Sad, but relieved RdM went. He simply had lost the plot completely and failed to give us a solid defensive shape, we were just deteriorating so rapidly something had to be done. I liked Roberto but he simply wasn't ready yet.
As for Roy they don't come more ready than him, glad to have him. I think a straight talker like him is exactly what we need. Hodgson says things as they are without putting any spin on things and he will shape us properly. With the players we have we won't lack for goals but it will be good to finally see a team where players are not miles out of place, or just basically clueless, defensively.
Hodgson is very strong in the human dimension and I hope he will help a lot of our promising players grow. I think this is where RdM's inexperience was the most telling.
