It's what? Midday on Thursday? So for him to be managing successfully he'll have had a max of 2 training sessions? So that won't happen, you'd imagine.

Only worry will be the bounce; potentially Roy's last game in management, new manager onlooking.

Hopefully we're focused.
 
Crystal Palace are set to sack manager Roy Hodgson, with former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner a strong favourite to take the job.

The Eagles are currently 15th in the Premier League table and are five points above the relegation zone.
Hodgson, 76, took charge of his 200th match as Palace manager earlier this week but his side were beaten 3-1 at Selhurst Park by Chelsea.

Palace face Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Monday.

Hodgson is due to speak to the media on Thursday, but it is not certain whether he will take charge of the match on Merseyside.

Palace have won three league games since their victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in September and have lost 10 of their past 16 top-flight matches.

The former England boss is in his second stint in charge of Palace, having returned for the final 10 games of last season when he signed a short-term deal to take over from Patrick Vieira.

He led the club to 11th in the table before agreeing to continue to manage the side for the 2023-24 campaign.

Supporters have displayed banners in recent weeks calling for Hodgson to be sacked and shared their frustration with how the club is being run.

1.30 pm Palace press conference cancelled. Roy “unwell”. Looks like this is happening now but really no impact for Monday. New guy in the stands, Paddy McCarthy will take the team I guess.

While I don’t wish Roy ill, it’s an absolute disgrace if they are pretending he is as they’re about to sack him. And if he is ill they should perhaps have said nothing knowing no one would believe that given the reports of his imminent sacking.

I think most accept Roy’s time there is over but there’s a right way to go about things.

I could also see it as a bunch of journos hounding an old man who is about to lose his job. Why submit him to it when being ill is a pretty plausible thing to say.
 

No disrespect to Palace at all given the state we are in, but that fella looks like he may have gone somewhere that was set up for proper progress?
