No Vote Of Confidence For Hoddle

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey has said that manager Glenn Hoddle will have his position reviewed at a board meeting in May following the club’s failure to reach the Championship play-offs this season.

With Wolves fans calling for the manager’s head, Moxey has indicated that change could be on it’s way despite a potential 7th position league finish still being a possibility.

Moxey wrote in his programme notes: “Our season is done and, although we will hopefully finish in seventh place just outside the top six, such is the disappointment that we may as well have finished 21st.

“Some people will be surprised that I am writing in such a fashion and no doubt I will be criticised for doing so.

“However, I am speaking from the heart and for everyone at Wolves when I say that we are devastated at finishing outside the play-offs.

“Understandably, supporters will and are calling for a change in manager, directors, players and others. That is to be expected. Fans are as upset as we are and they have every right to feel that way.

“However, there will be no rash decisions. It is easy to sack someone but not so easy to find suitable replacements, especially for the unique task of bringing success to Wolves.

“Glenn Hoddle and I have had preliminary discussions and there is a board meeting planned in May to discuss the 2005-2006 campaign and the way we move the club forward.”

Glenn Hoddle has viewed the season differently and considers it far from a disaster, pointing to the slew of big clubs who have been relegated from the Championship over the past few seasons as being examples of real disasters.

Only time will now tell for the former England and Tottenham Hotspur coach as he continues to struggle to repair the damage to his reputation those previous jobs and his outspoken personal views have done.
