Morning Dalek, i am one of those yellow bellies, i'll hold my hands up.I did not want Glenn Hoddle to come back and i'll tell you why. As someone who played football at a decent level, i enjoyed the feeling of 11 geezers fighting their cause every week and although it was only something as trivial as kicking a bag of air around it gave me a sense of loyalty to do my best for all my team mates, who were doing the same.
Now don't get me wrong, Glenn Hoddle was a great player and i was fortunate to play on the same park as him, and i really did love watching his Saints side playing, but, there is always a but, there was something not quite right imho with his committment to the cause and i always felt Southampton Football Club was a stepping stone back into the limelight for him.so when he left for Spurs i felt hurt for my club that he had snubbed us.
Now you may well say, and you have on numerous occasions, look what happened when we didn't want him back for a second time.We all know what happened next and we chose inferior people who were not up for the job and it cost us big time.In hindsight i can say yes i made a mistake not wanting Glenn Hoddle back now, but i would always be looking over my shoulder with him in charge, waiting for him to dump on us again.
I prefer to stand shoulder to shoulder with someone who is fighting the same cause as me, than to worry when he was going to slide off when i wasn't looking ,or it got tough.
I know a lot of your posts are tongue in cheek and fwiw, they make me chuckle........so please forgive me Dalek.
