Just Been announced Roy has stepped down

[Jamesy]

Woy has gone at Palace. Best wishes to the guy. Had a decent managerial career.

Last hope new manager bounce doesn't come up to bite us

[fidelcastro]

Just in time for the new manager bounce when we go there on Saturday.

To be fair, it isn’t going to make a lot of difference in the general scheme of things.

Not the best of times to be taking the Micky out of a sick man who has a speech impediment

Maybe, but Palace had been stuttering just lately.

I know it's clutching at straws though.

It wasn’t intended that way as many people refer to him this way. However, I have taken on board what you have said and will try and amend my post.

The new manager bounce isn’t a thing btw.

All the best to Roy.

I hope they go down now, Roy was doing exactly what was expected of him if not more to say hes had his best players injured for most of the season and lost Zaha on a free transfer. I've no doubt that he stepped down as he knew he was about to be sacked

[AlargeClaret]

Oddly there’s no mention verified or factual report of Roy’s hospital stay ,or illness or leaving hospital rather than stand alone “ Roy back home “ etc . I hope the whole thing wasn’t a ruse just to gently drop old Roy ? as it seemed pretty public knowledge a replacement was lined up . Either way you can only wish Roy well , real old school and seems to respected by almost everyone .

Presume they think now hes gone there's very little need to release any medical details about that situation, which is fair enough.
They probably would have had to give a bit more info if he was still manager.

New guy takes over in the morning !!!

Makes a welcome change from “getting sacked in the morning” as far as fan’s chants go.

Not many English football managers speak four foreign languages or read John Updike.

Vincent Kompany speaks 5 foreign languages (reportedly) but know nothing about his bedtime reading.

[Vegas Claret]

good luck to him in his retirement. Won't make a scrap of difference to us

Palace have confirmed that Hodgson is now "out of hospital and doing well".

[Westleigh]

Just realised I can’t as other posts have followed.

Don’t worry about it Jamesy ,it’s not the end of the world Nori criticising a minor demeanour.

That’s the most important news. Good to see he’s back home and improving.

Glasner appointed at Palace

Yes quite possible , as if they were gonna cook something up they surely wouldn’t have gone about it this way . Must say as a team Palace we’re the worst I’d seen them during our “ prem years “

[Berkshireclaret]

I have been wondering if an old head like Roy would be good for Kompany to have assisting us.

Paul Whitehouse as football manager spoke 10 plus Scottish language

Past few games banners have been plenty at Palace games asking for "Hodgson Out" "Taking us backwards" etc.

Tonight at Everton, banners plenty saying "Thank you Roy" "always welcome at the Palace".

Aren't fans fickle.

What a fantastic career Roy has had,managed all over the place,such a pity he was treated appallingly by Palace at the end.
