If that happens Sainter, stay away from bridges and tall buildings.
Don't even joke about it. If Hoddle is welcomed back to the club, anything is possible. And what a brilliant birthday present this will be.
As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't care if Glenn Hoddle was the best manager in England. The manner in which we left the club was disgraceful and he has no place even setting foot back in the stadium.
Having been keeping up with a lot of our fan sites, the level of hatred towards him is unbelievable. If we appoint Hoddle, supporters will start to boycott matches, refuse to renew season tickets and generally cut all ties with the club. Our attendances would drop to Portsmouth levels.

Keeping the club at a similar level on the table would not be enough to win the supporters back, they will be baying for blood after every loss. It's just not healthy.
What about players like Beattie who have been uncomplimentary about him in the past?
Alain Perrin seemed to be the favourite amongst our supporters and in light of recent developments I would do anything to have him as manager. And I don't know a thing about him.
I've got to say it's great to have the talksport coverage on SEN overnight. Much better than relying on reading news articles to find out about all the latest breaking news. Especially when it concerns us.
