Why on earth wait til summer? We're pretty much safe and getting rid of Mr Bore now would give the new man time to shift the sh*t from the sugar. Come on Mr Parish you must watch what we do!!

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong

I’d defy anyone to do better with the squad we’ve got. If anything, Hodgson has massively over-delivered during his time with us.

I don't expect Roy will go at the end of the season I just hope some one comes in to learn for another season and then take over from him we can't keep putting up with this his time has past now.

We need some one fresh to do a rebuild the current manager has had a lot of talent which is being wasted.

For me if I was in charge we lose to Burnley at weekend Roy would be gone but SP wont do that he has it easy with Roy.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson, speaking to the BBC, said: "Everything depends upon the opposition and we met a good team.
"I didn't think our passing was as good. The pitch was difficult for both teams which doesn't help when you're the team chasing the game and trying to get back into it.

"They are maybe more used to it. It's not the reason we lost the game but it may have affected the way we were able to pass the ball which I didn't think we did well enough."

Two Hodgson quotes after the game. Why always point out what a good team the opposition is? We play in PL, the strongest league in the world and most teams are very good. But why make them look even better? Our 4-4-2 is not up to it, we even make Burnley, Fulham and Sheff Utd look like Barcelona in their heydays.
Leeds outplayed us, outfought us, outran us and it was quite simply little boys vs big men. The only department we were on top - mispasses and backpasses.
And it gets no better when you see Townsend, Batman and Benteke coming off the bench. Why not bring a young player or two - just travelling with the A-team would give them a lift. And they would be no worse than rest of the pack.
OK, no WZ, but this was beyond bad - it could easily have been another seven behind Guaita. Burnley next - they probably do the double over us this season.

Four wins? We’re not going to get four wins between now and the end of the season, that’s for sure. However I expect we will manage at least a win and a couple of draws which is all we will need. I can’t see any of the bottom three getting to 30 points, not without any home fans to give them that extra impetus.

He should go end of season Gary, but they need to have a decent plan in place and be ready to implement it.

Perhaps it’s wishful thinking on my part, but there seem to be signs that Hodgson will leave at the end of the season.
He says he’s happy to leave the decision until the end of the season, but that is not a feasible position for the club.
The future of Hodgson’s staff and the many out of contract players can’t wait until the the season has finished.
This would be unsatisfactory for all concerned and almost negligent of the board.
I hope the club has already identified, or is in the process of identifying, a replacement and that such individual is/ will be in board with transfer decisions to be made.
Hodgson and the club may be on the same page with his planned departure, but neither believe it’s an opportune time to announce it yet.

Its interesting I think to recognise that if Roy was at Leeds and Bielsa was Palace Manager neither teams would play the same way.

Roy would not have the ability or willingness to play the Leeds way and Bielsa would not be able to execute his philosophy with our current crop of players. Leeds are set up to play their way. He couldnt do it at Palace. I'm not saying Leeds way is the best way to play football but he has a philosophy and vision of how he wants to play. Roy has the same way of thinking just far less imaginative and thinks about the opposition first. Bielsa is achieving this with largely Championship players. We have overpaid, unmotivated, aging players. I can recognise that. He should be doing better, by better I mean playing on the front foot, coaching the players to pass the ball to each other. The other thing is maybe we are underestimating the impact of having so many players and management teams futures undecided which is having a detrimental affect on performance. Maybe internally the players and Manager know its all change the end of the season. The problem I have with Hodgson is his inability to adapt or change. I couldnt care less about his age, that has no bearing on his ability, as long as he is clear of mind thats more than enough for me its just Roy will never change is just too stubborn. I'm disappointed if his last season ends in a drab farewell. I hope hes with us until the season finishes. Then we will join the rollercoaster, leap of faith whatever you want to call it and try to enter a new era. Its a risk. Having said that No Roy and if it was decided Wilf is allowed to move on its going to be very bumpy!

No you weren't just saying that. You were blaming Hodgson for the club's performance in the last 8 transfer windows.

For all his faults, where Palace find themselves now ,with a squad of aging and out of contract players, is not down to Hodgson.

Parish has painted himself into a corner with the way the club is being run. Ultimately he carries the can.
