I get your point... Not quite the same though... Hodgson and Trump..... Not a lot in common there. However yes a 72 year old can have a few years left in a career but it’s not age that is the problem for me it’s that Roy is getting found out by certain teams this season and has no answer. You don’t lose 3 times to Watford or twice to Brighton through just bad luck. We are player for player easily superior to both of those sides but come away with 5 losses to those outfits this campaign. For those saying Roy should have gone at the end of last year, they must have missed his words at the last game. Kicking on and not being perennial relegation fodder was the general jist. Quite a speech it was. He was going nowhere at that point. It seems things have run their course but parish flogs dead horses regularly, and he loves an older manager it seems. The only thing that can retire Hodgson, is Hodgson.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Like many I am frustrated that Roy does not feel brave enough to make changes to try and win a game. Was at the game yesterday and again substitutions left far to late. It was a one off game and we should have gone for it rather than wait and wait in hope! Saying all that I am not wanting him to be moved on as I can’t see Palace attracting a manager that could move us forward at the moment. Mr Freedman is waiting quietly in the wings and this would be a total disaster as my feeling is Parish wouldn’t hesitate to hand him the job. As posted by someone earlier we do need to be careful what we wish for.

As posted by someone earlier we do need to be careful what we wish for. Dougie has no interest in managing again so I don't see this happening. The more disappointing this season gets, the more Hodgson comes under scrutiny. I've continued to support him through thick and ( mainly ) thin, but I think his position needs looking at in the summer. However realistic, viable alternatives are in short supply.

What about Sean Dyche? He wanted the job badly couple of seasons ago but we blanked him for FDB. Burnley are struggling big time, he might have had enough and looking for a change in the summer. Where is the evidence of this ?

To people who say be careful what you wish for in daring to question Roy’s for his lack of ambition and verve I would contend that football is about aiming high and living the dream.

There may be a shortage of suitable replacements, but have noticed former Palace favourite Tony Popovic is doing it again in Australia with a 2nd different club, Perth Glory, who are well clear in their league.....

Not knowing who could replace Hodgson does not preclude someone for voicing concerns that he should not be our manager next year.

Well said. And at least Roy hasn’t walked out on us on the eve of a new season or announced a fake retirement. And he’s certainly not using us as a stepping stone. Given that he hasn’t been backed in the market and inherited an unbalanced squad he isn’t doing badly. OK, he’s a steady Eddy, but when has a club of our stature attracted and, more to the point, retained, an exciting and successful manager?
