I am reminded of the adage "Even a broken clock is right twice a day".

I have actually been in communication with those highly supportive of Mr Hodgson and whilst they appreciate that the squad needs some 'Freshning up', the "Ideas" that have worked in keeping us in the PL should not be jettisoned for a different approach which brings with it an element of risk.

Sometimes major investors and supporters have differing perspectives and the protection of investments by a continuation in the PL with it's global reach and profile is paramount.

A smorgasbord of opinions and prognostications is all part of the rich tapestry of HOL.
You are forgiven!

It makes me laugh a little when supporters , don’t want to be compared ,or have the club compared to , what it was started Charltons, slide.
To be accurate their situation would apply as much to Brighton , as us , if the quality aspect was taken into account. But the situation regarding our position in the league is so much the same it’s totally comparable. And it’s completely comparable in so much as the fans are bored with what looks like no progress. The danger of all this is that we should do as Charlton, did and employ a manager that has nothing in his CV to suggest he could be a better option than the present incumbent, that given the true capacity of the club to supply the needs of the majority of managers with known proven form, not to go backwards, or stand still, but to genuinely improve , the all round standard of play, proved with points in the bag. And not just getting a nice but dim image for the club, stuck just above the relegation line. I for one don’t think Howe, would be our answer. We will need someone that has no problem with being ugly when it’s needed . I don’t see that in Howe.

I want Roy replaced as well .But if you look around who is available and might be available? Its very hard to say they would do a good job ,especially the work that needs doing to our squad.Most managers have at least 1 bad season in 4 whoever it is ? Parish and board need to make sure they get this one right and stay with him .We can't afford another FDB situation.

Cahill is a reassuring presence, not so much Scott Dann any more but he’s been a great servant. We do seem to be looking at younger players, possibly this lad Dragusin at Juventus.
