Had the chance to move to a lot of good clubs in the summer but decided he was too good for that and chose to sit on the bench of the club that froze him out and expected everything to change. hope he’s not on our radar because i can’t help but think his form at west ham was simply a purple patch Do we actually know if that was his choice? Im sure I read that he wanted to move but United assured him they wanted him after his great loan spell last season, only to then not use him at all. Then come Jan his contact was about to be up anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also probably been factored in the pay day for moving on a free. Zero chance it was because he expected to start playing again. They had just spent 70m on sancho.

AjcW Posted 4 May 2022 Share Posted 4 May 2022 Hodgson is leaving the Hornets.... apparently 'he's earned the right to take a step back' so I assume he's after a Director of Football role. To be fair with his knowledge and contact book he'd probably do a decent job for a few more years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had a very long and interesting career , it should make a fascinating read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Alex is lucky with the Man Utd ambassador role, he'd probably be dead without it (by his own admission). Not sure there's a similar role at a club for Roy as he's been all over the world but without much longevity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 4 May 2022 Share Posted 4 May 2022 I am shocked to find out that Roy Hodgson, last seen wearing sunglasses and smiling in his chair at Watford's relegation 6-pointer with Burnley, then not attending the post-match interview, will be leaving the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that so the new manager can have 3 games to get to know the squad before being fired in September? Or is it so they can fire the new man in June and give the next-but-one new man a month or two to evaluate the squad before the transfer window?

He was suffering with a eye infection tbf. Surprised Roy is sticking around till the end of the season really . Never really been well received by the fans compared to Ranieri.

This is what will happen Watford will win the league or come second with another flashy coach, the championship is well a bit shit, and watford murdered the divison last time'. You will likley go straight back up with a leeds etc, then get relegated after multiple coaching sackings, again within two years, and so the west brom like cycle shall roll on and on and on. So many issues with the issues that causes this cycle but it goes to the top of english football, and the way moneys distributed.You see how it filters down when you look at how many times barnsley and ortherham have bounched between the championship and league 1. Its a bit depressing the predictability of it all really. its why the top 6 will be the same again as most years, bar the odd change within it.
