..What a contrast for two London managers!Fulham's Roy Hodgson is voted as the LMA (Managers Association) Manager of the Year.Gianfranco Zola,having kept them up,is sacked by West Ham United.Hodgson has done a remarkable job at Fulham who again finished in a decent position in the Premier League,despite only one away win,and has done brilliantly going into tonight's Europa League final against Atletico Madrid in Hamburg.Fulham have played 63 matches this season..and travelled 20,000 miles in 18 matches in Europe.I am told Zola and co-owner David Sullivan have not been speaking on a regular if any basis.There was only going to be one outcome.Zola kept
Fulham in the Premier League but it was not enough for the new owners.His replacement will have a much longer run.Sullivan once told me he does not like changing managers once they have appointed one.The new boss always wants loads of money for new players and new backroom staff.It cost fortunes every time with no guarantee of course of success.Mark Hughes,I hear,has turned down the chance to manager West Ham.
