He's clearly not going to go anytime soon, you can wish it all you want but he's going to be here for a good while yet.
Dreadful again today and he does seem destined to be a massive failure, but who exactly do people expect to step in? No one with a decent track record, potential, or really anything about them is going to take a job of a team that's probably going to be relegated, and gives them very little control. There's a reason in pre-season we took so long and that's because no one reputable wanted the job then, yet alone with the side bottom of the table and probably adrift by the time they come in.
The clubs biggest mistake is choosing Hodgson's style as the wanted style of play. Under Hodgson we were well drilled, strong in defence, and at our best were deadly on the counter attack - we got what we paid for with him as manager. Trying to do that on the cheap we've got a shambolic defence, who are incapable of counter attacking due because the team is so slow and poor at moving the ball.
Clearly Mel going all out attack in a 180 turn from our usual perfromance was suicidal and really didn't suit the players we had. But bringing in 11 players in pre-season was the ideal time to start changing things. Not exactly Pepe Mel's you score 5 we'll score 4 style, but at least a team that had something about it. Instead we're slow, ponderous, awful in defence, and even worse in attack. Last season our problem was we could match the top teams but for whatever reasons bottled the easier sides. This season we look awful against even moderately good sides.
