I do not think the agent will be deciding the destination of Hodgson. BH does not strike me as the type to take orders WRT his coaching destination and supposed dream job. Same applies to Gerry.
And I am still in the camp of believing there will be candidates slotted in ahead of Gerry in the pecking order. I don't think he has the proven recruiting chops, amongst a few other deficiencies at present, to lead the charge. And his hiring would be inconsistent with some of the key elements of JW's specific and pointed firing / search announcement.
