Football is an entertainment business and at the moment there is no entertainment with Palace the players look tired and disinterested especially Zaha. As Warnock once said you need the ooos and ahhs with shots on goal to get the crowd interested and engaged. The entertainment that's served up now is almost non existent.
Whether or not people are allowed back next season remains to be seen but as a long term season ticket holder I'm not sure I can watch another season with such defensive tactics and Roy's reluctance to try anything different no matter who we are playing or what the score is.

I think we are screwed - Hodgson with I guess 3 additions to the squad for next season will play the same way again and may just keep us up. However, I doubt looking at the way we are finishing this season that squad even with those additions will stay up. I’m fairly sure we are going down next season and we will be relegated by the time the Xmas decs come down. Reason I think we are screwed is because I don’t think anyone Replacing Hodgson can make this squad any better - we are doomed whatever we do I’m afraid. Unless we replace practically everyone and that won’t happen. I’m wondering if we should hand the reigns now to Cahill with perhaps Freedman as his number two and see how they can finish this season? If looking good then give it a go for next season? I just don’t think without a major overhaul anyone can keep us up :-(

10th highest wage bill in the division. It’s not that limited.

I also doubt we’ll see a change of manager next season unless Hodgson decides to stand down.
My view on Hodgson is not based on the last three games which we’ve all lost without scoring.
He could equally point in response to the four games before that which we all won without conceding a goal.
My difficulty with him is that season I’ve only really enjoyed at home the Villa and Liverpool games during which we actually took the game to the opposition and played with some attacking intent and purpose.
I can’t prove it, but remain convinced that we could have at least as many points as we have now if we attacked teams more without the smothering rigid play and lack of flexibility that we witness most games.

This is why I am in the Roy remain camp.

Do I like his style, no. Do I even understand his decision making at times, no. Do I believe we’ll progress under Roy, please.

At the moment, we have no money to spend on transfers and a relegation worthy team.

I understand the appeal of being in the championship again if just to see us compete in games but would still prefer we stay up, just my personal preference not saying it’s right or wrong. Roy is probably our only bet, but even that’s not guaranteed. I would say however I think most seasons were a sure bet to go down.

Also, I can’t see many managers retaining the will to live let alone do the job for an entire season but RH will.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Wage budget is far more indicative of squad quality, and the correlation between wage bill and league finish is far stronger than transfer spend/league finish.
