I suppose your right he's our manager now and we don't want to be given the bitters any ammo

my only problem with saying he hasnt got a decent trophy in a decent league to boot is..........

look at the teams hes been at, he hasnt really been given the chance..

switzerland (national team never win shittt)
fulhum
blackburn
udinese
inter (only for 2 years, when in the era of mighty milan and juventus) people see inter on his cv and suddenly think of them as the current dominant force they are......back in his time milan and juventus were much bigger than inter

Not many managers win major trophies if they aren't at a club that has the means to do so. Relative to expectations, though, on the whole he has generally done a pretty reasonable job throughout his career. And besides, now he's at a club that usually has the means to win major trophies - all being well with the sale of the club - he'll have those opportunities. I suppose you'd better start getting used to the fact that he's the manager of the club you support.

the question is would any of the big clubs of hired him ?

I am used to him at club - doesnt mean i have to like it or not be very disappointed by the appointment .

We spent 9 million on replacing a manager with someone of a lower standard IMO

Alright then, he did an excellent job at Fulham. He was brilliant at Malmo. At Inter, he was the Don. In Switzerland, they named clocks after him. Sounds better doesn't it? The fact is that with the squad Rafa left AND with the ownership situation still unresolved, we needed a manager who could get more for less, especially in respect on our domestic form. We could have done a lot worse than Hodgson on that score. Frank Rijkaard and many of the foreign candidates probably wouldn't know where to start. Hodgson has the advantage of having been a Prem manager - and recently. That should autmoatically mean he's followed Premier League football, and being a knowledgable, cultured man like he is, I'm sure he kept an eye on our progress, saw where we went wrong and what we might need to do to put it better. Without such experience a manager would maybe need a test season in order to find out that Babel is a lazy c...t, or that Lucas can't play alongside Masch in the centre of the park and perhaps isn't good enough anyway. If there's loadsamoney, it isn't such a problem because you'll have quality in reserve anyway or can make changes in January once you've work itout, but where there isn't you need to be smarter, and in Hodgson we've gone with the latter.

I just don't get why, when Rafa was here, you were so certain he would succeed, and now Hodgson's arrived you're so sure he won't. The forum knew you as a natural optimist; that's why you used to ask so many bloody questions along the lines of "but how do you know that?". We're known for our patience and understand so why not afford Hodgson the same open-minded approach you were willing to grant Rafa for so long, even in the darkest days.
