ohhh_yeah 2991 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 'After long talks with the chairman and the board I am convinced that we can take the club to a new level' Staff and agencies Friday December 28, 2007 Guardian Unlimited Fulham have appointed former Blackburn and Inter Milan boss Roy Hodgson as their new manager. Hodgson, 60, has signed what a club statement described as a "long-term contract" and will take over after tomorrow's match against Birmingham. The caretaker management team of Ray Lewington and Billy McKinlay will remain in charge for the trip to St Andrews with the Londoners third from bottom of the Barclays Premier League. "I am delighted to have been offered this opportunity with Fulham," said Hodgson. "After long talks with the chairman and the board I am convinced that we can take the club to a new level. I am determined that we will overcome the current position, which I understand will be a challenge, but one that I will relish. "I am very much looking forward to training with the team on Sunday, and will of course be at St Andrews tomorrow to watch the vital clash against Birmingham City."

Jimbo 175 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 He'd just taken a job working under Morrati at Inter Milan, Fayed must have made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6957 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Was just talking about him with my mate last week. I think he is a decent manager. 1 bad season at Blackburn after getting them Europe tarnished his rep imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Was just talking about him with my mate last week. I think he is a decent manager. 1 bad season at Blackburn after getting them Europe tarnished his rep imo. strikes me as having zero personality, and lacking the ability to take pressure. But we will see. Maybe he is a "Fulham" level of manager. Edited December 29, 2007 by LeazesMag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
