While I warmed to Andy Last and the obvious job he did in turning us around, I'm quite pleased with this appointment, those who are underwhelmed need to get abit more realistic, when the sky deals reducing by 240k and we've lost a fortune in gate receipts etc we were never signing an expensive Aussie coach.

This for me after hearing people's opinions of him is he next best thing, he may be a gamble , he may turn out crap, but looks like he knows his stuff tactically and seems a real student of the game. So will hopefully solve a lot of the things we bemoan on here regularly. Itl also be good to have a fresh pair of eyes with no biased who can release what needs releasing and identify and hopefully sign quality in the areas we need to improve.

Fingers crossed he's got a good halfback in mind.

Hodgson certainly comes across well in that Radio Humberside interview. Confident and eloquent. Seems to know what he wants and what he expects.

Are you coming round a bit more now

Until we see the bloke's team on the field he's an unknown quantity as was Holbrook and Mcguire, he could well end up being a Stone or Furner too.
He seems well respected and studious, I'm excited for the new season for the first time in a while.

Got to admit i am yes - yesterday i was like wtf as weve had too many failed assistants but today after seeing that video i feel much better about it

I wanted the club to go Australian and as bad as i feel for Last i didnt want us to go down that route so yeah im now 100% behind Hodgson and FC and the new era!

Have to say I’m impressed with Hodgsons interviews so far. What seems clear from what BH has said is that he will demand the players put 100% into what they do at all times.
Also alluded to inconsistency can be down to level of effort put in to training.
Think some players may find it a bit of an awakening.

I just hope they don't do what they did with Peter Sharp and stage a bit of a rebellion because things get too strict, look at the decline that happened when he left.

After Radders and Lasty.
Will the players call him Bretters !!
Always summed up the players attitude for me.
He’s the Gaffer not their besty.

In Brett Hodgsons interview with radio Humberside he said Ellis is going to be the defence coach and Purtill the attack.

"I’m very confident with having both Gareth and Kieron in there in assistant roles and we can move forward".
