Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has deciding against applying for the vacant Norway post. "It's a very interesting and high-prestige job and I hope they find the right man," he said.

"But Fulham have treated me very well since I have come here, I enjoy my job here and I have never entertained the thought of breaking my contract with them.

"In football you can never be certain what tomorrow brings but at the moment I fully intend to respect my contract and I hope Fulham are as happy with me as I am with them."
