[Archived] Woys Back..

[Ste B]

Didnt see that one coming.

[Eddie]

He'll probably do quite well there. Always liked him.

[LeftWinger]

Bit of a shock - interesting one that.

I'll be following their results with interest.

Woy

[Grabbi Graeme]

Very surprised when I seen it on SSN, I thought John Collins would have been favourite, always thought Hodgson was a good manager and thought we hit panic button in sacking him.

[Lathund]

I like Roy, despite not doing too well here. Any foreigner who learns Swedish gets my respect Been a studio guest a few times here and seems pretty sound. Did very well with Finland too.

[tony gale's mic]

there's a lot of disappointed fans phoning into SSN right now. i dont think its a bad appointment, theyre hardly going to get mourinho in their position? and although he didnt do a great job with us, that was all part of a wider problem at the club at the time.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Good luck to him.

Good to see him back in the premier league. I'm surprised he hasn't come back earlier than this considering his vast knowledge in the game.

[Wolves_Rover]

It must have been the prospect of having Kuqi on his playing staff that was the clincher.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Always talked our support up for the size of the town when asked by the ignorant media.He was stabbed in the back by various players towards the end of his tenure at Ewood.

Good luck to him.

[broadsword]

Always had time for Roy, I wish him all the best.

[RevidgeBlue]

If you look at woy's managerial career stats, the vast majority of his success came in the late 70's and 80's - since the end of 2001 his CV is extremely sketchy.

I think it's a very strange appointment by Fulham that will backfire on them big style, but time will tell.

Maybe he's hoping to get Al Fayed to spend 13m on Kevin Davies and Christian Dailly.

EDIT: What do you think ffan?

[T4E]

Going down x 3

[philipl]

Woy couldn't contain his ego or manage the players' egos at Ewood. I think this is a very good appointment by Fulham and guess Woy has scouted some gems around Europe who will be going to the Cottage in the next five weeks.

[Ben-2000]

Good Luck Roy.

Hope he gets a good reception on his return to Ewood.

[Cocker]

WOW

Bet he gets spending in Jan. They have a load of tosh players that need to be binned too.

[Guest Kamy100]

I liked Roy and deffo a good appointment for Fulham. Wish him all the best.

[Flopsy]

where's Colins John at the moment?

[ffan]

where's Colins John at the moment?

Leicester City.

[Jan]

Maybe that means John Collins WILL be Scotland manager (cross fingers and toes)

Always liked Woy. Tim Sherwood had a lot to answer for.

[blue phil]

I can't believe this love-in .

The bloke was an egotist who spent most of his time in the Sky studios angling for the England job ; sacking him was an absolute necessity at the time .......

Can only see him ballsing it up again - I nearly feel sorry for Fayed

[Nelsta]

They were talking about it on Setanta's football show.And they were saying that tim sherwood claimed woy to be the best coach he worked under.

[rover6]

But will Woy have the charisma to gee players into performing? He may be knowledgeable and intelligent but I'm not sure about his man-management.

He deserves the chance though.

[blue phil]

...whilst Stu Ripley described him as a "football scientist" .

Kev Gallagher was on the radio before saying that the injuries we had at the time devastated his team and that the English weather wasn't conducive to his training methods . Maybe the two things were related ......

[John]

Always liked Roy and thought he was a good manager.

Will be interesting to see how he gets on. Especially who he buys in the January window!

[grizfoot]

Still think he's a decent manager, did a good job for us at one point and then things ermm let's say turned pear-shaped. A potentially good appointment by Fulham.
