Everyone hates him after England, He comes across as a bit of a boring tw*t as well, and sometimes looks pretty out of touch. At Championship level however and lower Premiership level, he would sort a fair few things out. He'd probably be able to draw in some very respected players and coaches based on his reputation and experience. I wouldn't like him as a figure head for our club, but I think at the moment, we need an experienced man who can sort out: Training, coaching, how we set up all over the pitch. The transfer policy, the players mental frame. Another young, exciting up and coming manager I think would just slip into the old comfortable mold. I think we need an experienced head to get things sorted, then the next manager we could go back to the young exciting up and coming manager. I'd still much prefer Big Sam for that role, but Wroy is not the worst shout in the world, in my opinion.
Roy is disliked for his speech impediment and failure to get England to beat Iceland but seems an honest gentleman with an impressive CV. Sam is disliked because he is a lying greedy chewing gum chomping sneering horrible boring football prick.
But a more effective manager than Roy! I've notice the language on here has gone up a notch! I thought swearwords got starred out if you didn't edit it yourself? There as certain words that don't get effected by that anymore. Is this the site getting down with the kids?!
Manjy people moan that AN chooses favourites rather than players in much better form, tell me, pray, how does Roy Hodgson differ? Most "in form" players never even make the England squad, let alone the team!
I don't know, I've not touched any settings since I joined. Let me try sear words that increase in intensity, and see what the threshold is!
^This^ Plus he took 'unfashionable' Fulham to the final of the Europa League, where they narrowly lost late on to Atletico Madrid, having guided to club to 7th the previous season to qualify. <just saying> I'm not saying I want him here, or that he's the answer, but to just lumber along, in rudderless ship mode, as we are is most definitely not the way forward
I was thinking of his Fulham tenure when I wrote that, yes. It was a while ago that now though isn't it? England tenure might have broken him.
The large number of clubs and countries would suggest he is not very successful at long term management. I think that CV works against him not for him!
It is not the Norwich way to get in a really experienced manager. Just go through the list of managers we have had since the birth of the club - there are perhaps just three managers that had any sort of pedigree before coming to Carrow Road - Ron Saunders, Nigel Worthington & Chris Hughtom, and none of these had any serious pedigree to talk of. So I do not expect that to change if/when AN eventually leaves but from what is currently available I would be happy with RH over yet another "junior" manager.
I would like Hodgson to come in as Director of football to help Neil out with a view to taking over if results don't improve .
