tbf as a long term supporter of roy, who is doing a amazing job given the tools at his disposal, i more than understand roy is not a long term option. however, what all you fans who want roy sacked can not do, is put any options on the table as viable replacements to replace him. not one viable option, yet you still want the guy who achieves & progresses the club year on year sacked. with this in mind, given the stability needed to oversee this summers squad upheavel...i really, really hope roy signs a new 1 year extension. If by tools, you mean the players then yes sometimes they are. Alternatively different people use tools in a different way, sometimes in a more efficient way with better results.

Is it the role of fans to be able to provide a viable alternative manager before venturing an opinion as to whether Hodgson should stand down at the end of the season?

Of course that's common sense and wouldn't be the end of the world although some fans will think it is, but I feel he'd at last keep us up but this task will eventually become futile if we don't strengthen our squad before next season.

I recall hearing that Southampton were constantly working to identify future managers and this might be the case to this day. Southampton had a list of potential appointments to consider as soon as Pochettino resigned. Southampton's view was that there has to be a succession plan and they possibly had up to 10 candidates on a list of potential candidates. Like targeting players and doing the background analysis and due diligence they have always done the same process with regard to managers and coaches. Despite all their analysis they did appoint Pellegrino who never lasted a season and Southampton were 17th when he departed after 30 PL games! Edited by Willo (11 Feb 2021 9.41am)

I'm a Palace supporter. I don't watch matches to be entertained by the opposition out-performing us in every area of the pitch. I take no satisfaction in that whatsoever and if anything it compounds my reason for being hugely dissatisfied with where we are right now, which is why we'll find no common ground. Which is ok I guess, each to their own.

you are of course correct, but when a opinion has not been attained using facts & well reasoned thought process it does not hold much gravitas. Football is full of facts and most sides of arguments can use them to justify most thought processes. And as to what constitutes a well reasoned thought process, that is again subjective depending on one's own stance. This is a 'Roy Out' thread, concerning opinions on whether the manager should stay or go, there are legitimate arguments on both sides. From my perspective, it could be boiled down to those who are more risk averse and those who are not. Or those who value entertainment over status, a combination of both or the grey in between such as considering Roy staying being a risk in itself which again could be backed up by facts. Whatever your stance, nobody cannot claim it to be 'fact' without the hindsight of seeing every hypothetical situation play out, which is impossible. And as previously mentioned, nobody can claim to have 'greater footballing knowledge' than anyone else. I would claim our football of late to be sh!t, representing no value for entertainment and very worrying, but that's only my opinion no matter how I justify it. What I do loathe is people constantly jumping on other's posts and using childish, weird sort of virtue signalling claims like calling others 'plastic' or 'not real' fans, 'bedwetters' or claiming people know 'nothing about football'. It's football FFS, its a funny old game and part of its beauty is it is always open to opinion. Who'd of thought Leicester, who'd of thought Palace 8 years in the prem 10 years ago, who of us thought FdB would was a good idea, who'd of thought David Moyes doing so well back at WHU etc etc etc etc infinity. If people want to have a moan let them, that's surely part of the deal of being a football fan isn't it? if people think Roy out that's fair enough, as if they do Roy in. By all means post your own opinions, or counter others, but don't claim your opinions as 'fact' to dismiss all opposition, its ridiculous. Some smart a**e can go back and find my previous posts now where I will directly contradict this lengthy rant, COYP
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

His record without Zaha is totally damning. People who say Roy keeps us in the league are wrong. Zaha keeps us in the league in spite of Hodgson.

In short, that appears to be true whether you are watching it live and having to experience the dross we play, or utilising facts to justify it. I think it is only 2 in 21 we have won without Zaha and hardly scored a goal in the process? That is a damning statistic for sure.

It is a damning statistic, but is it so damning of Hodgson, the fact that when Wilf , is out no one member , or group within the group can step up enough to obtain results without him?
