Alan Hudson might have been a Chelsea legend, but he didn't get that many caps for England did he ?

OK 2 more than I did, but I always felt he failed to reach his full potential.

yeah its seems you've got a point scrumpy....

'''Alan Hudson was one of the most naturally gifted midfielders of his generation, a skilful and natural playmaker with tremendous vision and comfortable using either foot, yet his career was marred by controversies and injury problems. World Cup-winning England captain Bobby Moore once said of him: “Alan Hudson could have conquered the world, but there was no guarantee he was going to conquer his temperament.” Hudson made his Chelsea debut as a 17 year old and in the 1969-70 season he established himself as the team's playmaker, creating goals for Peter Osgood and Ian Hutchinson'''

First of all: Why are we bashing our new head coach and even more so his family? For the club to land such a qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable coach should be exciting to everyone. What other coach in the USL has the credentials Hudson has? Lets have an open mind and show some support as a true fan should . We can not afford another disgraceful season like 2008 and the club has made the necessary steps in my opinion to turn things around and make it a great club.

Experienced ? Where has he been the head coach before ?

I wish the lad & the team well, but to be honest how many players sons go on to do anything in the game ?

The only three I can think of who have any management experience right now are Nigel Clough, Kevin Bond & Darren Ferguson.

I am a Palace supporter but I have a lot of respect for the Monarch ownership, the management and the fans that travelled to UMBC to support their club...

But there is no way that I would call ther first season "disgraceful". Like I told some of their management when we chatted at the DC United-Charleston Battery USOC Championship game (RM were supporting the USL brethren over our local MLS side--they had a banner and everything)--the Puerto Rico Islanders first season was painful.
Crystal Palace needed some time to get started last year. Bermuda had a rough start but showed some improvement last season. Carolina Railhawks struggled.

It's not easy being an expansion club. There is a lot to learn. Some tough blows to the head were taken by all of the clubs...

RM wasn't disgraceful. They had a hard inaugural season. No disgrace in that. Look at what went down with Alas, Cerrito and the very overated (yeah, that is my opinion) Quintanilla not making it because the Ticos of Alajuelense bought his sporadic brilliance and the hype.

RM should have gotten a draw in the final match of the season. The officials bothced a call and my Palace boys got that result with a lot of luck and some help from terrible officiating.

That's my two cents...

Scrumpy, what is your problem? Either you have a personal issue with this kid or you are jealous? Read his bio please. He has experience and so what if not as head coach? USL2 is the perfect place to start. If you don't support him then so be it, but at least have some class and leave his dad out of this.

Yankiboy, 2-5 / 0-6 / 0-8 ! Disgraceful was the only appropriate term I could find.

I suggest you get your mummy or daddy to read you my post as English comprehension is obviously not your strength.
