I think that NESV are going to put this season down to a learning experience, the first priority is to get the top level management in place. They'll give Hodgson the chance to get the team out of the mire it's in - he'll only be sacked if our Premier League status is at risk. At the same time they won't give him the money to waste in the January transfer window - if players are signed they won't be his choices. In the summer they'll turf him out and appoint their own manager.
