He has a decent profile after what he did in Scotland and he hasn't been here long enough to be tainted yet. It's well known we're a shambles of an outfit, so he could walk and still attract a decent job at this level. Where there's much less of a rebuild and better tools available.
If I were him, I'd walk. Sharpish.

Patience is wearing thin to be honest. I know he's got fuck all to work with but picking Brunker every week is unforgivable.
His style of football is utter dogshit. He said after the game this isn't how he wants to play but we haven't got the correct players blah blah blah, but that sounds bollocks to me as Payne, Ball, Doyle and Scannell are the best "footballers" he will get at this level and would have flourished under McCall.
He's got them fitter for sure but that's about it.
On a side note, Bronco seems to think Edin is lining up Dougie Freedman to replace Hopkin which wouldn't fucking surprise me and another fucking disaster.
Edin out.

Hopkin is up against it without doubt, he’s inherited a very poor side however he doesn’t help himself sometimes. Starting Brüenker makes me question his sanity, starting Riley makes me question his sanity, hooking Doyle (although he was fucking shite today) when losing to Accrington fucking Stanley makes me question his sanity and this is all without forgetting the clusterfuck that was the Sunderland game. I’m sorry but alarm bells are ringing for me with HopkinS...I haven’t even mentioned (this time) the utterly appalling hoof ball that he insists on.

The starting Bruenker thing is an odd one. Either HopkinS is making a point to the bearded fucko in the boardroom or he actually rates him. Either way spells trouble.

Obviously Hopkin is not immune from criticism, but the fact that he has landed in this shit storm and been handed this group of players that he has practically no input on, bar Obrien etc, must give him some leeway. However, the level of performance is still concerning, there are some seemingly bizarre team selection, including Panzer. But maybe this is all just a symptom of how shit we really are in that even at this stage, he is still scrabbling around trying to concoct something like a workable team with this lot.

The fact is absolutely nothing on the pitch is improving as each game passes. Literally nothing.
The defence has no authority, our midfield has no influence on games and our attack carries barely any threat. The keeper keeping scores down seems to be the only constant.
Injuries or not the team looks constantly looks shuffled and tinkered, with a desperate emphasis on trying to find something, anything that looks like it may work and can be built on.
We're some 15 games into the season and I doubt anyone knows what our best (and I use that term very loosely) line up is.

Started questioning him last week when he brought Panzer on to lump the ball to against ten men. Today was a clusterfuck of a team selection. As others have said he’s done a Grayson and completely underestimated what a shit show we are. He even admitted as much himself when he talked about the injuries in midweek. The injuries aren’t our problem anyway - none of the crocked will actually improve us. I could see what he was doing until the last couple of weeks when he looks to have completely run out of ideas and he even admitted as much again after the match today when talking about individual errors. People seem to be clinging on to him sorting it in January but it will be one in one out and Edin won’t let him be in charge of it anyway. Plus as others have said I’m starting to think that there’s a decent chance that he’ll be gone one way or another before then anyway.

Let’s face it. We have all run out of ideas on how to put a team out that can actually compete. He maybe making some weird team selections, but my guess he is getting desperate to try and find a way to win a game.

Maybe giving panzer game time is his way of ensuring he can get shut in the window and bring in his recruits. That way Edin cany moan panzer didn’t get a chance.

Atleast the hoofball under PP was intentional. It wasn't pretty but he set us to play that way, it was very much part of our game plan and he knew what he was doing with it. The hoof we've seen since then has been a reflection of the lack of quality in the squad.

Just imagine if Hopkin jacks in.
Imagine.
Even though he's hardly shown much and the fans are probably apathetic about him, they would go mental.

The hoof we've seen since then has been a reflection of the lack of quality in the squad. Yep -People are quick to dismiss the long ball as a dinosaur tactic but it was everything else PP did to support it - he had us all well drilled, organisation was superb, everyone knew everyone else's roles, we were aggressive and were hard to beat. Event the cliches of players having the right character; you think it's just a soundbyte but the current crop just show how that can be a factor as well. From what I've seen so far it'll be a miracle if we can rescue just 1 point this season from a losing position. He actually had players to base that style on, we just don't. Aside from the one 6-0 we didn't get many hammerings in the league - even during the 1 win in 23 run we weren't conceding more than 2 a game if I remember, and PP knew how to get reactions when needed. Grayson was tearing into them after every game and got nothing, HopkinSSS is starting to see it as well now.

The problem with parkys long ball was the fact it was predictable. It was plan b for a long time plan A was to get down the flanks and hammer them crosses in and have some one on the edge of the area and behind Hanson. It didn't really become plan A till we sold Wells and replaced him with shite. After that the football apart from Walsall away and Chelsea was awful, but I'd have it back now in a breath. This is worse than the Docherty years and THE worst team I've seen in 35 years of watching them.
It's no surprise that all 17 of my family including 1 who's watched for 75 years 2 for 55 years then the rest between 35 and 15 years have said that's it till these bastards are gone. And I doubt we're the only ones

I reckon only BantamPete would be left on Team Edîn after that shitstorm. To be fair i'd love to see HopkinS resign just for the shits and giggles. Where the fuck would you go after that. We could set a record for the amount of managers in a calendar year.

Rumour picking up pace that Edin is lining up HopkinSs replacement already.. By picking up pace I mean that I’ve seen it on twitter now aswell as on Broncotalk.

That would be tragic and fucking hilarious at the same time. The meltdown that would ensure would be on levels we've not seen before.
