    I will continue to be boring and repetitive on this.
    I don't believe in the myth of the manager at all, so I am always sceptical when saviours are suggested.
    The classic current example of how managers are only as good as their present or last job has to be Roy Hodgson.
    From his long career and numerous jobs, do we conclude he is one of the "good" managers or one of the "bad" ones?
    In a sane world, there is no straight answer, although he is clearly a "good" one again at the moment!
    Given that he is just one example against many, I can't believe that the media and so many fans continue to buy into this idea that "It's all down to the manager."!!

    I meant "amongst" - not "against".
