Yes and pushed him on to Brighton because he wouldn't run around enough for him.

Sadly, I suffer more watching it at home on my own than I do being at Selhurst. There is no way Hodgson would have survived with a Selhurst crowd after the ending to last season and how we have capitulated in games this season or even in games where we have been awful but still picked up points? It has been dreadful watching us play for a long time now. I’m at a point as I was when Mullery was our manager many, many years ago of not wanting to watch Palace anymore. Then I could find something else to do but in Covid times it’s not so easy :-(

Ha ha ha ... we didn't win today and looked every bit as comatose as we ended last season.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Is that his only target? How do you know? Time will tell on that anyway - we are a long way from the end of the season.

Roy and I are of a similar age and it is logical to think that his mind will be more reflective than forward looking.
That is not to say I am averse to new ideas but I feel that some time we have to admit that a younger man can do a better job. We need a fresh approach.

Thank you Roy, you were just what we needed when you arrived and since.
It is time for change. Like your own players when they do not fit the present situation they have to go.

(Like Meyer, big mistake in my opinion to allow him to go. Compare him with our current creative midfield dross.)

Thank goodness for Covid - at least I don't have to travel 2 hours each way to Selhurst just to tear my hair out in frustration.

Just like the team and the manager, time is catching up with me and I have probably bought my last season ticket.

My wallet is sending a message to the board, and frankly, the board needs to take an interest my decision.

Some people on here make me thankful they don't run the club. We'd be nowhere near the standard we are today as an established Premier League club if they were.

As frustrating as Roy can be, what are you expecting - exactly? Consistent top half finishes challenging for Europe? Great! Well we're gonna need to spend a tiny bit more than a 5er every 3 seasons to achieve that.

Until then, Roy Hodgson will have kept us comfortably up 4 years on the spin. And trust me, with Scott Dann as a regular starter - that is some achievement.

We're the Arthur over ere!

I agree with those who think it is a good time to make a change, it will give a new man time to bed in for next year and see for himself how weak we are in key positions. We are still (god knows how) 14pts above the bottom 3 this SHOULD take some pressure off any new appointment, also it would give us an opportunity to see if they are a good fit for us with a possibilty of making another change in the summer if the appointment goes badly. I still think in the future when we look back at Roys tenure it will be largely viewed as a success over all but for now his time has come.

One of the biggest mysteries in life is that loud stupid people normally don't have even the slightest inclination that they are stupid.

The issue for me is Roy thinks he is on par with Alex Ferguson etc. He’s said it himself.

The reality is he is by and large a one trick pony. That one trick has a shelf life.

He did the same with England, steadied the ship and fixed the issues but progression isn’t his strength.

He isn’t the manager to oversee and overhaul. His tactics work with older professionals, but that’s our issue - an aging squad.
