Glenn Hoddle
Reading through the Moyes threads got me thinking about English/Biritish Coaches.
They are generally given a much easier ride by the press and at times fans which is understandable The English game is in a real mess and the coaches we have are still working to 1980's tactics of knock it to the big lad or into space. How the £#%&! is Glenn Hoddle not involved at a club somewhere? Yes he might have some strange views and he is certainly not managerial material but his philosophy and understanding of football is light years ahead of anyone else in this country imo. |

We have a coach in our club who £#%&!ed his brothers wife, I'm sure some have an issue with that |

Imagine someone like Phil Neville for instance, having to be told what to do by a @#%&! who says that, when he's got to deal with his own family outside football. |

Glen Hoddle = the thick man's thinking man.
Tim Sherwood = the thick man's thick man. Hoddle is a confusing, riddle speaking imbecile. "That's what we call in the game a reverse ball. He's got, what we call in the game, a good engine. That was, what we call in the game, a chip. That was an excellent, what we call in the game, goal." Hate him. |

GN: "He also believed in alternative methods, including Eileen Drewery, the faith healer, who'd visited the camp a few times before the World Cup. As a bit of a sceptic, I'd never gone to see her. When the 1998 World Cup started, some of the players started taking injections from Glenn's favourite medic, a Frenchman called Dr Rougier. It was different from anything we'd done at United, but all above board, I'm sure.
"After some of the lads said they'd felt a real burst of energy, I decided to seize any help on offer. So many of the players decided to go for it before that Argentina match that there was a queue to see the doctor. Before the game, Glenn did his usual pre-match routine of moving around the players, shaking their hands and touching them just over the heart. We'll never know if the methods had any positive effect. "One of the masseurs told me Glenn had asked the staff to walk around the pitch anti-clockwise during the game against Argentina to create positive energy. Sadly, it didn't do us much good." |

I get the feeling Hoddle is knowledgeable about the game but as a man manager he is somewhat lacking. His England reign was a good example of this. The way he handled Beckham in 1998 was awful. Like Neville said in his book, the right manager at the wrong time. He would have done better with a little bit more experience within the game.

although 3-5-2 and the side he put out against Italy at Le Tournoi suggest he could have done something with England |

Glenn Hoddle not only offended the disabled but was a big believer in some freak called Eileen who was a spiritualist?
She apparently rubbed Ray Parlours temples and asked him what he needed and he replied "short back and sides please" which pissed Glenn off greatly. Could explain a lot |
