Bit suprised at this actually. I know there's been lots of talk about it, but thought he would stay, as he does appear to be loyal to the club, and has a good rapport with the fans.
I can't imagine that they owners don't have someone in mind. Hodgson has been mentioned above, and he'd be a good shout. I for one think he would leave Fulham for Liverpool. Fulham are in a bit of turmoil also, with Al Fayed selling Harrods, so it might well be time for Hodgson to move on - lets face it, he's taken Fulham as far as they will ever go.
