Mr Hodgson was brought in to stable the team on the pitch which is what he's achieved for the whole duration of being here, everyone seems to fail to understand that our next manager is the one to watch to improve our standing as a club but this is only going to happen when the funds are available!

Not rocket science.

Until we sort out our right flank we’re in dire straits. The team realize this and so invariably attack down the left which becomes bunched and overcrowded leading to lost possession will silly close quarter flicks which don’t come off.
With current team I’d be tempted to play Mateta and Benteke up front with Zaha in support and go Big Sam long ball route one.
Sad...but needs must..

Arguably another manager could do better than Roy with this squad. The real issue is everything has gone stale over time, same manager, same players for too long.
Roy has done a great job with lack of investment in the squad compared to teams we are competing against, but we have reached end of the road.
Franck is the best option, bit of a gamble, but something new is needed. Howe had much more money invested in his team at Bournemouth, but still got them relegated.

Had a bad dream last night that we had lost our next six games and Roy was still not sacked as we moved into the bottom three without hope.

The club has to be viable, our stadium reflects our standing on the pitch, we're improving our Academy which is important to encourage new up and coming youngster's, we are only a few new additions from being able to compete with consistency which is what is required to achieve what you seem to be saying albeit OTT. Our Stadium though in all reality is a disaster and this you will find is holding us back hugely.

It seems difficult for one or two to comprehend that some fans want both a new manager and a couple of new players to refresh the squad. It’s not either or.
It seems somewhat incongruous that when we lose some would have it that it’s down to the players , but when we win it’s down to Hodgson’s acumen as opposed to those same players.
Some argue in favour of Hodgson and refer to the days of Trevor Francis and Peter Taylor and trot out the old cliche about ‘be careful for what you wish for.’
But it’s not exactly comparing apples with apples and Hodgson is working with a far superior squad packed with experienced internationals.
I go back to the days of Don Rogers and Vince Hilaire and I’m not convinced Hodgson would have played them even at their pomp.
He’d be asking them to track the full back and learn how to play the role from Townsend.
Yes, I know it’s a different era.
But great players will always flourish if given the opportunity.
