Roy Hodgson

[jimharri]

Didn’t rate him as a Manager but wish him all the best, he needs to enjoy the rest of his life.

Absolutely. I wouldn't wish ill health on anyone. But if I were to do so, he wouldn't be anywhere near the top of the list.

Hope it isn't serious and all the best for a speedy recovery. Football is of no importance at least until your better.

You’d hope that they are totally unrelated. Hodgson deserves a decent send off from Palace. Boyhood club and saved them from relegation last season.

If it was Palace’s way of removing Hodgson from the limelight, they were poorly advised to use ill health for someone of his age.

Personal reasons would have been more than enough.

Do you really think a high-profile foreign club would pull such a stunt?

Why read something into it that just isn’t there?

Get well soon, Roy.

Which club are you talking about?

Even Palace fans were questioning what was going on this morning before more info trickled out.

You‘re replying to my post made earlier today with hindsight and more info than was known at that point.

They're going to change their manager and Hodgson has fallen ill on the same day. It‘s not difficult to see how people thought they might be connected. (And still could be)

Edit: Seems it was agreed last night, so they could be related.

Yeah, fair enough, mate.

But I still don’t think Palace, or any other club, would claim that an employee had fallen ill, rather than state that he’d been sacked.

Could be stress related due to him being told his services were no longer required. Only IMO of course.

If (in the unlikely event) I'm still working at 76, I'd be relieved not stressed.

British PL manager count drops to 6 - lowest ever?

 

[Bald fraud]

Imagine the media outrage if we were about to sack a manager who then became ill possibly due to the stress of it all. Hopefully he’s ok. Time for him to enjoy his retirement I think

Should never have gone back in fairness.

So much respect for the guy, but he should be chilling on a beach right now.
