The thing the Woy has always been adept at is making teams organised and difficult to play against. He's about as good an appointment as they could make in their current predicament. Agree with this. It’s a really really solid appointment. They’ve got some good players and can create chances but they’re an absolute mess all over this field. Hodgson will sort that out. I was hoping they’d go for a more risky choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Hodgson has been finished for years, would be a dreadful appointment. Edit - oh shit, didn’t realise they’ve actually appointed him Edited January 25, 2022 by Fantail Breeze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I’m not particularly frightened of that appointment to be honest. I don’t think they have the quality palace had. However, he will tighten them up. We just need to focus on us, hodgson is neither here nor there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Wonder how far in advance do they start putting out feelers? Like now are they currently on to Frank Lampard saying keep Easter free as he might be needed? They always seem to have the next manager in place within a day. Crazy structure.

Yorkie Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 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.

gjohnson Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Not surprising to see Watford sack Ranieri, as everyone knows the Pozzos are ruthless and don't buy into the 'manager needs time' thing. Am surprised they've gone for Hodgson though as he's basically the anthesis of their normal appointments. He'll be gone by the end of the season.

Hodgson is a fairly inoffensive type, and Watford have made some decent signings. All he really needs to do is get them somewhat organised and not piss them off.

Clockwork Cheese Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Not looking forward to having to hear 90mins of Ray Lewington shouting his nut off next time I watch Watford.

The College Dropout Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Would love Roy to relegate Watford. Claudio’s a better manager imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thought Hodgson had retired. Don't know why he'd take a job at that basket case of a club other than obviously he must just miss managing and wants a localish job. Bad news for us tbh.

Could never make my mind up about Claudio, he always comes across well in interviews, but his results are always less than you would expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a bit debatable...who would have ever thought he would take Leicester to the title? Id say that was above and beyond anyone's expectations regardless of how weird that season was.

Amir_9 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Leicester's title winning season was momentum, exceptional form from Vardy and all the top teams being inconsistent. Spurs finishing 2nd that year tells you everything you need to know. I suspect Ranieri had the ability to keep those things going rather than any kind of tactical mastermind. Pardew finished 5th with us - sometimes all you need is someone who has the personality and capability to maintain that harmony and momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a really impressive team effort built around exceptional circumstances. Players like Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson won the league, doesn’t mean they are any good. Same with Ranieri.

triggs Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 In hindsight Ranieri obviously set up Leicester well defensively but they won the league because they somehow fluked getting 3 world class players for peanuts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
