A fair few Fulham fans as well as neutrals have noticed that Roy Hodgson doesn’t tend to stay in a job for more than a couple of years. I don’t think that’s down to any Kevin Keegan tendency but more the fact that an attractive new challenge could appeal to him.
I’m a little late in catching the news but The People suggested that Sunderland were interested in perhaps tempting our Roy to takeover at the Stadium of Light. Whilst you can understand why a manager who masterminded one of the most unimaginable escapes from relegation in the history of the game would be top of their shortlist, I wouldn’t think Roy fancies swapping a side who he has fashioned into a mid-table outfit for a team that, at best, will just about avoid the drop this season.
As for their comments (or rather those of Tribal Football) that Hodgson has yet to negotiate a new contract with Al-Fayed or anyone else at the football club, doesn’t this mirror the kind of thinking that Hodgson had about contract negotiations for the likes of Jimmy Bullard? They could be a distraction and, as he hasn’t given any indication that he’s planning on going anywhere else, can easily be started in the summer when there aren’t a few more important Premier League games to play.
Sorry mate but i wouldnt want hodgson as our new manager, if i remember rightly fulham were’nt to far from relegation last season??, look at both teams on paper and there isnt a lot of difference really just a few shock results yor team had,I think it will depend on what your chairman offers him in the way of funds to move the club on i know we would offer more that is fact and then put into account our fanbase and stadium, i think he would come but i hope not.
but of course thats if we stay up
What phil?? Try actually paying attention rather than just getting your football news from soccer am. We had sanchez for half of last season who we sacked when we were 2nd bottom at christmas and had a mess of a squad. Over the next 4 months hodgson rebuilt the squad and saved us from relegation. Our results since he became our manager 1.5 years ago have been that of a top 8 team.
We are way better than you on paper as a team. We are around 10 points better off than you and have a consistent team with about 4/5 youngsters on the verge of breaking through. Surely being able to beat big teams (shock results as you call them) consistnely over a season indicate a team that is good. If you keep getting the results they no longer become shock anymore.
Sorry but your stadium may be big but nice it is not, it is boring and souless. Ours is widely considered to be the last real ground in the league. Your fanbase is only a couple of thousand better off than ours, check the stats we sell out most games and need to expand out stadium, yours was half empty when we played there. And this with a town who don’t have any other team (there are 5 teams in london in the premier league alone!) and nothing better to do than watch your team or cisse get into more fights with women (allegedly).
Well said Matthew totally agree with your views.
sunderland > fulham. simples.
I think the real question is why a West Ham fan feels moved to comment.
