Well, I'd suggest there are three possible scenarios to play out: a) We start picking up a load of W's and points, shooting up the table as a result of managerial masterclasses. b) We continue seeing the performances we are accustomed to without Wilf and sometimes with him of late and end up getting relegated off the back of one of the worst runs we've ever witnessed (performance and results wise) c) We limp over the line, or maybe even with some comfort survive the drop this season. If hypothetical situations a) or b) play out there will be a hella lot of 'I told you so-s'. If it is to be c) then yes I think you're right. If RH's contract is extended it'll probably be more than another 200 pages, if it isn't there will still probably be some debate driven by whoever takes over and the following seasons performances and results.

I am actually insulted by being compared to Charlton fans and will now deal with a couple of Roy's points. A most excellent post.

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. surely if we're sucked into a relegation scrap then we should entertain the idea of bringing someone in this season? We should be taking points from the next two games (minimum 3) if we don't, the two games after that are harder in Man U and Spurs. Then there are ten games left. Would like to think that Mr Parish has some hard deadlines on when to start pushing certain buttons if our points and performances don't improve. Still, if we somehow bag 4 points from the next two games that should chill things out a bit and we'll likely hobble over the finish line.

As Chris Sutton said, 'surely they don't want to go back to what it was before Hodgson?' All kicking off again after Leeds and Burnley the latter being a bit of a shocker. Roy and Ray a respected team they have done a top job here. A valid comparison by RH to Charlton look what happened to them after Curbishley, wanted the moon didn't they.

I am hoping what Roy said has been reported incorrectly or his words taken out of context. If he genuinely said and believes what was reported then he is no longer the sort of manager we want at our club. I think some on here see things a bit too black and white with regard to what is considered progress. It doesn’t mean going from defensive dross to playing fancy football like Barcelona at their peak or challenging for the Premier League title. There are plenty of grey areas in between. I would be totally satisfied with finishing in the upper end of the lower half of the table every single season if I saw some effort in the cups and some progress in the direction of the squad. A little bit of quality added here, a few old ‘uns shepherded out the door there, but continual progress all the same within our financial constraints. However, all I have seen for the last 2 years is a movement in the opposite direction. Players being given contracts they never should have had and a slow but consistent decline in our on field performances. So when some say Roy is the man to stick with I simply ask, why? Where have we improved as a team under him?

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |
