# Crystal Palace: Fans react as they receive positive news about Roy Hodgson

**A lot of Crystal Palace fans are happy to see a positive update surrounding Roy Hogdson, as it is understood the club are confident that he will be able to manage the team when football resumes this season, according to the [Irish Times](https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/crystal-palace-confident-roy-hodgson-can-carry-on-managing-when-football-restarts-1.4239050https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/crystal-palace-confident-roy-hodgson-can-carry-on-managing-when-football-restarts-1.4239050).**

Sport across the globe has been postponed due to recent events, which has left many uncertain as to whether the current season football clubs are in will be able to be completed without affecting future campaigns.

Due to Hodgson’s age, (72), it has been feared by all associated with the club that the former England manager, via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roy-hodgson/profil/trainer/1775), would not be able to manage the team, so it is positive to hear that the club are confident that this is not the case. One fan was definitely happy with the update as they said: “Great news.”

The Premier League stopped just when Palace were finding form, as they had just won their last three fixtures in a row against Brighton, Watford, and Newcastle United, via [Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/6/Crystal-Palace/overview), and all had been 1-0 victories. These results had pushed the club away from any relegation fears, and placed them 11th in the table, only six points off Manchester United in fifth, via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table).

Here is what they had to say following the update:
