Erm …. I don’t know how to break this and I don’t want to worry anyone but I’ve just seen a source on twitter that is normally quite reliable and a good lad that Wayne Hennessy is on an emergency loan …. That really will put the cherry on cake if true

Parish doesn't need more time to find a new manager all it does is put if off until the summer as 'there will be more options available then'. Cue the Parish summer holiday for three weeks before we get down to the month long search for a new manager.

We then have a month to get about 7 new players in. We won't. We will renew Clyne, Ayew, Tomkins and Ward and be starting next season piss poor prepared again.

The only valid reason to do this, is if there is a planned change of ownership in the summer.

Apologies, for the rant. But this knee jerk, short termism and doing it on the cheap is what holds us back.

Narcissists never admit they are wrong or say sorry. I know these things, trust me. Can spot Parish a mile away.

Absolutely adds up. We have 10games to get 12 points. Roy knows the club the players know him and his methods. That gives a fighting chance of sorting out the mess asap. Also Roy has a pretty decent record eeking out narrow victories against the weaker teams. Secure safety and then regroup seems like a sensible plan.

I have always held Steve Parish in high regard for what he has done for this football club, but this Hodgson appointment is a huge slap in the face for hard working Palace supporters. What justification and thinking does this appointment prove. How can Parish come out with a statement stating that we all loved Patrick and what he has done for this football club and the hard work he has put in the exciting football he bought to this club then make this appointment completely two faced IMO complete lack of ambition a lack of forward thinking and complete panic appointment it’s an insult.
So this appointment is until end of season, what are the expectations on that !. I except Parish to come out with it was the only appointment Roy Hodgson will give us hope of staying in this league. Hoping by end of season and waiting for a manager like Moyes to be sacked by WHU. dreamland imo.
As I stated before we have had a horrendous run of games all basically top clubs losing by the odd goal. I’m sorry but this was a panic sacking and now a panic appointment. We are now going to watch and produce negative outdated football with Hodgson’s firm favourites like Milo back in the team. For the first time in my 50plus years as a Palace supporter I am completely disillusioned and embarrassed by this club.

Absolutely ridiculous decisions being made. Have real fears now for the rest of the season. Truly awful appointment.
