Look forward to checking out their results on a Saturday now.

Di Canio, Di Matteo, Poyet and Rosler. Big names all willing to go down the leagues to get on the managerial ladder. Dont see the big English names willing to take that drop. Heard Alan Shearer talking himself up as the next England manager on the radio the other week.

You gotta laugh.

My hat is off to Di Matteo and Poyet as well for taking the traditional route and showing to be succesfull. Di Matteo sacking was ridiculous move imo. Poyet has apparently been superb for Brighton.

Shearer was never going to make that good of a manager. Great, hard working player, one of my favourites of that era but he lacks that deep rooted interest for football tactics and philosophy and he has never come through as too clever chap. Two features that set apart good managers.
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?

Disagree. Suprising yes, ridiculous no.

Although I thought it was a bad decision at the time in hindsight Hodgson's appointment was the best thing that happened to west brom all season. They were awesome under Hodgson while I thing they would have seriously struggled to stay up under Di Matteo.

There's no lonbg term future with Hodgson though. Di Matteo is young, up and coming and hungry manager who would've been long term investment even if they had short term blip in form mid-season. Hodgson is old and pragmatic. I'm sure he'll do business for them for short period of time but there's no future with him. And his teams play crap football. If you are going to struggle, why not struggle playing decent football.

Wish him the best of luck, and it's a good start for him in his first job in english football.
