Many thanks to Roy Hodgson and his service over the last 4 years as Crystal Palace manager. There were ups and downs, great performances and dire ones but the most important thing was the consistency of premier league status which when he took over, was in serious threat of not being maintained. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours, and would love to have him work with club if he so chooses in the future in the board level. Lastly I wish I was able to attend tomorrow's game against Arsenal to give him a proper send off but I am sure those Palace supporters in attendance will do him that dignity and I will certainly applaud him from home too! Congratulations Roy and well deserved tenure at Palace!

To our local Hero's Roy n Ray
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

The irony of VIVA Originally posted by mr. apollo I echo the sentiments but if you are going to cut and paste get the mans name right... Vive Roy! Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I liked the earlier quote of Hodgson as a broadsheet in a tabloid world. So very apt, indeed So my message to Roy: A big thank you Roy and it's great that you are going out the front door so to speak. I note you say it's time "to step away from the rigours of top-flight Premier League football". Does that mean you might have a shot at getting the Baggies (or even Fulham) back up again? Or has your better half decided that you should celebrate your golden wedding somewhere other than on a football pitch? Either way, enjoy the next stage of life and if that doesn't include managing a football team, find something interesting to keep those 'little grey cells' working.

Originally posted by Phil’s Barber Thanks Roy for all your hard work and the good times but it is certainly time to go. We have been stagnating and as a result have had to endure some of the dullest uninspiring ‘football’ I’ve ever seen us play. Looking forward with relish to the new management and their assembled squad. I'm seem to remember similar comments from some Charlton A supporters when they were last in PL lets hope we are not heading the same way!

goodoldstick 18 May 21 2.23pm
With best wishes for your retirement Roy. I believe that history will judge you kindly as one of our greatest managers. Competed in the top league with limited resources against the big boys with much deeper pockets. Always conducted yourself with the utmost decency and professionalism, a credit to the game. All the best as well to Ray and the rest of the team, it'll be quieter on the touchline. From a fellow John Ruskin old boy, I'll be there to give you a proper send-off tomorrow.

windsoreagle Windsor 18 May 21 2.23pm
I would like to join the vast majority of others on this thread thanking "Sir" Roy Hodgson not just for his service to our club, but to his country and to Football in general. It has been our privilege to see his philosophy in action, and I am grateful for what he has done in stabilising the club, and at the same time helping two bring forward the youngsters. I will not be using this thread to speculate on future management, but I am hoping the Directors will not delay a decision, as IMHO any club in this position needs continuity of management in the close season in preparation for August. Just sorry that in this last season we weren't able to be at the ground as much as we would have liked to have given more vocal support to both the team and Roy. Best wishes for the future to Roy and his family. The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.

Originally posted by viveasheagle Although it is probably not a shock it does tinge me with sadness. As a manager you want someone who is good to their word respectful and honorable and Roy has these traits in abundance. I hope we find a manager with these qualities together with Roy's football knowledge. There are plenty of manager's who might be good in the short term but not sure there are many who are capable of doing 4 years at one club in the premiership and been successful in their objectives on a tight budget. We will miss him and Ray Lewington. I couldn't have said it better. Thank you for your service Roy & Ray. Success will lie to you but failure always tells you the truth.

Roy has done a good job however many of his favourite players have failed to get out of first gear this season. Hopefully a new manager brings a bit of spark back to our performances. I also think having so many players out of contract gives a new manager a great opportunity to build a team in his own image.
