Agree with a fair amount of what Khalil states, but his description of people on this forum as generally half full types raised a chuckle

There a lot of posts on here are along lines of... 'we going to get slaughtered by 5th SA side and it's all Hudson's fault'. Those are not posts of cheerful, optimistic folks.

I expect once Hudson's gone the new coach will just get the same abuse, because in all likelihood the results won't be any better. Esp if he also has a funny voice/pointy shoes/keeps company with Tony Veitch or some other sin. Actually the last one is a sin

I don't think that anyone has said that ever.  It's been said a lot that it's not about the results - we will likely almost always beat the island nations, and depending on the draw, lose in the playoffs.  If results are all we judge the manager on then we would judge Sir Alex Fergusson and Mike Basset as equally competent managers were they in charge of New Zealand.  What most judge him on are the performances put out by the team, and how the tactics matches the talk he puts out of how we theoretically should be playing (and also on his mastery of self promotion).
