# Crystal Palace: Fans react to managerial update

**Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to a managerial update provided by transfer guru [Nicolo Schira](https://twitter.com/nicoschira/status/1386829370254319616?s=21) on social media.**

Roy Hodgson’s Eagles [contract expires in a matter of months](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roy-hodgson/profil/trainer/1775) and there have been no real signs he will put pen to paper on a Palace extension.

According to [Schira](https://twitter.com/nicoschira/status/1386829370254319616?s=21), Hodgson could indeed leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season, with Frank Lampard and Patrick Vieira thought to be the club’s two main targets to replace the 73-year-old ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.

Lampard has been out of work following his [sacking by Chelsea in January](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55794158), whereas Vieira has been available since [December after he parted ways with French side Nice](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55187481).

The former Premier League midfielders appear to be high on Palace’s shortlist, however, there is no mention of Eddie Howe, who [reportedly](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-news-howe-sounded-out-by-palace/) spoke to the club earlier this month.

### Palace fans react

As to be expected, [Schira’s Twitter post](https://twitter.com/nicoschira/status/1386829370254319616?s=21) in the early hours of Tuesday morning had plenty of Palace supporters talking.

This is what some had to say in reply, with many not exactly thrilled with the news.
