Salopian 1 Posted March 16, 2017 If, in the new structure the Director of Football is overall chief, I can''t see a problem in appointing a younger manager who seems to have potential.Whether Hudson has this, I have no idea, I just want the club to begin to sort out of the mess - only one first team left back, too many "pensioner" players picking up a nice income with little prospect of playing, a reliable goalkeeper and two or three adequate central defenders. A new manager might be able to do all this in time, but we do not have time, with the parachute money running out soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 16, 2017 "smiis, Auckland, New Zealand, 7 months agoComing from a New Zealander, he hasn''t been too impressive yet. Shows potential, but always picks joke players ahead of others (many second-rate teenagers) and instead of winning on penalties vs Papua New Guinea in the OFC cup, we should have put at least 4 or 5 past them."

Crafty Canary 495 Posted March 16, 2017 I really hope this is a made up story. According to the report he is on a short list with Hodgson, Pardew, Pearson and Irvine. What an appalling selection! mind you it''s fully in line with our BOD''s usual efforts. It will probably be Irvine who will trot out the politician''s line about not wanting the job but was persuaded it was his duty to accept it.The more this drags on the more I despair for our club.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted March 16, 2017 Hudson has a massive reputation amongst coaches globally. See as a star of the future he has done all the Licences etc in record time.Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers have both spoken about how good a coach he is and will go onto the top in time.I doubt him and Hodgson are on a list together as I am 99% sure if Norwich are looking at Hudson, it is on Roy''s recommendation (his previous two recommendations to Norwich have been McNally and Tettey, so not a bad track record).Hudson would be a fine choice if working with someone experienced in recruitment as this is only area he would be lacking in knowledge.Wagner at Huddesfield had never managed a first team before going there, and that hasn''t worked out too bad for them in the long run.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted March 16, 2017 Moss''s connection to Rodgers also makes you wonder if he is already having input in recommending Hudson. This is of course all speculation - Hudson was also linked to the Derby job and it turned out there was no truth in that. He might just have an over active agent.Most of the other names in the Sun''s list are nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do think we''d need an experienced, respected ''Sporting Director'' alongside him. Would be a big gamble though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,137 Posted March 16, 2017 Hmmm... I''m a little more interested having heard what BYG has to say. FWIW, his Wikipedia page makes a good case too. Would still be a massive gamble though. From Wikipedia: Playing career As a player, Hudson started in the youth system at Premier League club West Ham United, and later had a spell at Luton Town. In 2001, he moved to Dutch First Division team NEC Nijmegen.[5] He then moved to American lower division club Wilmington Hammerheads in 2006, ultimately appearing in 10 league games. Coaching career United States In 2005, Hudson became player-assistant head coach of USL Second Division team Wilmington Hammerheads, having spent the previous two years working as an academy coach at AC Diablos SC. In October 2008 he was selected as Real Maryland Monarchs head coach at the age of 27.[5] One of the youngest to have obtained the UEFA Pro Licence, and having studied with the English Football Association, Hudson also became the youngest manager (head coach) in the U.S. In his very first season as manager he led the club, which had the worst record and finished bottom of the table in 2008, to the quarter-finals of the 2009 Playoffs.[6] Hudson was also nominated for the 2009 Coach of the Year Award.[7] United Kingdom After leaving Real Maryland following the 2010 season, Hudson returned to the United Kingdom and began coaching under the guidance of Harry Redknapp at Tottenham Hotspur.[8][9][10] On 1 April 2011, Hudson, aged 30, was appointed manager of Conference Premier club Newport County.[8] He arrived with a "glittering reference"[11] from Redknapp, who likened him to "a young José Mourinho".[12][13] A decent run-in to the 2010–11 season saw Newport County finish ninth in the league.[14] In July 2011, Hudson was working towards the UEFA Pro Licence with the English Football Association.[15] Bahrain Hudson (centre) winning U23 Gulf Cup of Nations as Bahrain manager In December 2011, Hudson was appointed manager of the Bahrain under-23 team.[16] He was brought in to coach the national under-23 and Olympic team by Peter Taylor, national team coach of Bahrain senior team. Hudson became the youngest coach to earn the UEFA Pro Licence, the highest coaching award in the game, in 2012 after help along the way from Fabio Capello, Brendan Rodgers, Malky Mackay and Harry Redknapp.[17] He led Bahrain to the final of the 2012 GCC tournament, eventually losing to Saudi Arabia, hence finishing as runner-up. This was Bahrain''s highest ever finish at this age group, having never reached above 5th place in the gulf.[18] Hudson then worked under Argentinian coach Gabriel Calderon after Peter Taylor''s exit. In June 2013 Hudson signed a two-year extension by the Bahrain Football Federation.[19] In between tournaments in Bahrain, Hudson spent time studying with Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho, and later with Marcelo Bielsa at Athletic Club de Bilbao.[20] On 13 August 2013 Hudson was appointed manager of Bahrain.[21] In October 2013 Hudson was listed as a potential candidate as coach of Denmark.[22] Before taking on his new job as head of the senior team, Hudson made history by leading the Bahrain U23 team to their first title at the U23 Gulf Cup of Nations, beating Saudi Arabia in the final.[23] This was the first official gold medal the Bahrain national team have won in their history. In November 2013 Hudson led the national team to qualification for the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia. In January 2014 he led Bahrain to their highest finish at the West Asian tournament, beating Kuwait for the bronze medal.[24] Hudson was offered a new two-year contract as coach of national team in February 2014.[25] New Zealand All Whites In August 2014, Hudson was appointed manager of the New Zealand national football team.[26][27] After resigning from his position with Bahrain, Hudson has relocated to New Zealand for the full-time role which also includes responsibilities in overseeing the programme of the country''s age-group representative sides.[28] Both New Zealand national under-20 football team and New Zealand national under-17 football team made history by making into knockout stages of their respective World Cups in the same cycle for the first time.[29][30][31][32] Although Hudson''s first game in charge of the national team was a 3–1 defeat away to Uzbekistan in September 2014,[33] the All Whites have been unbeaten since March 2015, conceding only 2 goals in this period,[34] which includes defeating Oman, who were ranked 67 places higher at 92nd place in the FIFA World Rankings, in a 1-0 victory.[35] Hudson also took the coaching reins of the New Zealand U-23 who won all three of their pool games and their semi final without conceding a goal in their Oceania Olympic Qualifiers at the Pacific Games in July 2015, but were disqualified (and had their semi final win overturned) for fielding an ineligible player due to an administrative error from the national body.[36][37] This incident led to Hudson losing players for selection for his preparation for his matches against Myanmar and Oman[38] as the national body continued their detailed review of the internal processes and eligibility information for all players.[39] In 2016, Hudson''s squad assembled for the first time for the year in May for a two-week training camp in Australia ahead of the 2016 OFC Nations Cup hosted in Papua New Guinea. The national body, despite their best efforts, failed to find a fixture against suitable opposition for the All Whites in the March FIFA window.[40] Despite having to change the team due to losing players to the eligibility saga, as well as a lack of matches organised from the national body, the All Whites won the 2016 OFC Nations Cup, winning all five matches and conceding only one goal, from a penalty, in the process.[41] New Zealand''s victory saw them crowned Oceania champions making New Zealand the most successful national team in the competition''s history, having won the tournament five times, and also saw them qualify for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.[42] New Zealand emerged as 2016''s biggest climbers in world football, moving up 54 places on the back of the OFC Nations Cup victory that both qualified them for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and furthered their FIFA World Cup qualifying ambitions.[43] In October 2016, after two away games against Mexico and USA, which were recognised in both New Zealand and USA, former All Whites'' captain Ryan Nelsen said the team had gone up a level under Hudson and he had "never seen New Zealand teams play this way".[44] Hudson was also linked to the managers position at Derby County.[45] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
