Roy Hodgson retiring

[Deckard2049]

I enjoyed his explanations after England’s loss to Iceland at euro 2016.

Just looked up the amount of teams he’s managed.

Some career that.

Will be interesting to see how Palace get on without him. He's given them a lot of stability and they never looked in serious relegation trouble under him. Hiring Frank Lampard to replace him would be a disaster IMO.

still funny that he managed Inter Milan on two seperate occasions, taking them to a UEFA cup final and managing R9

Didn't mind 'Woy'. Had a more than respectable career managing teams at the top level without ever quite winning major honours outside of Scandinavia.

But normally did the job he was asked to do. Liverpool was a disaster for him and England was dissapointing. But the former it seems like the squad decided they disliked his style and, well, England lol. Its rare anyone succeeds.

Happy retirement Woy. The Proto-Moyes I suspect in terms of career trajectory.

He’s crap IMO

Amazing to think he'd been a manager for around 20 years before he actually coached an English side. It'd be great to see more coaches who talk of the lack of opportunities here try their luck overseas. Managed in six countries in the end, as well as being the national team manager of 4.

I’ll give that some thought.

Not quite. His 2nd job was Bristol City.

Only for like 2 months though.

Had a great career, one of the characters I like and respect in the game.

Kudos to him for going abroad for work and spreading his wings at some interesting locations, when many others wouldn't. His CV and memories are much the better for it.

I wish him well.

I see Herr Klopp is in the press saying that he promises that the Liverpool supporters will give Roy Hodgson a proper farewell in his final game at their place. Hmmm....hypocrisy or maybe just the usual RS denial of past events. I recall them being the agent provocateurs to his last farewell from them...when they petitioned FSG in their thousands to sack him immediately. Roy was on the sticky end of their wrath for his response to their open criticism of him during matches there when they were chanting "Hodgson for England" and "Dalglish". He suggested that theyd be better off getting behind the team instead.
Of course, now the usual applies...if they dont mention it, it never happened.

Couldnt have been long, granted. He came as assistant to the bloke who managed Malmo to a European Cup final I think, and took over for a while when he was sacked. Club was a shambles at the time.
