Wow. I thought it was unfair to judge Roy on the basis of the first couple of months, with the ownership situation creating so much uncertainty, the loss of Mascherano, new players, injuries, etc. All this time I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. After THIS, however, even I have to admit that the Roy Hodgson experiment is over. There is no turning this around.
If I'm the owner, there is no way I include Roy in the conversations about the January signings at this point. You cannot make long term plans with someone who is just hanging on for dear life. I think Roy's presence would create more uncertainty for the January transfer window, both for players we are trying to sign and for members of our squad. He should be let go and a caretaker manager CORRECTION: Sammy Lee should be appointed. As for the permanent managerial appointment, I would welcome Didier Deschamps.
