Hodgson got us into europe. It just fell away after that
hope you are not defending him, he took over a team with players like Flowers, Hendry, Sherwood, Sutton, Gallacher, Ripley, Duff and bought players like Valery, Davidson, Dailly, Peacock, Blake, Davies, Pedersen.
Buying and selling is the most important part of being and manager, and Hughes has no experience, hopefully he will do really good, but we will just be a stepping stone anyway
Pedersen was a Tony Parkes signing, but you're right he did make some shocking signing! That will be one of the big tests for Hughes; the transer market. Being an international manager means they concentrate on the players they have, not ones they want. Though saying they international managers have to scout up and coming talent also.
I am hoping he will help Jansen to maybe regain confidence and start to play like he used and still can. Also if players like Emerton can get some confidence it will be excellent.
If only we'd kept Grabbi, Hguhes could have taught him how to shoot!
