I haven't thought too much about Roy going so haven't paid too much attention to his thread. However, if we lose today that will be 5 successive defeats with Man U and Spurs to come at home and Wolves away. These are all potentially games that we could get something, even if it is only a draw. If we lose 8 games in a row I feel that should be the end for Roy. We and Roy need some results between now and the end of the season

Hodgson has now secured our survival in the PL for three seasons with a very limited transfer spend. He has been offered and has accepted an extension to his contract, accordingly I am in a state of bewilderment as to why there is even any debate about him not being at the helm next season.

2-0 Villa. Still bewildered?

Time for a change.
To be fair to Roy he's hardly been supported in the transfer windows but i feel we need a change.

Oh, yes, after the Villa loss and the games we have left, we will be the first ever Permier League team to finish a season with 8 defeats (not even Derbys 11 point team “managed” that.

How on earth should anyone believe that the oldest team
in the PL should be able to change that with the oldest manager next season?

You may think what you want but he explained to you what the reality is and what will happen. Like it or not...

Forgive me if the level my grammar is not at the level you expect, I'm not a native speaker. But I'm totally sure you got what I mean

Roys the only manager to keep us in the Premier for 3 seasons, a bigger achievement with minimal investment in the team.
Fulham spent £100m went down
Villa spent £150m probably will go down.

He has been backed by the grand sum of a Net Spend of £8 Mill over the last 3 seasons.

ITS A YES FROM ME - No one will keep this squad up next season. Now is the time to Change the manager so as to get us back or become a decent championship side the season after next. Otherwise Hodgson will take this old age squad down, we will get a new manager in and probably fall out the championship as well. We need rebuilding from now not after going down next season :-(

 

PatrickA Flag London 12 Jul 20 4.24pm

Pulis, Pardew and Allardyce weren't at the club for 3 seasons so had no opportunity to keep them up for such period.
I would be delighted if this would Hodgson's last game as Palace manager but no doubt plenty will dismiss this as a knee jerk reaction.
Everything that's wrong about his management was on display in that game

Great but he has clearly lost the plot. It will an impossibility to avoid relegation next season with the present team. Atrocious.

The Blades and Burnley have shown it can be done.

 


I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

7 seasons and around £1bn...this is Parish’s mess so he needs to sort this s*** out, unfortunately he’s out of his depth running a football club ....

 

HesHereHesThere Flag Beckenham 12 Jul 20 4.30pm

Leicester, Wolves, Sheffield Utd and Burnley are showing us up at the moment...Parish needs to take a leaf out of their books.

Well I think we have to decide what we want. A team that is ultimately a reflection of the coach (undisputedly decent as he may be) cautious and steady or on the front foot and dynamic.
No way of dressing up the last performances against Burnley and villa as anything other than garbage. But the fact that we went into both in a predictably defensive approach rather than getting on the front foot is an indication of what we got! Yes we need a good clear out and Yes we have limited options due to injuries and poor decisions to let players out on loan when we have limited options - but we need to be getting more from the players we have. When we’ve been poor - why not play Meyer, Jairo, Pierrick?

I would thank Roy for the job he’s done and go all out for Dyche or even Howe.

All good things come to a natural end - for my money we are at that point with regards Roy..

Yep he’s done brilliantly on a very limited budget.

Let’s be honest given our activity - or lack of it in last seasons summer/winter transfer windows - many of us were fearing the worst for this season - except Willo of course he was simply seeing/hoping his prediction may come good/true at last..!

But despite all that and having no capable/adequate replacement for AWB, Zaha having a very average season, untold injuries in central defense and no goal scoring forward - Roy and Ray have defied the odds and kept us up comfortably.

But I do think now is the time for change - Personally and no -one has mentioned him I’d take a look at Thomas Frank, if Brentford don’t go up - worked miracles on a very limited budget at a hitherto now unfashionable club.

To refer to a net spend of only £8m does not present a true reflection of the situation.
While I agree Hodgson has not been properly backed he inherited a squad including Benteke, Sakho, Cabaye, Luka, Townsend, PVA, Schlupp that cost in excess of £100m and also had people like Zaha and AWB to call upon.
Hodgson has one way of playing and most opposition managers have found him out.
People will try and defend the indefensible but I won’t be one of them.

No, nor shall I.

Also blowing sunshine up Wilf backside every week when he’s been a shadow of his former self is not getting the best out of him . We can drop him and change our formation from time to time! Things need a good shake up and some tough decisions need to be taken imo!
