One other loss for Crystal Palace – this time in opposition to Chelsea – introduced one other cacophony of boos at full-time at Selhurst Park on Monday.
Regardless of taking the lead in opposition to the Blues due to a beautiful Jefferson Lerma strike, the Eagles have been unable to carry on and, finally, succumbed 3-1 to their West London opponents.
Their slide beneath Roy Hodgson this season has been nothing wanting exceptional.
Regardless of having the likes of Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi to name upon, Palace have gained simply two of their final 15 video games in all competitions, per WhoScored.
It’s seen them slide down the Premier League desk, and their present fifteenth place sees them simply 5 factors above the underside three.
While FFP penalties to each Everton and Nottingham Forest may but save them, the South Londoners can’t depend on assist from elsewhere to maintain them from the relegation lure door.
With that in thoughts, Palace chairman, Steve Parish, already has two names within the body to take over from the 76-year-old Hodgson.
“Ipswich City’s highly-rated supervisor, Kieran McKenna, is a concrete goal for Crystal Palace, the identical as Oliver Glasner,” Fabrizio Romano mentioned in his unique Day by day Briefing for CaughtOffside.
“Each are on the membership’s listing to interchange Roy Hodgson, however I’m not conscious of concrete contacts with Julen Lopetegui to this point.
“It’s not simple for Glasner and particularly McKenna, as each have many golf equipment asking for his or her companies – however the curiosity from Palace is concrete.”
Provided that McKenna is within the midst of a promotion battle with Ipswich City, it’s troublesome to see how Parish would be capable of prise him at this stage of the marketing campaign.
The query that the chairman actually must be asking himself is whether or not he can enable Hodgson to see out the present season earlier than making a clear break in the summertime.
