Sad to hear. I know people have a passion for the game but it’s the last thing I’d want to be doing at his age. Retire and enjoy life for the short time you have left.

Totally agree.

Warnock and Hodgson are both in their late 70s and obviously enjoy the job.

But it’s a stressful job and at some point they have to decide to retire for good.

Sir Alex Ferguson retired at 71 and that was probably the right age for him. He’s still involved with football but can also enjoy his last years, as you say.

Hope he's OK. Always liked Hodgson.

I think that retiring is harder for some people, it would be for me too. What would you do with your time to keep your mind active and not be bored all day every day

Link to him being fired & the new guy taking over?

BBC says it is likely to happen not that it has.

It’s from a tweet by Fabrizio Romano, not normally wrong.
