I'd take him. He's like a proven Garry Monk!

Who gives a f*ck what he said 16 years ago.

Strange but I would be happy to have him at the start of the season, but with 14 games to go I am not so sure.

16 years ago is the bit that is worrying

Few years ago would have said not on your nelly ,but he's either got off the drugs or got some form of treatment but seems far more rational and grounded and many many pundits are now raving about him but as I said on another stream are we better going back to basics or do the board get star struck again ?

No but he waves his arms about a lot.

Fending off evil spirits, probably. F*cking nutter.

Do the board go British again like they did with Brendan after what happened to Sousa.

He was extremely knowledgeable about our club pre Tottenham on BT Sport I watched the whole intro.

The manager should release a statement at this point in time these rumours must be unsettling for the squad.

Stop gap until the end of the season maybe
Be fvcking difficult for anyone with just 14 games
Someone who speaks Spanish might help

Have many good friends over the yrs who are Spurs fans and a couple of Chelsea fans. I lived in London when Hoddle managed both of these plus of course England. The summation would be:
* Excellent tactician (several England players said he was unparalleled as England manager, better than the much heralded Venables).
* Good judge of player
* Good at identifying specific problems and bringing in players to match his tactics/style of play. Did quite well at Chelsea. Not so well at Spurs. Great football say Wolves fans..not always great results.
* Did supremely well at Swindon
* Best win % as england manager ever (at that time)
* Superb contacts across the football world
* Has run a successful "second chance" academy and got some "abandoned" pro's back into the game
* Extremely good coach
* Very dislikeable individual (according to players). Extremely arrogant. Used to get wound up that players couldn't do what he could do in training and couldn't always implement his tactics.
* Had man-management issues at times, largely because of the above....but was apparently good with the younger players. Used Gorman and Taylor to smooth player-manager relations....both people who were hrealded as being excellent communicators.

No, he can't have, the passing game was invented by Martinez in 2007, and Hoddle hasn't managed since 2006.

What "manager"?
We haven't got one any more!

Hoddle on 22:26 - Feb 4 with 4408 viewsLiam12345

when we played Tottenham and he was a pundit they were slagging us off and he was defending us and picking out our weaknesses such as we are not attacking enough, to slow and basically hitting the ail on the head all the time.

Poll: Will we stay up? (if you think not why?)

Hoddle on 22:28 - Feb 4 with 4372 viewsDull1Thomas

TBF He used to be pilloried by the 'experts' for getting his teams passing the ball.
One of the players I used to think was just too good to be English.
As a manager .. been out of the game a while! But after today nothing would surprise me.

Poll: Should Huw Jenkins step down?

Why on earth is there an almighty effort from the media/sky to get Hoddle back into management? very strange.

Poll: Who did you vote for today, in the general election?
