Between March and April last year Hoff had a record of W1 D3 L6

Including conceding 5 at home to Pompey. He did not have the man management skills to succeed, I honestly think he became a bit of a laughing stock among the players, Knapper will have got the word on this. It was clearly the correct decision. Just because Manning followed doesn't suddenly make it the wrong decision.
