    Roy should not only win the award it should be unanimous.

    If we win the Europa League he should be knighted. Hell, he's Sir Roy Hodgson in my book already....and manager of the year.

    manager of the year will go to Ferguson if they pip Chelsea at the post.

    Having said that, Roy has pretty much rehabilitated the almost extinct species of Respected English Managers. For that reason, I'm pretty sure you'll see him knighted regardless of how we do in Hamburg.

    I have just heard on Radio 2 that Roy Hodgson has been named Manager of the Year by the league managers association (LMA). However, this might not be the only honour he gains this season. Gordon Brown's decision to stand down as Labour party leader this afternoon means that there will be a "Leaving list" set of honours presented to the Queen's Privy Counsel in due course (recall John Major's Leaving honours list in 1997 often referred to as the "purple list"). It is likely a new government will be formed when Parliament reconvenes Monday, and this would occur just five days after the Europa League final. In 2003, an OBE was conferred on Mr. Martin O'Neil for taking Celtic FC to the UEFA Cup final which they lost. I believe that if we lift the Europa League Cup on Wednesday, he ma yet be knighted for services to sport. Trevor Brooking was knighted in 2004, though as I recall, he was by then a member of government. Regretfully to my tastes, Alex Ferguson (of Manchester United, not "the traveller") was knighted in 1999 in what I viewed as a gratuitously populist move by new Labour to burnish further their middle England bona-fides. I do not know or care to know Mr. Hodgson's politics or exactly how these matters work in the Westminster village. Yet, on the basis of his life's work in Switzerland, Scandinavia and points further afield, including his contributions with our Whites and both of these suffused with his indelible gentlemanliness (as evidenced by our Fair Play League ranking), a knighthood would appear duly merited by me, Fulham supporters the world-round and the vast majority of HM's subjects.

    and, those of you addicted to Facebook will know that there's a huge fan page entitled "Abolish the British Government and Replace it with Roy Hodgson." Who knows.

    Here's my favorite quote from the article:

    He deserves all the plaudits. But just imagine how things today would be very different if we had lost to Portsmouth and were relegated. Where would Roy be today? Retired?
