Doesn't sound like he's going anywhere
Perhaps as was apparent when we were hearing exactly the same comments about Peter Gentle and Lee Radford, here we have an owner 'bigging up' a very disillusioned Coach who some within the playing squad are again undermining.
If that is indeed the situation then it lends even more weight to the argument that Hodgson is out of his depth and does not have the strength of character to in still discipline in the squad or have control of the playing group or any one undermining him within it. As nice as a guy as Hodgson is for me its just Agar all over again but with an Australian accent, maybe a good coach but is just not a Head Coach.

Pearson is far to loyal to his coaches, Radford stayed 2 years too long and it looks like Hodgson is going to stay after two years of zero improvements on the pitch.
It's his money, but he must know the fans won't keep paying to see what is been served up on the pitch.
We need a big finish to the season and couple more signings to persuade me to get a pass for next season.
Can't argue with you Dave as AP certainly was too loyal to Radford in the end and is seemingly doing likewise with BH who for me has shown nothing in terms of marking a mark with the 1st team with improvements in any aspect its actually quite the opposite. I am tired of hearing the same old rhetoric from the club about injuries and about being patient when to me sitting through season after season we are just repeating the same mistakes and its been jam tomorrow for too long. Most would accept things if we had shown genuine signs of real improvement and strategy etc but in all honesty I just don't see it at all. Whilst its admirable that the club want youth to succeed and have invested in that area that will take at least 3 or 4 years to really start having an impact on the 1st team and that's if all the ones with potential progress. We all know there are no guarantees with youth as some reach potential quickly, some never do while others develop much slower.
As you say its his money but I can't help think he is just wasting it on another unproven Head Coach with a squad that has a rotten core.
For me the play offs are gone and went after the abysmal collapse at Wakey as anyone there could see all the similarities of previous seasons when the team chuck the towel in for a season. The absolute minimum now is without question to win the final 3 home games remaining and frankly anything less than that is just not good enough.
After being a pass holder for more years than I care to admit, this season will likely be my last unless I see real changes/improvements between now and renewal time and based on what I have seen or rather haven't seen under BH tenure I'm not holding my breath. I'll then join the others on the outside and just pick and choose if I want to see a game live.
If in some peoples eyes that makes me a fair weather supporter or not a true support then so be it but life is short and I want to enjoy things in life instead of more continuation sitting through garbage, getting annoyed week in week out as combined with the way the sport is run now and officiated its not enjoyable.
