As long as it's not his former 'partner in crime' Bobby Houghton, I was following Bristol City in the early eighties when Hodgson and Houghton took over from Malmo FF, following their success there and reaching the European Cup Final, however they were a disaster at Ashton Gate and took the Club from the old Second Division to the Fourth in successive seasons.

Whats going on Rhodes? Syd posted at 1:56 and here you are posting 14 minutes later! Now looking at the M.o.D thread you seem to have an issue with me replying to you 50 minutes after you?

I rest my case.

Ah Clifford but as always you leave out vital info.
Houghton & Hodgson were at Ashton Gate for less than a season so cannot be responsible for
both relegations. Also they had to contend with
losing players like Tom Ritchie, Joe Royle, Gerry
Gow & Gerry Sweeney. In fact The Robins were
in the crap that much they went bust the same season. Hardly the fault of H & H !

Lets face it, if it ain't 'Arry, then when anyone else the FA appoint and totally  f*cks up, big-time, (which they undoubtably will), the FA will have had plenty of time to word, twist, and publish all the relevant excuses for his failure !

We've seen it all before !
