LONDON (Reuters) - Few managers have started as many new chapters in football management as Roy Hodgson, but the 70-year-old insists the latest with Crystal Palace will be a happy one. That episode, he says, is now behind him and he is looking forward to leading Palace away from trouble. It could be a good year if it ends up with Palace in the Premier League and the fans happy: that would make me very happy." "I don't look at four matches, I'm looking at 34 matches," Hodgson, the second oldest active manager in English football's top four divisions, said. "It's a chapter that's finished, in the past as far as I'm concerned, and now it's a chapter in the book of life opening for me, and one I'm looking forward to."
