having pops at him before he's even taken the job.

The thing about Hodgson - can he make the best of limited resources and limited squad potential? The answer in terms of what he did at Fulham is yes if I had to make a choice between Rafa and Hodgson just on this criteria alone I'd go with Hodgson every time.

by **Molby's bellybutton fluff** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 1:41 pm

Oh I'd take Hodgson every time in that scenario. Rafa's time was up with us, the players had stopped playing for him and once that happens you have two choices. You either have a mass clearout and sell the lot of em, or you get shot of the manager. Obviously we had no choice. Another season of Benitez would have been an absolute disaster in my opinion.

by **NANNY RED** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 2:39 pm

Daws ive said it before , its not about Rafa ffs ,Roy Hodgson is not good enough to be manager at this club, Its a fecking joke And i will guarentee you that if Benitez would of gone last season and Roys name was favorite or bandied about as our next manager you would of had the ones who are just going against the grain for the sake of it , as well as the ones who are against it now , coming out and saying the same,

Funny in it how the ones who hated our previous boss are all for Roy , as i said would they have said the same thing 6 months ago . No the fecking wouldnt,

by **dawson99** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 2:44 pm

nan, its funny how the ones who hated??? none of us hated him, its just the ones who actualyl watch football with head and heart, not just heart see that he was done, hed taken us as far as he could, we loved him while he was here, but we're ready for change

Also, there are some of us who can see that Hodgson maybe deserves a little respect as well... and those of us who got carded for saying we were happy Rafa is gone are slightly perturbed that everyone seems happy to take the p!ss out of Roy non stop, and it'll be funny when he gets the job and you all have to backtrack

But he is not our manager ,fact and as i have said a few pages back if he eventualy does become our manager i would never abuse him, i might not like him but id never abuse him. you see thats the diffence Daws ,People through abuse at our manager .our manager while he was employed by us, Roy is not employed by us, and if and when he does become employed its a different scenario . So why is it backtracking,

HE HAS GOT FECK ALL TO DO WITH US AT THE MOMENT,

by **dawson99** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 3:02 pm

Give it 2 or 3 days

All I'm saying is why is everyone more than happy to slag someone off without any reason? He's coming to us, we may as well accept it, and it could be worse...
