et tu brute Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Yorkie said: Not particularly enthused by them appointing a bona fide survival specialist; in fact I'd go as far as to say that they're now favourites for 17th at this precise moment, though that could change depending on our activity in the transfer market this week. We really need to hope Brentford and Leeds get dragged into this fight. Everton present an opportunity for points in the immediate-term but they'll definitely pull away; they've far too much quality and are primed for a new manager bounce a la Villa. I don’t think he was a survival specialist at Palace as they consistently spent more on transfers than the majority of clubs in the bottom half.

Amir_9 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Sam Allardyce was a survival specialist and WBA got relegated. I wouldnt worry too much about it as football in this country at the highest level has clearly changed and some managers with certain reputations have ideas that just aren't effective anymore They are still very much in the thick of it and it's still very much a gamble.

Players like Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson won the league, doesn’t mean they are any good. Same with Ranieri. Yes is might have been a massive fluke, but at the end of the day over 38 games they got more points than anyone else, so fully deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually played fantastic football as well, that was always my issue with those who argued it was Nigel Pearson who should get the credit.

Hodgson's never been relegated and has experience with keeping teams up, he's been there and done it. Watford are nowhere near doomed in terms of the quality they have, so this is a very sensible appointment from them for once. I can see your point. Conversely Ranieri won the PL a few years back and he couldn't do anything with them. Watford are a bit of a poisoned chalice and I just cant see Hodgson doing any better.

MarkyMark Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I’ve seen lots of the ‘Hodgson has never relegated anyone’ patter floating about - which seems to suppose that the stain of relegation only applies to the person in charge on the last day of the season. Footballing musical chairs. Hodgson’s piss poor performance and signings was a key factor in Blackburn being relegated in ‘99 - but he did get sacked just before Xmas with them right in the shite, so apparently his hands are clean. Everton are doing their best to implode - that’s a bizarre appointment if it happens. Looking like a great idea, not getting behind Rafa. Everton are the 2020s Leeds - looking increasingly like they might really ‘do a Leeds’ at present. Edited January 26, 2022 by MarkyMark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It would be fun but it's not worth it cos it'll add to the bollocks chatted about us - loving Rafa who got Everton relegated, and abusing lovely man Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
