Who is to say we won't have a 'new' manager pretty time soon Local? They were never going to sack Hodgson as soon as they came in and the position we now find ourselves in the league given the time Hodgson has had, is, in my opinion, the first time NESV will analyse as true and fair reflection of his tenure. I do believe they thought to keep him for the season and then replace him with their long term candidate but I now reckon he'll be gone pronto.

Well I hope you are right Sheik, because it would be bad to keep a manager like this through the transfer window. I'd hate a win for him this weekend, to be interpreted as a need to give the man more time. I honestly think what Rafa achieved at this club is looking better and better. Yes, he also shot himself in the foot, but CL qualification year after year looks good to me right now.
