Roy Hodgson

Roy Hodgson has made a remarkable return to Crystal Palace, answering the club's S.O.S. call as they look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

"I would like to welcome Roy and Ray back to the club,” Parish added. "Our sole objective now is to start winning matches, and to get the points necessary to ensure our Premier League status. “It is a privilege to be asked to return to the club, which has always meant so much to me, and to be given the important task of turning the team’s fortunes around,” Hodgson said.

Hodgson, who was in charge of the Eagles between 2017 and 2021, will be assisted by Paddy McCarthy, with Ray Lewington returning as first-team coach.

“We are obviously in a very challenging period but we believe that Roy’s and Ray’s experience, knowledge of the club and players, alongside Paddy can help fulfil the immediate requirement of keeping us in the league.” “Crystal Palace is known for its fighting spirit, and I have no doubt that all our supporters will fight with us, beginning with the visit of Leicester City a week Saturday.” “Our sole objective now is to start winning matches, and to get the points necessary to ensure our Premier League status.

Former England head coach returns at the age of 75 for a second spell at Selhurst Park with 10 games left to banish threat of relegation.

SMS Message: I've said it once and I'll say it again - replacing Vieira with Hodgson is a backwards step, and noticing more than a lazy appointment by the board who obviously don't want the club to progress. Yes, many of them need replacing, but it is he who insists upon a style without a creative player in the squad, and a rigid formation with three at the back. He was always going to go at the end of the season anyway, but it now feels it could be far sooner. He has attempted to protect his own reputation while throwing the players under the bus. It could be argued that there is a lot more talent in this current Palace squad than the one Hodgson left in 2021. Some of the points he raised are valid and appreciated by sections of the support - but, ultimately, Spurs have gone backwards this season. While the ownership remains as is, a boss in Pochettino's vein appears the more suitable option. Getting Wilfried Zaha scoring again will be Hodgson's biggest target, with the Eagles' hopes of staying in the top flight heavily reliant on their talisman. Turn up - there's no car parking space, there's no changing room, there's a cold cup of tea, it's pouring down with rain, the pitches are in poor condition, every player is looking to pull one over on you.

The 75-year-old's return may not be popular with supporters, but it's what chairman Steve Parish feels is required to avoid relegation.

“He is the only Palace manager to secure four years in the Premier League and he has helped give us stability in the most turbulent of times.” The task for Hodgson and his trusted lieutenant Ray Lewington, who has worked alongside him at Fulham, England, Palace and Watford, is to put those to one side and reunite a splintered fanbase in shock at the sacking of Vieira. But, for now, Palace’s fortunes are in a more familiar pair of hands. He also inherits a squad seriously lacking in confidence after failing to win a match this year. “Unfortunately, they [Palace] continue to suffer a bit from problems like scoring goals,” Hodgson said. “His record with us simply cannot be overstated,” the Palace chairman said.

Premier League clubs who panic have a habit of making ultra-conservative choices, but this one beggars belief.

I don't think I shall be putting my name forward anymore for further sorties in the world of Premier League football. Three out of the following five games were lost, however, Palace played both Liverpool and Manchester City in that difficult run. It showed as well that we need to improve and there are still a lot of things to improve to turn those performances into a win.” I was quite happy with the performances of the last couple of games we played. That is the frustration. “The Premier League, when you look at the table, has been challenging and tough.
