He just can't stay away. I hope he's still sporting the shorts on the training field.

Incredible. What a fella. Hope I'm like him when I'm 78!

Roy Hodgson appointed Bristol City head coach as Gerhard Struber sacked by Championship club
The former England, Liverpool and Crystal Palace manager takes over at Bristol City until the end of the season; Bristol City, who are winless in their last six, say Gerhard Struber was dismissed along with assistant Bernd Eibler because recent performances have not met expectations
If only we knew he was back on the market 😅

Fair play to him. Let's hope he can get better results there beyond our 4-1 defeat under him in the League cup in 2017. I was there and also had to witness/endure Ollie's sweet shop team after promotion demise 4-1 as well. Ashton gate has always been a bit of a graveyard for us, Freddie Sears no goal n Lee Trundles extra time disappointment, poor defeat when we were promoted with Chris Armstrong top scorer ( we whipped them at home). I live in Bristol n really don't want to see Palace there after this history.

Oh, I thought this was going to be a spinal injury common in the elderly population.

It is only a short-term appointment of 7 matches.
Besides, Sheila might have encouraged him to give her some respite ! 🤣

He did manage Blackburn Rovers in the late 90s!
He is now 'Roy of the Robins'.
Melchester? 😉

Only a short-term appointment of 7 games with the final game just over a month from now.
Two London games, Charlton & QPR so not far from his abode.
No pressure in terms of promotion or relegation.
I wish Mr Hodgson every success.
Bristol City have had a few managers with connections to our club :
Hodgson, Pemberton, Millen, Coppell, Pulis, Burnside.

How is this Crystal Palace related? Moved to Football Talk forum.

There is of course an outside chance that he may be encouraged, or even required, to attend training sessions too!

I was just entertaining the notion that he might return to the comforts of his own abode after the London games and the journey would not be overly protracted.

I presume Roy's back is less hairy than Ryan Giggs'.

For avoidance of doubt, I have never set eyes on the backs of Mr Hodgson or Ryan Giggs accordingly I cannot comment as to whether they are hirsute or glabrous.

Ryan Giggs was always taking his top off. I don't think it was a bookable offence at that time. Roy, not so much.

Removing one's shirt became a mandatory booking in 2004.
Ryan Giggs' career at Man Utd ended in 2014.
