You can’t help but believe that there is something in the rumours of players not liking him after that second half, it was almost like they went out there to blow it on purpose, it was that bad.

I don’t think he will go, but you know what will happen, six games into next season he will get sacked and we will be looking at another write off of a season. It’s a painful watch at the moment and I don’t know where or how it gets easier. A defeat to toulouse and results going against us and we could genuinely find ourselves in a relegation scrap

You may not like or even respect your coach or manager but these are professionals who should go out and give their all and take pride in their performance.

Hodgson needs to go and take some of the players with him.

I like Brett but instead of a top 6 battle I firmly believe we are in a relegation battle and the big fat 0 that is becoming regular in halves or full games means he hasn't got the coaching ability to turn this around. Tony smith please

I be was with you until you mention Tony
Brill in his day but we need a young hungry coach.
Thing with Brett is he’s an intelligent systems coach but man management isn’t his strength. Think we need to stick with him and hopefully get a couple of wins.

I was just thinking smith till the end of the season, just someone to get us probably just a couple more wins to keep us safe . I really don't think Brett has anymore wins in him

Re: Hodgson : Fri Jul 22, 2022 11:15 pm  

My posts on Brett have been the same inc end of last season !
Nice guy but not a head coach

I said the same re Radford in 14-15

Adam seems terrible at hiring head coaches and then managing them

Yes tbh I’m not hopeful of us getting any wins.
Pearson Hodgson coaching group need a clear the air talks with the players. Personal professional pride , they must surely be hurting regardless of whether they follow Hodgson or not.

Worrying thing is his appointments at City were a mixed bag too, cant thank the guy enough for the money he has invested but he has to take his share of the blame for the continuing mediocrity

Re: Hodgson : Sat Jul 23, 2022 6:05 am  

If he is still in charge next season I dread to think what the pass holder numbers will be, tonight really felt like the last straw for a lot of people

100% agree, we saw it towards the end with Radford, we saw glimpses with it with Last and we are now seeing it with Hodgson, all with a similar core group of players. It’s unacceptable, the culture and attitude from players is probably the biggest issue this club faces at the moment, and it seems no matter who comes in it’s still there.

His share of the blame? It is all his fault. He makes the appointments and the terminations. Unfortunately for FC there is no alternative money man in the wings and no one can sack an owner.

AP is a great guy and has rescued the Club. Trueman and Hoy signings prove he's a big fan and financially ok for now.

BUT it doesn't make him a great man manager. Head Coaches need managing. Shane Richardson had Sean McCrae working his socks off. As soon as Shane left then the wheels fell off quickly and all of a sudden it wasn't Sean's fault anymore. Sean used the cancer word as a smokescreen for his own failings.

Adam is the one constant in all these failed head coaches. Look at the Cleveland Browns ( of whom I'm a passionate fan since 1989).
I know them nearly as well as I know FC. Haslams are like Adam. Very generous and kind and kept the Clubs afloat.

However, they stuck by the head coach who had a record of 3-36 - Hue Jackson. They then brought another clown in after that.

Nice wealthy people who still can't manage.

Adam seems to be falling into that trap. BH is no head coach at FC. If that's the best you can do then the Players aren't playing for you.
0-60 v Wigan same again. Losing at Wakey - same again. KR away - SHOCKING.

AP needs to buy in a world class Coach who can save him money by turning average players into good players and good players into great players, ala Brian Smith.
