Shang Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think the appeal of Hoddle is his commitment to bringing youth through. Plays fluid attacking football and doesn't like teams to be too structured / rigid. If he can get us playing fluid football like Steve and defensive enough like Clement while bringing through youth we'll have the guy for the Derby Way?

Ramarena Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Are we talking about the Glenn Hoddle that last managed a club a DECADE ago, with his last achievement being a League cup final defeat 14 years ago? And let's not get into his views on people with disabilities! That Glenn Hoddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he's in the same 'spiritual' mindset he was then. Still probably wouldn't want him, more for the years out of work than anything else, I just don't like taking a statement made almost 2 decades ago (when he was doing other completely loony things to do with spirituality) to measure the man now.

Phoenix Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 It's true people change. Look at Jonathan Edwards. Gave up the very good chance of a World Championship gold medal through religious beliefs because the final was on a Sunday. He also presented 'Songs of Praise' and was quoted as saying "My relationship with Jesus and God is fundamental to everything I do. I have made a commitment and dedication in that relationship to serve God in every area of my life." Look at him now. He renounced his religion in 2007. He subsequently said "even if I am unable to discover some fundamental purpose to life, this will not give me a reason to return to Christianity" Not sure where that leaves us with Hoddle. Has he joined us yet? Internet went down last night (must have done something bad in etc) and can't be arsed to trawl through the mountains of recent dross.

And didn't Glen originate the "early doors" line as in "they're going to be trying to keep it tight early doors".so his press conferences may have some comedy moments ☺ Early doors was a Brian Cloughism.

We have gone from what appeared to be a well managed club with stability and short term and long term objectives ,controlled finances stability and security ,making sound sensible and reasonable decisions with regard to recruitment in both management/coaching,and players. To presently sacking Pc (who i personally didnt like the way we played under him) for getting us in top 5,bringing DW who has even less experience and appears clueless to bringing Harry ( the closest thing to a second car sales man in football management ,who i wouldnt trust to run a bath)and now speculation that Glenn Hoddle ,a total has been with no credability other than a player 20 plus years ago is going to stick his oar in (probably with mystic Meg). So yes its a bloody mess and if it was happening at any other club i would be pi##ing my sides. Oh and dispite My concerns over Pc and some of his tactics, nothing in comparison to the Sh+te we seen since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
