I wholeheartedly concur with these sentiments. Gareth is grace and humility personified.

My perception is that Harris and Blitzer back Parish's recommendations and that Textor has an independent view.

It's difficult to assess for sure.
It has been suggested that the American owners wanted Pardew removed before Parish eventually came around to their way of thinking.
Parish himself has acknowledged that Pardew could have left before his eventual departure given the decline in results and performances.
Parish is day to day CEO and is obviously more 'hands on' than the other owners.
However, Parish himself has said that all owners have to sign off on key decisions.
It seems likely that hiring and firing managers would be amongst them, in particular when considering the financial implications.

With regard to Hodgson he has called for some perspetive around the rumours surrounding his future.
He said the bad results v Luton and Everton heaped pressure on the subsequent games against Liverpool, Manchester City, Brighton and Chelsea which were seen as more difficult games potentially leading to a lengthy winless run.
Having beaten Brentford the rumours then move on to another manager encountering difficult results Hodgson suggested.
Eddie Howe seems to be the current fall guy despite his overall good record.
That's the nature of the game.
Pep himself has said any manager is only 6 bad results from the sack.

I would like to see Hodgson go (if there is a suitable available
replacement) because I believe he is holding the players back and not allowing their full potential to be realised.
It doesn't mean I'm correct, and plenty on here will disagree with this opinion.

As I’ve posted before, when Roy was re-appointed did anyone not know what they were getting ? All the same old complaints about him being rolled out every week is getting as tedious as some of the football has been this season.

I’ve always supported Hodgson when manager at Palace but I didn’t want him to return this season. But he did and we are where we are. Some of the criticism levelled at him is valid and some of it, in my opinion, isn’t.

The wretched, winless run is over largely on the back of Eze and Olise making a rare start together. But of course in some people’s eyes it was only due to the fact that Brentford had a number of injuries. You know, the same as Palace have had most of the season.

Sure, it’s a results business. If Roy gets sacked on the back of continuing poor results then that’s all part of football. But I don’t advocate parting company with him at this point just as performances have improved, players have returned from injury and the transfer window is now open. Certainly not if it’s to make way for Cooper.

As for the spotlight moving onto other managers, Frank would seem to have the most to worry about, but I understand Brentford have no intention of parting company with him. As for Howe, the Newcastle ownership will surely look to eventually appoint an ‘ elite ‘ coach who in turn can attract elite players to their club. I think that scenario was always on the cards.

Totally agree. Two of their better players, Mee and Henry would have made life much more difficult for Mateta and Olise

I would honestly be shocked if Harris and Blitzer could name three players in our squad. Maybe even one. They're absentee owners of many sports teams in the US, and show very little interest in any of them. Their new novelty is English football, and they always have one eye out to leave us and buy into a bigger club.

I think ownership is just an ego trip for them, or maybe they wring some cash out here and there. I'm not sure what their angle is, but I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.

I don't trust Textor either. He at least shows some interest in football, which may be a positive or negative for us. He also seems like he enjoys collecting clubs all over the world to feed his ego.

Best case is Parish makes all the decisions, and the others just pony up cash when asked.
