Originally posted by EddieMac Be careful what you wish for says Roy: [Link] I do think he needs to understand that it is not the results that most people are unhappy with, it's the performances. Brighton are below us (for now) but I doubt many of their fans are complaining given how they are playing. Are there any fans that want to see us play this way for another year? I would even support Roy staying on if he seemed to have other ideas on how to change things up, but aside from minor tweaks he doesn't. With Zaha likely to push hard for a move this summer the tactic of sit tight and hope Wilf does something might no longer be available. I really hope Roy turns things around and gets us over the line, but unless things change in his outlook I hope he then retires with our thanks. However, given he's showing signs of getting crotchety if we do lose tonight maybe it is best to get a fresh face in now to avoid things turning sour. Edited by taylors lovechild (22 Feb 2021 9.33am)

Originally posted by doombear Before I say anything else, Plaistow, I should make it clear that I'm NOT in the Roy must remain brigade. I am one of those who hope he'll be going at the end of the season or earlier if: 1) he wants to leave before then and 2) we are safe from relegation (or relatively safe) and 3) Parish's preferred replacement is available With the injury crisis we currently have (nearly half our first choice 11 unavailable), there's unlikely to be a replacement manager the club can call on who is going to make any difference to our results in the coming few games if things go badly tomorrow night. Any such replacement will still have to work with the same depleted squad with its limitations. The players are saying that they haven't performed and must do better, so let's give them the chance tomorrow to show they can do better. If we can avoid defeat then that will be a decent result. I find the conviction with which you say this staggering. It's like being stuck in some weird hallucinogenic loop of people thinking that no one can do better than Roy, when the whole reason that this thread is so long is largely down to the growing evidence and dissatisfaction from fans that points to the opposite, and of course those who defend him to the hilt.

Originally posted by EddieMac Be careful what you wish for says Roy: [Link] Not too worried about the 'Ambition' and 'kicking on' - just stopping the decline. We're not in a position to Kick on *anymore. It seems to me that without a change somewhere, not necessarily changing of the manager, relegation Is imminent. I do get the feeling from that Article that hodgson feels as though his hands are tied somewhat though. "It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

What Hodgson is saying, and citing Curbishley as an example, is that instead of complaining we should be cheering his stewardship of the team. Who else could have done what he has done with such meagre resources? But he's not bothered either way he says. The bar is set low, survival is all that matters. 11th, 12th, 14th, and probably 16th or 17th this season, so yes Roy, you've fulfilled your mission.

Roy, is being totally realistic, in the independent today.. Not that he has ever not been . He stated from the start , of his tenure, that we needed to invest in the team ,if we were to progress . He is constant, but unfortunately under investment in the team has remained constant also. It’s become part and parcel of football to think if a club doesn’t progress it must be the coach, or managers fault. If the ingredients for success have actually been supplied, that may be a valid call, but in Hodgsons case it’s absolutely clear that hasn’t happened. A manager is not much more than the conductor of an orchestra, and if his players keep hitting bum notes it’s because they are not up to it, not because he can not conduct. This run on Hodgson , would hold water if the club was set up for progress beyond its present status. Its absolutely obvious it isn’t.

Our 'Net Spend' whilst Mr Hodgson has been in charge has been a relative pittance at £10 Mill.To keep us in the PL season-on-season is some achievement. He has met his objective. In the likely event that we get relegated perhaps the focus of ire will spread beyond lacerating Mr Hodgson.

You are quoting my words out of their context. I HAVEN'T Said that there's no-one out there who couldn't do better than Hodgson per se. I said there's unlikely to be another manager out there who could get better results OVER THE NEXT FEW GAMES (i.e. whilst our injury crisis continues) and obviously, any manager out there would have to be available to come into the club at short notice. You seem to have totally ignored the rest of my post which makes it quite clear that I'm not someone who's backing Hodgson to the hilt. I'm sure there are managers out there who could do a better job than Hodgson next season and I hope we will be able to attract one of them, and one who can get us to play better football than we've seen over the last year or so. I see little point, though, in getting rid of Hodgson before the end of the season unless the three criteria I listed are met.

Originally posted by silvertop I understand the contrary is true. Different substance to complaints, but no less vociferous. The truth is ,if you lose more often than win, and find yourself , constantly the poor relation. The fans are not happy. The accusation is the team is either boring or to soft. It’s never, none of this matters as we are so good. The only times fans are really happy is when the team wins often, how is never more than secondary . And it’s been my experience, that applies no matter which division you happen to be in.
