Beefy, who guided us to 10th place 2011/12 and who won 10/10 in the Euro qualifiers. Don't remember anyone criticising Hodgson then and 10th place would only be a dream with Pulis.
Plus, Hodgson's career win ratio as a Head Coach/Manager is quite a lot higher than that of Pulis. 43.61% v 36.35%
Pulis Out, Hodgson In !

Of course if you want to go back to a previous manager you should have gone for RDM, his win percentage with you guys was the best since Ardiles was your manager!!! Comparing Hodgson's and Pulis' time at WBA sees their % a bit closer than their total career, but neither look that good with both under 40% win ratio, although Pulis' no loss % is better than Hodgson's was. Hodgson is now 68 years old though, and I wonder if that is too old for the PL these days most of the time.

If Pulis was to go or be let go, then Roy would be purely a stop gap until the new ownership has reviewed and approached a new manager. One month, three months. No more than the season.

Exactly
Well said ST Charles
Your right BM nobody moaned, who would at 10th place ?
But going back is not the answer
Again we will have a manager playing people out of position as he did with England, have no plan B like against those Giants Iceland
Have a striker taking corners this would only be a sideways step FFS
The two are so alike
We may as well stick with what we have see where we are in January and get someone in who has a Idea of managing a Football team ?
I'm no pullis fan and am not bothered if he went but we may as well wait until somebody better than Hodgson is available
We really need to think to the future now
After the takeover is complete (i'm hearing early October)i'm sure we can do much better than either of these two Dinosaurs ?

No No No. Hodgson's too old, like the team - lets freshen everything up for a change. Everything is the same old, same old, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
RE: Could Roy Hodgson return? - Salopbaggie - 08-09-2016
What about Sess people are starting to talk about him being offered a new contract
RE: Could Roy Hodgson return? - BaggieMan - 08-09-2016
'Syd' Cowans has just been released by the Vile.... Maybe he could dig out his boots.
RE: Could Roy Hodgson return? - Slick_Footwork - 09-09-2016
I wouldn't want him back.
His style is very similar to Pulis', so what is the appeal?
We barely ever won a game at home under Roy and that was with a better, younger squad than we have now. A squad that included players with pace and skill like Odemwingie, Jerome Thomas, Tchoyi and Shane Long...
I don't think he'd do much with the set of players we have at our disposal now. For me, the squad is as dour as it has been for a long time, with lots of our players in the twilight of their careers.

RDM didn't have a clue though... His win ratio was good because he inherited a really good Championship side and you had to be a clown not to walk the league with those players. He made some ridiculous decisions along the way, such as persisting with a misfiring Luke Moore but still got away with it because some of the other players were that good. That's the thing about win %'s... it doesn't always tell the story. When you watched us every week under RDM it was clear to see he didn't have a clue. Although, his dull negative style did get Chelsea a champions league win... it's a funny game.
