It made sense. The likes of Southampton and Leeds hardly made inspired changes and Gary O'Neil was a caretaker left in charge for Bournemouth. Time will tell for Leicester but Dean Smith would have been more underwhelming than Dyche even.
Hodgson had a quick impact for Palace, but so did Dyche, Palace only needed those 2-3 wins to pull clear. Lopetegui done well at Wolves from where they were but still a gamble. West Ham and Forest stuck with their managers which might pay off but the fact there was no obvious replacement a factor.
What might save us is other clubs making even worse appointments. Imagine if we'd appointed Nathan Jones or Gracia.
