Roy Hodgson

[Wonder Boyo]

Can't find this on another thread. Palace manager Roy Hodgson fell ill during training this morning and is now in hospital, thankfully stable.

The rumour was that he was going to be replaced today. I am sure this incident is totally unrelated, but it is a sad way to finish. However, probably another reason to call time on his position at Palace. Hopefully he will fully recover. Best wishes to Roy.

Get well soon Roy time to consider retirement in the sun

 

[SuperGran]

He’s been sacked and replaced

 

[Wonder Boyo]

He’s been sacked and replaced

Pretty sure that was all going to happen today but nothing has happened officially. Can't imagine they will announce his sacking and replacement today, while he's still in hospital.

Incredible to have still been managing a premier league side at his age. Hope he recovers well.

That’s is absolutely disgusting
Shame shame shame on Palace

Awful football club. Awful fans, awful stadium.

Football seems to be such a ruthless 'Business' now.

I quite like Palace as a club, always feels like they've got good community links and as the main force in South London they must have so much potential. The ground is 'characterful' (OK a bit ****, but not soulless). This looks so bad on them though, but if they were about to sack him and he fell ill and they've delayed the announcement, but it's got out anyway, hard to know what they could do?

Anyway hope Roy is OK, as I said the other day, whatever his connections to that lot, he's a true football man and a good guy.

To be fair to Palace they haven't officially announced it yet. It was all going to through today but they obviously had to cancel the announcement out of respect after this unexpectedly happened. Fabrizio Romano obviously knows it's all in place and has leaked the news. If anything, it's poor judgement and disrespful by him

I think this is exactly what happened
Awkward for palace now

 

[Tring Wolf]

A thoroughly decent, proper football man. Came down to run a training session at our local club a couple of years back and was so generous with his time and knowledge.

Hated having someone who I liked and respected so much as Albion boss.

Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

Personally I can't stand Palarse ... they always seemed to manage to do what we couldn't do; they always beat us; often beat us badly; every time I've been at their place I've found myself behind a slab of concrete and can't see much [in fact probably no bad thing given the previous points]; their place is a pain to get to and from; Zaha.

However, I'm very fond of Roy Hodgson. Even with his Boggies connection.

So - shame on you, Palarse.

Football has to take a back seat at times like this. Roy Hodgson has got nothing to prove to anyone. I hope he makes a full recovery and can have a well deserved retirement.

No Dignity. Hope they get relegated eagle poo poo

Given everything will have been agreed yesterday, what would you have them do? They've presumably held off on the announcement, but beyond that their hands are pretty tied.

Maybe they should pretend it hadn't happened until he gets out of hospital? Or pretend it hasn't happened and wait until they lose another game before doing it?

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Awful football club. Awful fans, awful stadium.

Awful owners

Football seems to be such a ruthless 'Business' now.

Shades of John Ireland sacking Stan Cullis when he was ill!

'Hello Mr Hodgson, here's the nurse, here's the doctor, here's your P45' ?

He came out of retirement to bail their asses out last season when they were in deep trouble. The very least that they could do is treat him with respect as a result. I wish them relegation.

 

[stever]

Who's this Glasner fella?

 

[TriumphWolf]

I hope he recovers quickly and calls it a day from the football management circus - he doesn’t need the hassle and has more than earned his rest.

Ex-Frankfurt manager who Real Madrid and Spurs were allegedly looking at.....

 

[WickedWolfie]

Agreed. I hope that Colin looks at what has happened too....

 

[Darvo]

Let’s hope he makes a full recovery. A proper football man and a gentleman to boot.

 

[Andywolf74]

Get well soon Roy and then call time on a thoroughly decent career.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Palace should really have let Roy go last summer. He steadied the ship when Vieira left, but he shouldn't have been a long term replacement, at his age. Parish has tried doing it on the cheap.

Parish also actually weakened their squad.

Awful football club. Awful fans, awful stadium.

I agree

 

[Krispy Kreme]

Ungrateful those palace fans.

25000 average attendance, mid table is as good as they can expect much like us.

If they force him out they will join the likes of Charlton and Curbishley, Bolton and Allardyce. Others I can't recall.

Get well soon Woy.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Hope palace gew down

 

[JOSWolf]

Get well soon Roy.

 

[WWFC4EVA]

Get well soon Roy.
A thoroughly likeable chap, despite his obvious carrier bag links.

 

[Loefah]

Awful football club. Awful fans, awful stadium.

Based on what exactly? A bit OTT.

I'll never understand the random disdain posters on here have for other clubs.

Anyway, best wishes to Roy, a true gent.

 

[Scallywolf]

Get well soon Roy.

You thoroughly deserve a happy retirement with plenty of sunshine.

You owe nobody absolutely nothing, especially Crystal Palace.

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Always liked Roy except when he was at the Poorthorns.

There's worse out there than Palace, given Roy's illness happened after it had been leaked that he'd already been effectively sacked.

Forest, Brentford, Everton

That's my dream relegation trio - though unlikely to happen.

2025 can see Bournemouth, Palace and Villa go down. I think the last on that list are in for a big shock when waving goodbye to Emery and two good players.
