That's why people are bothered. Watford becoming average keeps them up. 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.

Was wondering what was going on with this. Have to say, looking at his CV I am not impressed at all by him. Can see them being in big trouble, just hope we start his reign off by trouncing them.

He’s Moshiri’s unofficial advisor on footballing matters apparently.

 

Could actually take them down.

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.

Would they be the biggest surprise drop since we did 08/09?

Biggest surprise drop since the PL breakaway - probably since Man Utd in the ‘70s.  Everton hasn’t been relegated in over 70 years.

Would say they would be bigger club to drop - especially when factoring in recency bias and the sheer amount of money in the PL now, the amount of money they've spent in last few years, and the levels of investment still available through them with Morishiri. They should be nowhere near the bottom of the league with the amount of money they are spending. 

 

Can't see Everton getting relegated to be honest. Norwich, Watford, along with us are in far worse states; and I think Brentford and one of Palace/Leeds will get sucked into the bottom before the 30 game mark.

Everton in the second division, unlike Newcastle, Villa, Chelsea, Man City or Leeds, is something which hasn’t happened in most of our lifetimes.  They’re a genuine aristocrat of English football - even during a fallow period like this one, they’re rarely in danger of dropping down a division.  Arsenal, Man Utd & Liverpool are the only clubs where relegation would be as historically momentous, IMO.
