""No - I am too old," said Hodgson when asked if he was interested in taking the job permanently."
""I think it was the fact that it was a short-term project, a short-term appointment. After the club made their decision to change, I think they were looking for someone who could step in and was prepared to do a job for seven games.""
""Of course that appealed to me, because I have retired from the real maelstrom of working as a professional coach again, but I thought that I could manage five weeks - and I might even look forward to the five weeks, which has been the case so far.""

Hodgson's first managerial role in English football was at Bristol City, and he has since managed several prominent clubs and national teams. His upcoming match against Charlton Athletic marks a 44-year gap since his last tenure with the club, setting a record in Football League history. He views this role as a short-term commitment.
