The Club will look after him.
He will have a role at the Club beyond playing, I hope it is coaching and what better a Human being to make sure the message lands about how important it is to be able to represent this great football club.

You'd hope he'll be offered a new role when he decides to retire. I'd be surprised and concerned with the new regime if he wasn't offered a coaching role or at the very least offered a Boothy or Heff sort of role at the club! |

Surely he has already been honoured by being paid a (sometimes very) decent wage throughout this period. Without wishing to piss on anyone’s emotional chips, is it fair to say that he has taken more money out of the club than anyone over it’s entire existence? His longevity as a player is suffice for me. Entitled to your point of view. But in my view, he’s been our warrior through the most successful period in our recent history. It’s not about the money, it’s about the fans being able to show him our respect and appreciation. I don't think it's a huge stretch to say he's our best signing in modern times. £400k for over 10 years service, through thick and thin and hopefully beyond of he so wishes in some form of coaching capacity. |

The spine of our team through its most successful period in modern times, commitment has been exemplary even when we turned into a bit of a basket case. Would suggest he’s one of the main reasons we didn’t go under over the years when things have looked bleak.
Will be emotional when he walks off our pitch for the last time, will be the end of an era. Deserves to go out on a real high and he and his family can be incredibly proud of what he’s given this club and this town. He as much as anyone made us relevant again.
Talk of him taking more money than anyone else out of the club is pathetic.

One of only 7 current players in the entire English Football League to have played 10 or more years at their current club... Dean Lewington's time at MK Dons is incredible really. He's been at the Club during it's entire existance. Yip - He has Don a good few years with MK and that fella Sam has been a Long time at Oxford United as well ! 😬 |

The biggest compliment I can give Hoggy is that you notice him when he's absent - we as fans are very quick to criticise players like hoggy but in ten years there hasn't really been anyone who can deputise for him for any prolonged period.
I also think he's shown a real ability to adapt to new coaches, although some won't have noticed or agree. He plays how he's told to. If we could bottle his character/attitude and inject it into the rest of the squad we'd be all the better for it.

Definitely a good servant, and yes he’s been well paid, but that little graphic shows just how few there are to reach such a milestone. I know it’s likely to be a much larger figure, but it would be interesting to see the figure for 5 or 7 year club careers.
As for what comes after for Hogg, I doubt many would begrudge the bloke if he took a L1 contract for a couple of years instead of an option to join the coaching setup here.

Give him the Roy Kent role, I can just imagine Hoggy shouting "WHISTLE!" instead of using one.

He wants one of those club ambassador roles like John Barnes has for Liverpool. £200k a year he earns, crazy. |

I think Hoggy will be one of those players who drops down the divisions to play for as long as he can.
Could see him in a player/coach role at Hartlepool when hes 38.

Without wishing to piss on anyone’s emotional chips, is it fair to say that he has taken more money out of the club than anyone over it’s entire existence? His longevity as a player is suffice for me. Seems a bit harsh. And to say he’s just taken money out of the club… if you’d have asked Dean Hoyle in June 2017 on Hoggy’s ROI, I think he’d have said otherwise, being a huge part in injecting the club with £200m+. And Town fans from a non financial point of view. |

And Town fans from a non financial point of view. A huge part, and more than most will ever give him credit for. We were a bottom end of the league Championship club, hired a weird German who'd never managed at anything like this level before, and he comes in with his pre-season trip to the wilderness in Sweden, double training sessions, weird training times... It's very common in football for these types of experiments by rookie managers to be rubbished by senior pros. 'What the fuck does he know' etc... As it was, Wagner got full buy in from the squad. And if that buy in hadn't have come from Hogg, Hudson and Whitehead in particular then that wouldn't have filtered through to the rest of the squad and those magical two years would never have happened. |

I bloody love Hoggy. Whenever I think it’s time we drop him and try and bed in some new blood, he proves me wrong with an excellent performance à la West Brom. I’m more than happy to keep being proven wrong!

Perils of the modern age, can't just assume anything nowadays, didn't want to offend you if you had a husband rather than a wife, ended up intimating Hoggy may be bi instead |

The lad is class
Very much under appreciated by many.
If ward got a new contract this lad deserves one future coach/manager.

The spine of our team through its most successful period in modern times, commitment has been exemplary even when we turned into a bit of a basket case. Would suggest he’s one of the main reasons we didn’t go under over the years when things have looked bleak. Will be emotional when he walks off our pitch for the last time, will be the end of an era. Deserves to go out on a real high and he and his family can be incredibly proud of what he’s given this club and this town. He as much as anyone made us relevant again. Talk of him taking more money than anyone else out of the club is pathetic. I think you are taking my comment out of context. It is not a criticism, but an irrefutable observation. He’s done a decent job in a generally decent manner over a long period, for which he has been decently rewarded. I can give no higher praise. I still don’t think he needs a testimonial. How many turned up for Boothy’s? Not that many, against some Spanish side, as I remember. I wouldn’t say it was pathetic, but it is somewhat oligeanous to praise him in the way that he has been, but as I said in my original post, I don’t want to piss on anyone’s emotional chips. |

I don't think he needs a testimonial. But to say he's 'taken' more money than anyone else is a snide use of language - we asked him to play for us, not the other way around, so any money he's received is what the owners have deemed he's worth and has been freely given rather than taken. After that it's opinions in terms of whether he's earned the praise he's getting on this thread. I think he's given us a level of passion, commitment and dedication that we've rarely had from Town players. You clearly disagree, no problem there (other than thinking oligeanous is a pompous word, particularly using it on a football forum, but whatever floats your boat). |
