Hodgson joins Melbourne City

Postby Dameerto » Thu Apr 06, 2017 3:16 pm

Just saw this on the Beeb's site, he's joined on a consultancy basis.
I have to say I don't trust Hodgson one bit after his dodgy selection of the Nivea boys in his final tournament, there might have been some argument for Lallana but absolutely none for picking Henderson who had been out injured for most of the season and was in shite form after his return.

Former England manager Roy Hodgson is to work with Manchester City's sister club for the rest of the Australian season on a consultancy basis.

Hodgson, 69, will mentor coaches across all age groups at Melbourne City in the country's A-League.

It is his first job since standing down as England manager in the wake of the Euro 2016 last-16 defeat by Iceland.

The arrangement has come about through Hodgson's friendship with City Football Group executive officer Brian Marwood.

Melbourne City are currently being managed on a caretaker basis by Michael Valkanis, following John van't Schip's departure in January.

However, Hodgson is not in consideration to become the permanent boss for next season.

Former Switzerland, Internazionale, Liverpool, Fulham and West Brom boss Hodgson had recently been linked with vacancies at Leicester and Middlesbrough.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Manchester City's owners had bought Uruguayan second division side Atletico Torque.

The City Football Group already owns MLS outfit New York City, A-League Melbourne, and Japanese J-League side Yokohama F Marinos.

Whatever he did, it worked. A 1-0 win tonight and the first clean sheet in ages.

Hodgson is a decent coach with huge experience. Granted he didnt do a great job with the national team or liverpool but hes no mug, this is certainly a coup for Melbourne.

Not that anyone cares....
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, Hodgson, or hot dog as he is known in these parta, is the last guy on planet I would trust with developing players. Puts very little value on individual talent and rather concentrates on his brand of effiency football which ironically isn't that efficient at all.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?
