Title: I would like Hoddle
Post by: Nick Bateman on September 18, 2014, 05:43:57 PM
Of the names mentioned Glenn Hoddle would be my choice, although I would rather see a return of René Meulensteen without Curbs & Wilko, but that is unlikely to happen.

Hoddle plays football the 'Fulham' way passing it from the back and through the midfield, not long-balling it, but almost any manager would be an improvement from the absence of organization from our departing German.

I also will not rest though, until Alistair Macintosh is removed as CEO, as he was responsible for the whole mess, including spending over £22million on 2 strikers while penny-pinching to lose all our seasoned Premiership quality players and the sacking of RM without giving him a chance just as he was about to save us from the drop!

I said Hoddle as well, when Jol was the dead man walking; but let's give Kit and Mr Khan time now to get our club back.

Ali Mac has to be on his way out, the statement wouldn't mention that Khan will personally lead the recruitment search, if its Ali Macs responsibility to do so.

I don't think Hoddle is the right man-we want a safe pair of hands, someone with a track record of success with a club like Fulham, who takes care of the basics first.

Hoddle had success with Swindon, but what else?

Maybe Kit will step to the plate, though.

Does he still own an academy in Spain? Could be ideal to work with the U21s in the 1st team squad to get them all performing at level needed to develop.

god help us if thats true, im no ali mac fan but the thought of khan picking a manager scares me, and instantly reminded me of ted lasso  An American Coach in London: NBC Sports Premier League Film featuring Jason Sudeikis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KeG_i8CWE8#ws)
i for one would give kit a real shot at it

Not tearing up roots at QPR yet is he? There being played off the park and I'm sure the tactics and team are more Hoddle than harry, same as when McClaren was there last season

As I said before, I would love Hoddle to work with our youngsters, perhaps with Danny Murphy or Kit Symons alongside him.

I always thought Hoddle would be a good fit. What he did in Spain with Jerez and Betis has been impressive as has his academy work.  He did well at Swindon and at an early Chelsea. He was good but unlucky with England (and he has the spirits on his side...lol)

Hoddle is that 'big name' that many clubs have tried to hire.  He is London-based and as said, likes the right style of football we have traditionally played.

As for Khan beings hands on, he cannot do a worse job than that idiot "Vote No Scot" Ali Mac and I only hope he goes soon too.

No, I think his time and tactics are passed. I'd like to see someone in the Martinez, Rogers mould.
