Bring Back Glen Hoddle

[Clothes Peg]

At risk of being hated...

Surely it doesn't matter what a person's opinon on an unrelated topic is providing they're the best choice for the job. You wouldn't refuse to employ someone on religious grounds, in fact, it's illegal. Doesn't the Hindu belief system work along the same themes(?) ; that one is punished in a later life for indiscretions in this one. *Might have got confused on this one, long time since I did RE*

If he is actually crap in the field of football managing, then fair enough.

Even taking the bizarre outbursts aside he is hardly what I would class as a top manager. After all its not like chairman have been climbing over each other to give him a top managing role is it!

...no, no, no, no, no.

And even more no no no nos

To me, what he said was hugely offensive. When you have conditions like i do - you often wonder - why me? But for someone to say, that you have done something wrong in your past life is equal to say you deserve to be punished. It's disgusting. And to say it when you are in such a high profile position is despicable.

 

[Yorkie]

Besides the comments made by BAG (which I agree with) he hasn't exactly excelled at Wolves.

Sure, I understand it's offensive to some people. But we can't let one man's ignorance stand in the way of the success of England!! But considering he's not up to the job, it's never going to be a real issue!

Personally, I've been at the 'why me?' stage many times. But often, it turns around to a positive point. My condition has made me a stronger, more tolerant and thicker skinned person. A lot of disabled people don't get enough credit for just 'getting on with it' against the odds. I even went to Orient at the weekend hobbling around on my pink polka dot walking stick Can't let people's opinions hold me back.

Dunno, but it's the law innit.

 

[Yorkie]

What religion is he? Spiritualist, Hindu or his own brand?

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Christian Evangelical

No way. He believes in reincarnation which is complete opposite to that or are you on a wind up?

Tis the truth. He states that he also believes in "karma" - hence the "payback" comment.

 

[Seasider78]

"You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. What you sow you reap. You have to look at things that happened in your life and ask why. It comes around"

Hoddle = mentalist

I can think of other words..... and I said them to him when wolves played us a while back

Reincarnation, karma and talking to mediums etc are not Christian despite what the press may report that he has said.
Reincarnation is Hindu, karma is Buddhist and mediums are Spiritualism. He's taken a bit of everything and become a mentalist.

As I said before, he isn't setting the football world alight at Wolves.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Hoddle was a tactically astute manager, but unfortunately he was also an insufferable prick who was actively despised by most of the players.

This is the sadly te case, I dont think it helped he was still better than half the squad.

 

[keaton]

No for many reasons. He was never that good for us, he's looked a shite managers since then, he's a prick, by re-appointing him the FA would be tacitly supporting his views, and on a personal note i don't think religious people should have any non-religious based positions of power

 

[zefarelly]

good club player
mediocre International player
was learning as a manager and did ok at club level

however anyone with religious views they can't keep to themselves should stay in the deep south of America or the middle east, its not required or desirable in the civilised world.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

As anyone read Tony Cascarino's book? He thinks he is a twat as well.

so does that mean if you go to church, you cant be a manager in your local supermarket?
