# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Roy Hodgson’s West Brom links

**West Brom have identified Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson as a possible successor to Sam Allardyce, according to [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/14846052/lionel-messi-man-city-transfer-news-live-zidane-real-madrid/).**

As to be expected, a number of Eagles fans have been giving their thoughts to the link on social media.

Hodgson’s Selhurst Park deal [expires in a matter of weeks](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roy-hodgson/profil/trainer/1775), with Palace [expected to part ways with the 73-year-old](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-roy-hodgson-exit-manager-farewell-arsenal-b935128.html) at the end of the current campaign.

According to [The Sun (14th May 22:39)](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/14846052/lionel-messi-man-city-transfer-news-live-zidane-real-madrid/), Hodgson has no intention of retiring from management. They claimed that, if Allardyce quits The Hawthorns, the Baggies have already placed Hodgson on their radar as a potential successor.

Hodgson spent [15 months](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roy-hodgson/stationen/trainer/1775) as West Brom boss before taking the England job in 2012, and a return to the Midlands could well be on the cards.
