‘Taken ill’ as in told them to f*ck off no doubt.

Taken ill is such a strange turn of phrase
Even if he told them to feck off would be a bit odd for Palace to just say something like taken ill rather than saying he's not doing the press conference. Do hope Roy is ok. Probably the last of the old school gents still involved at this level of the game
You’re right, you just wouldn’t say anything so I assume he is ill. Poor old Roy, it should never have got to this point.
In interviews he often struck me as someone who had a short fuse. I guess you've got to have a high bullshit tolerance to deal with the press regularly, and sometimes he couldn't be arsed with them.

I can't believe CP are going to sack a sick, old man. Ruthless!!
He's a petulant arsehole. Always someone else's fault.
Let's hope it's that and nothing serious.

They'll Look right bstards now if they annouce they're sacking a sick man
Isn’t that true of most managers?
Good timing I guess. They could do with a new manager bounce these next few weeks. They have Bournemouth, Everton, Burnley, Forest and Luton in their next 7 games. Each one of those games look like 6 pointers.
Ruthless.
Ruthless.
They are perilously close to relegation with Luton and Everton showing form. Good timing and not waiting till they are in bottom 3
I'm fairness, if telling him he's sacked has made him ill,he probably shouldn't be managing anyway.
"Honey, I'm going to run down to the store and get some Ill to take. Just don't wanna go in to the office today..."
Why is it ruthless? Palace fans have been calling for his head for a while now. He's been a dead man walking for weeks.
Happened last season when they hired Hodgson. Had a tough run, not won for ages, had a nice run of games and won a bunch of them to steer them clear of the relegation battle. Might be deja vu.
Now if they could just leave Roy in the old folks home this time and not bother him anymore, that'd be lovely.
Imagine the interviewer in the restart of the interview trying to keep a straight face when he asked that question about decisions going against him
you reckon they’ll get this german in, sack him, then bring hodgson back again, just few a new manager bounce?
The dream.
What a bizarre day. Parish accompanied Roy to the hospital by all accounts. Meanwhile Romano saying Glasner’s signed a contract. Only at Palace.
Poor Woy. Hope he retires permanently from football now, just not worth it at his age.
So? They'd already decided to sack him.

Anything to get the interactions and clicks quicker from confirm man
They really can't announce anything today now surely. Would only make them look like heartless cnuts
Roy Hodgson sacked and will be replaced by Roy Hodgson.
Hope he's okay.
We see with managers far younger than him that the stress eventually takes its toll. He did what was needed last season to keep them up and it should have been left at that. Nobody forced him to carry on of course but with Palace being his boyhood club I guess it makes it more difficult to give up.

You’d think his family will be pleading with him to call time on management now.
Jesus, ‘stable in hospital’ sounds bad. Hope he’s okay. I too assumed he’d told the club to feck off with the press conference news and rumours of his impending sack but this seems serious. Walk away Roy, it’s not worth it.
My second thought was that the news sent him into this state, though I really believe he wants/wanted out.
Weird they couldn’t announce it in a nicer way. Mutually agreed to part company?
Thats what I thought as well. Under immense pressure and then rumours start of being let go. Its put younger men under a lot of strain.
He needs to retire. He’s 76, he should be enjoying his retirement. Props to him for continuing I guess but still.
