Crystal Palace: Fans react to Roy Hodgson update
Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to an update on social media regarding the future of manager Roy Hodgson.
According to the Evening Standard, the Eagles are prepared to announce the 73-year-old’s departure earlier than expected so that fans can pay tribute to the manager at their final home game against Arsenal next week.
Hodgson, who has been in charge at Selhurst Park since 2017, has met with chairman Steve Parish over a potential new deal, but a fresh contract is yet to be agreed, making his departure seem likely.
The report namechecks three managers who could possibly take over from Hodgson. Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is thought to be keen on a return to the dugout, with Burnley’s Sean Dyche and Swansea City’s Steve Cooper the others who were mentioned.
Should Palace get rid of Hodgson this summer?
Yes
No
