Hodgson.
“The club would like to thank Roy for his efforts and helping out at short notice when we knee jerk sacked Frank after five minutes. We have decided to take a different direction, with Dougie and Brightie leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of a manager who can take us to the next level .... 19th”.

Smellhurst have played a very strong line up of their PL names.
Shocking result on the cards.
Hodgson never lets you down.

Now we have got to the EPL they are going out of the way to take the limelight away from us by breaking all these records and getting battered by average lower league teams. Shameful shenanigans, can they stoop any lower? Harry for manager?

Listening to Ian Wright on SKY The Debate tonight clearly hinting that the only logical reason Hughton is not being mentioned for the vacancies at Everton or Leicester is because of his skin colour.
Have to say he possibly has a point.

Can't believe people are still talking about this. Ridiculous.
I don't buy it. I think it's because he's lazily stigmatised as a flop in the PL with a boring style. Though that makes it odd that Puel would be favourite for Leicester.

So he's saying his fellow pundits are racists ? Pundits not clubs do 'mentioning.'

After tonight, I wouldn't be surprised - they just keep on giving don't they
If Roy is the next to go it would be absolutely hysterical.
I think I saw on the BBC rumours page about 3 weeks before FDB went that the Sun were reporting that Roy was being lined up to replace him. We will never know what the board's expectations were when Roy was appointed, and let's not forget they had 3 very tough games lined up, but I suspect they hoped for a much better start than this.
If the penny drops that Roy is not the man, can you imagine the exchanges in the board room? Probably less intelligent than this:

Crystal Palace v West Ham this weekend. If the unthinkable happens and Palace somehow scrape their second win, Bilic is surely on his bike......
All for digs at Palace, but simply not true.
They made TEN changes from Saturday's Prem match - a mistake for me. Surely in their current state ANY win is a valuable building block?
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
I wonder why it seems Bilic is under more pressure than Mark Hughes seems to be, both identical records, both similar sort of spending? Hughes you would think will be safe for a while yet, but Bilic appears to be on a knife edge.

One would assume that Billic moves towards the sack with a defeat tonight but even taking into account Spurs will select a weakened team they will be expected to win and you would think that Gold and Sullivan will expect that.

Bilic has been on a knife-edge for months now, but he always seems to get a result just when he REALLY needs one. So in that respect, I'm hopeful he'll get another stay of execution after chiselling out a point or 3 at Selhurst.
Losing to Palace though - that really should be the final straw you would think. I'm not sure he could survive that.

I never said they hadn't made changes from Saturday, just it was very strong line up.
Hennessey
Fosu-Mensah
Kelly
Van Aanholt
Tomkins
Puncheon
Riedewald
Lee
Loftus-Cheek
Sako
There are many hundreds of PL appearances in that lot, players on huge wages and Riedewald played the last four seasons for Ajax. Contrast to a Championship team not based on parachute money.

Not my impression, especially as Bilic handed Hughes c£28m for Arnautovic. West Ham took on high earners too, such as Hernandez (whose transfer fee was comparatively low, but is rumoured to be on £140k/week) and Hart.

It's usually around Christmas/New Year when there is a PL managerial cull....early this year. Hughes will be in trouble if they mess up the next two Watford (a), Leicester (h).

Dyche may leave but I am happy that the Burnley owners did not panic in 2014/15 when after 10 games of the PL season we had a record of W0 D4 L6 . Goals for5 Goals against 19.
Dyche got a good response for the rest of the season with 29 points from the remaining 28 games and I reckon would have kept us up if Dean Marney had not suffered a season-ending injury in February just four days after the transfer window shut.
Dyche was given more time and got us back up as champions the following season on the back of a 23-match unbeaten run. I'd expect Huddersfield to do something similar if they go straight back down. You will most likely stay up this seasom but would Hughton - older than Dyche or Wagner - be UP for the chance of an immediate return?

Events at Wembley may push Billic nearer the door.
