That is the ideal scenario and one I hope comes to pass. If the Board do make a change and it fails they will have been the reason for the failure starting with the appointment of Roy in the first place. We will all know at the weekend because if a change is going to happen it will have to be at that point.
I hope it does not come to that as I still think Roy is our best bet to pull us through.COYP

I’d like to know why you think this when the form and results this season and much of last say otherwise? We are a busted flush in that teams have worked us out.

They know we play a narrow defence that is easily beaten either by a quick diagonal from midfield to either wing or by turning the centre half’s. Teams overload our aged right hand side and our inexperienced left side and Andersens defending has got worse so our impregnable Hodgson defence now looks more akin to a sieve than a solid wall.

Hodgson relies on a strong defence to gather points and we already know he has little to do with attacking tactics, so not really sure how he is expected to turn things around when his defence is leaking goals and plan A in attack is failing miserably.

Clear we are going down if Roy remains.Time for him to go if we do not win against a very poor Brentford.
Nothing to lose by appointment Cooper.
We may still go down,but with his record,will probably bounce straight back into the Premiership!!

we're taking up rugby?

Why the desire to have Cooper appointed ? Probably only 50-50 to keep us up.

No different to Roy but it’s the hope that kills.

Relegation will be the natural and inevitable result of how the club has been run over the past 11 seasons. Unfortunately hubris got a grip of Parish and Co, they thought they could wing it with minimal investment, a star player (Wilf) and a by now out of tune experienced manager.
It's last chance saloon, Unless immediate remedial action is taken time's up. Welcome back to the Championship Mr Parish, have you sold all the seats for your new stand?

Hodgson relies on a strong defence to gather points and we already know he has little to do with attacking tactics, so not really sure how he is expected to turn things around when his defence is leaking goals and plan A in attack is failing miserably.

My main reason is that he has knowledge of the players strengths and weaknesses and has ,when all the players fully fit , them performing successfully as per last season and the beginning of this season.. He is aware of what is needed to top the squad up to cover his perceived weaknesses. We played narrow as you call it when we won games as well as when we lost. Anderson as you say needs to up his game but to imply that Hodgson is responsible for his poor performance is pushing it, players have good and bad spells.
The alternative of bringing in a new manager now is more risky. He needs to get to know the players and make a quick judgement on who he needs to strengthen the squad based on just a short time. He may achieve that but it is more risky than Roy getting in players.
You toss your coin and hope for the best either way but for me we would be better bringing in a new man at th3 end of the season whichever division we end up in. To get relegated with a manager we bring to save us and fails will be more damaging in the long run than failing with Roy, whom I believe will keep us up anyway.
Glad I am not the person making the decision.COYP

In the event of a fairly inevitable relegation, how much would the owners & players actually care ?? A tricky question, not.

To be fair, the Premier League was originally called the Premiership but changed to Premier League in 2007/8. Hodgson still calls it the Premiership which underlines how out of date he is.
