Hodgson is an example as to how some people are so out of touch with reality. In an interview he once said the following :-
Hodgson later complained that his failure at Blackburn tarnished his reputation in England, whilst his record on the continent should have made him comparable to Alex Ferguson: "Of course, my track record, if people bothered to study it, would put me in the same category as Ferguson enjoys today, but people don't talk about what I've done outside England", he says. "Here, they just talk about Blackburn Rovers, but that's just a very small part of a 26-year career. To most English journalists it's the only part. I've got an excellent track record in Sweden, Switzerland, Italy and in Denmark, where FC Copenhagen was my last job before I went to Udinese. We won the league there by seven points. Admittedly, the fact that I walked out and went to Italy to some extent tarnished that reputation..."
He's happy with the current job as he is in line for a nice chunky payoff again once he gets the bullet.
Personally I do put him in the same category as Ferguson. I hate that senile old shit as well.
