PCW1983 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I can see this being a foot in the door for him at the club, bring him in so he has time to get to know the club then give Pardew the bullet and install him as manager. Pardew seems to be on borrowed time now, I can't see MA appointing anyone other than the Hoddle type. His previous appointments show that it won't be a foreign man, or someone that is doing a relatively good job somewhere else, he will go with ease and with what he sees as experience. Im amazed that Hoddle would want to be associated with the toxic atmosphere that is at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Is this still just from 'Winnetsports' or are any other, more 'credible' sources reporting it yet? It's a load of bollocks mate, just something to talk about whilst we're not playing getting beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 What's he been doing for the last X years anyway? He was a really good England manager, crackpottery aside I think he was a decent manager but he screwed it all up by airing his crazy views. His teams always played decent football and seemed well organised but I did hear he was a bit of a dick to the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 What's he been doing for the last X years anyway? He was a really good England manager, crackpottery aside He ran/runs a football academy in Spain for players who have been released by professional clubs, I think.

Guest reefatoon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I was reading a while back, (some player I can't remember now) saying how much respect he gained from the players in training, as he would put the ball down and do exactly what he was describing. It wasn't just a case of telling them, he would actually do it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I heard rumours that was part of his problem at times too - i.e; he couldn't understand why less gifted players couldn't just do the things he wanted. Possibly that's a bit harsh though. Looking from the outside, he put together about as good an England side as I've ever seen so kudos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Read tony cascarinos book. He tells a totally different story, where hoddle asks the Chelsea players to do skills excercises he knows they can't do just to show them he's the daddy.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ask any decent long-term Chelsea fan and they credit Hoddle as the man that set the ball rolling towards success for them. Tactically the man knows his stuff and he knows how to set a team up to play decent attacking football without compromising on defence. His issues lie in man management, and that's probably why he hasn't really achieved any degree of success as a manager. As a coach he is first-class, as a manager, he is quite poor and that's why international football was so perfect for him, because its mainly a coaching job anyway.
