Seventh straight loss for Hudson, equalling the Rapids' worst losing streak in history.

And some on here think he is wonderful :)

And many think he is a self-wiki editing, expert power point, one-man-PR-machine, fast talking, tight pant wearing fraud.

And many are now like crazy ex-girlfriends, following his every move so as not to miss the opportunity to dance on his grave. 

I totally get your point but I am not sure its like that


I think its more like this

The fans called him out on so much stuff (rightly or wrongly) and he literally stuck a middle finger in the air and said 'well what do you all know'. I guess in theory, 99% of people would feel that way, he just got right out in front and blasted everyone for not backing him rather than thinking it internally. Immature move in dealing with the invested parties in the AWs. The reason people are laughing now because its the chance to say 'You told us to fudge off out loud but all you have done is proven us right'. If he had shown a little more humility, he would have people genuinely supporting him.

Some things rightly annoyed people, but a lot of those people then got very emotive about that, to the point where any single little thing was a stick to poke him with. A lot of what he said at the beginning he stuck to, contrary to the narrative. He wasn't honest about the style of football he went with at the OFC nations cup and that grated me, but in terms of playing for the shirt and really caring about the AWs, he set out the stall and went at it with an iron fist from whoa to go, and I bloody enjoyed that. F*ck those players who didn't care enough to get fit, or make themselves available, as far as I'm concerned. I loved that he sent them home, or publicly told us they didn't care enough to be up for selection in his eyes. 

I wasn't a fan of a lot of stuff he said, the weird wikipedia sh*t, and the arrogant attitude, but he believed he could get to the world cup, and he made the players believe they could get to the world cup, and that was good enough for me to at least support him and see where it went. I saw enough in certain games that I thought they could put it together if the stars aligned, the players all bought into it and liked him, it didn't seem impossible at all, and in reality we weren't that far off had a couple of key moments gone our way. And although clearly not great, his overall results for us were a pass mark for our level in reality, especially when the administrative body that employed him was (is) so poor. 

I guess I just think it's not really worth all the teeth-gnashing, and some of the twitter carry-on I've seen just looks pathetic and petty, which is where the ex-girlfriend comment came from.
