Crystal Palace have four-man shortlist to replace Roy Hodgson as former Chelsea boss is tipped for the job

Crystal Palace have a four-man shortlist of names who could replace the under-pressure Roy Hodgson, according to reports.

The Eagles were thrashed 5-0 at Arsenal on Saturday, a result that leaves the club 15th in the Premier League and just five points clear of the relegation zone.

They have now won just one of their last 12 games across all competitions, form that has left supporters understandably furious, and those who travelled to the Emirates made their feelings very well-known.

One read: ‘Wasted potential. On and off the pitch, weak decisions. Taking us backwards,’ while another said: ‘No shared vision. No structured plan. Parish out, Yanks out.’

Hodgson was always expected to leave Selhurst Park in the summer anyway, but there is now a lot of pressure on the former England manager to be sacked.

And, according to the Daily Mail, Palace already have four names in mind should they decide to part ways with the 76-year-old who returned to the club just over a year ago to replace the axed Patrick Vieira.
