I was castrated here a while back for pointing out that this league is an up or out mindset league. You cant survive for long by aiming for mid table obscurity. Playing to not lose or stop the advesary from doing you home. Thats a lesson 73 year old roll of the dice Hodgson has never learnt. So here we are. a 10 man team gouges us at will. And some on here still claim our future in the prem rests on this man? Relying on Zaha antics to give us PL fascia was never going to be a long term strategy. Hodgeson is a gentleman for sure. He is a hack of a manager for shizzle.

If you were looking for a manager and suggested Roy many people would grimace.

I think the first post on here after we recruited him said "there are many questions in football, and Roy Hodgson is the answer to none of them".

He's now not only not good enough, but a hindrance to the teams performance and damaging to the players and club.

Just to reiterate: after the crushing defeat to Liverpool and the BS post match interview about being prepared for the next match etc etc, Hodgson as manager has to take full responsibility for the abject manner of the defeat to a side down to 10 men. Basically the team selection, game plan, motivational skills all fall under his jurisdiction and the performance today suggests that either he lacks in those areas or he has lost the changing room, or maybe a combination of the two. Whatever, there really cannot be any excuses for today's performance.
Go Roy, and take Ray with you!

Nobody owes me an answer of course, but it is noticeable that apart from Swordfish suggesting an internal appointment there are literally no names being put forward as a replacement.

I mean, you do all appreciate that if the club sacked Hodgson, they would need a new manager?

I mean, that's quite important really, isn't it?

Not really.

Theres plenty of managers that could do a better job than Roy.

Prior to his appointment, we'd had a rampant finish to the season and lost our first 3 games

All it took was a manager that didn't play two 20 year old full backs at centre back in a 3-4-3 and we were fine.

Frankly, all is required is someone who'll play their players in their correct position and play to the players strengths.

Roy's reminds me of a throw back from a bygone age of cronyism when Britain was the sick man of Europe. He doesn't have the talent or ability to do the job, but fits in with the powers that be.

There must be hundreds of intelligent, ambitious managers who want his job but have been locked out by an old boys club.

Name one.

That's all I'm asking.

Each week, sadly it is the same old story.

Hodgson has run out of ideas, strategy and today against ten men, we were simply out thought.

To be blunt, it was embarrassing.

We have so many riches in terms of players and yet we look like an amateur outfit.

The Board need to act now before it is too late.
