Excluding the HDM clutter,...

“We’ve had our conversations with Ben,” Hodgson said.
“He knows where his future lies and I’ll wait for that to come out in due course.
“This isn’t the forum to speculate on that, as I said, Ben knows, his management know and we’re aware of what his situation is.”

Hardly rocket science, players prefer to announce new deals (rather than "no deal"), so let's wait and see.

(OT Premiership agents earned about £270m last year, about the same as broadcasters paid ManU. )

For me, we'd have been better with a proven coach, simply because they'll have faced adversity, at some point before in their coaching career. Hodgson has never had to stand up alone as the go to guy previously, that was always the head coach, so he has no experience of handling the situation he faced towards the mid-point of the season, which for me, Rovers game apart, he handled pretty badly. His bench rotation, at times, was bizarre and he certainly lost some of the players, although we don't know if, behind the scenes, moves were in place to oust several before their contract's were up.

Who did you have in mind ? As most of the Aussie coaches who come over here not head coaches or did you have someone in mind from GB

Ideally I'd have liked Shaun Wane, as his teams, sometimes devoid of flair, were aggressive and left nothing in the stands . I am obviously not privy to whispers within the game as to who was available, but I am sure AP was and I feel sure we could have recruited even a stop gap like McDermott, who at least would not take the current attitude shown by certain players without confronting it. I am not saying that Hodgson hasn't , but whatever, if we stick or twist it is depressing to watch our team at the moment.
