I was disappointed when Hodgson was re-appointed for this season, believing that he should have seen last season's cameo as a final hurrah and that it was time to move on. However, once he was appointed, I backed him as he was our manager and I was hoping that he would have us playing more on the front foot as we did during his cameo. A combination of injuries to key players and his natural cautious approach resulted in the return of Royball, however. I accepted it until he began making his somewhat off-the-cuff remarks about youngsters and fans and his allowing his frustrations to get the better of him. I sense he may have reached the point of treading water and that's not good enough. I have been supportive of Hodgson during his tenure at the club, recognizing that he was managing an ageing and declining squad during his 4 year tenure and that he achieved the board's aim of PL status retention. I would not be unhappy if he and Parish agree it's time for him to step down before the January window and allow someone else to take the reins. As to who? Well I would hope Parish has been sounding a few unemployed managers out. Cooper till the end of the season wouldn't be a disaster IMO. It would enable us all to see whether he has what it takes to turn us round. It also enables him to keep his options open for next season.

Yes, this. Total bunkum re being “ scared “ of a new manager. Although if one person is, I would say it is Steve Parish. You do Hodgson a disservice in your description of his career. He wasn’t suited to the very top jobs such as Liverpool or England, but he’s done well and is highly respected for his work elsewhere. I personally know players that played for him at Fulham and also the Swiss National team, and he is held in the highest regard by them. While the pre season talk was of a push forwards towards a top ten finish, that talk wasn’t backed up by bringing in players, Lerma excepted, that we’re going to have an immediate impact on the squad in areas that have been deficient for some time now. Couple that with the injuries we have had and those mitigating circumstances must have been taken into consideration. Because if you look only at results, the managers position would be seriously called into question by the club. I was disappointed when Roy was re-appointed because I thought it was time for a change. But he was appointed for a reason and that reason hasn’t changed. My hope is that Parish has a forward thinking plan that will re-set the way the club is currently being run Edited by NEILLO (24 Dec 2023 11.45am)

He needs time to recover and consider his options. 19% win rate in the Premier doesn't isn't a good record.

After Nottm Forest were promoted they signed 29 players in their first season back in the PL.This season they have signed 14 players. Cooper found it challenging having such a large squad.

Pointless at Stamford Bridge and vs Brentford, there is no other option than to relieve Roy from his job.

Roy is draining the life out of our team. Andersens statement after Brighton was damning, if that is the general mood amongst the players then Roy has lost the dressing room

Apropos the comments by Anderson, what was reported could have been taken out of context.
