My sauces said he started a beef with Palace by saying "the only good thing that has ever happened to this club is Crystanbul and your abbreviation looks like shit, now CRY" once Klopp phoned him about the decision to resign. Woy to Livepool is inevitable.
Roy Hodgson | #OpenToWork
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Smacks of him trying to save his job. It seemed to try and deflect blame off himself too and indicate well "if someone had told me he'd do his hamstring obviously i wouldn't have put him on". Well Roy he was carrying an injury, then you started him, he scored twice and then went off injured. Was still carrying it hence why you had him on the bench, and then you threw him on when the game was looking dire - and you're surprised he had to come off because it's made it worse?
Honestly this needs to happen today, Selhurst is a powder keg just waiting to go off. Was just reading his comments on Wharton’s debut and even those have annoyed me…
Roy Hodgson said of Wharton: “He showed why we’ve bought him. It was a baptism of fire. He lost the ball in midfield trying to turn with it which led to a third goal, but apart from that, the rest of his performance was good I thought, and he will get better.”
Lad signed two days ago, was thrown on due to an injury when we were already losing away at our biggest rival, and is 19 years old. Was one of the few trying to make things happen. Where is the need to dig him out about the goal in public? Meanwhile Jeff Schlupp waddles up and down the left flank being statistically the worst winger in Europe and starts every game.

That’s all it was, a selfish gamble from a desperate man trying to save his own skin. Texted my Dad at half time and said if he brings Olise on and he gets injured I’m going to explode…
ah, like the good times of peak premier league world domination
Palace is a bit like the dreadful Villa team of a decade ago. That was Benteke upfront with a couple of runners in Agbonlahor and Weimann and then endless average defenders and midfielders who are workaholics but have very little quality on the ball.
You could throw a blanket over all of Lerma, Hughes, Schlupp, Richards (who will probably go back to CB more now with the Guehi injury).
Right back has been another massively weak area for a long time, not sure how Munoz looked.
Palace could easily still go down with Luton's dramatic improvement and Everton possibly getting four points back on appeal so they need to do something as this is much worse than what Vieira was producing in his final few weeks.
Nobody wants the job apparently, what a sh*tshow.

Sacking Viera was nuts
He's painted as this elder statesman of the league, like some nice grandad, when he's really not.
Very sour and there is a reason he went to very weak leagues for management experience.
He's a knobhead who go found out when he tried to go up a level at Liverpool and got marched out of town in less than a year.

Even worse was there was no long term plan at all after doing it.
Remember Palace were a yo-yo club for many years. Also a very nothing club, with no identity and a horrendous fan base.
You've made me go and find that YT of when Harry Redknapp slated Rob Palmer for calling him a "wheeler-dealer" now!
All managers have that sort of interview once a season and it has to get cut out if it's going live.
The sack must come, but probably not until season’s end.
Boring and incorrect narrative that, it was the correct decision, Vieira was cooked. Short memories but he wasn’t even playing the Eze that a lot on here seem to want to sign for Man Utd. We didn’t have a shot in 3 games and by the end he wasn’t even picking up Steve Parish’s calls. There was no way back, mentally he’d checked out.
Bringing Roy back to finish the season was also the right call in hindsight (as angry as I was at the time).
The catastrophic mistake was giving him another year, we should have parted ways in the summer.

Mutual Agreement, I don’t think they do him the indignity of one final sacking.
Horrendous fan base? Predominantly local supporters who love their club, know exactly what we are and just want a team we can be proud of.
Most of the Utd fans I know have never even been to Old Trafford mate.
Hooligans mate, doesn't matter what postcode they are from.
Hooligans? Most London clubs call us ‘The Nigels’…Millwall we aren’t.
Yeah, not sure where that was coming from. Of all the London clubs, I have an affinity for two of them. Fulham and Palace. I feel like I will always owe Palace for one of the best schadenfreude moments of my life with that comeback over Liverpool.
Viera wasn’t exactly covering himself in glory though. Was allowed to spend a lot of money by the clubs standards but couldn’t improve in his predecessors. I think Cooper would be a good shout in the summer.
I thought Vieira was their manager..?! When did he leave?
Palace fans I've met
Yeah course
Always the way… “my mate who’s a United fan has never been to OT”..Like it’s so difficult to get to Old Trafford and watch a game.
Every United fan I know personally isn’t from Manchester and 95% of them have been to Old Trafford.
I've no problem with Palace. I don't know why on earth Hodgson took you into this season.
Looks like Woy will be wed his wights
I’ll be honest there isn’t much love for Utd from the Palace side but maybe you just got unlucky with who you met…there is some history to it (http://tdifh.blogspot.com/2014/04/9-april-1995-dark-day-in-fa-cup.html). The majority of us are far from hooligans that’s for sure.
This is partly true.
Only ever seen a large group of away fans ‘kicking off’ at football matches in the recent past a handful of times - must be a coincidence that every time it has been palace fans.
A lot of young fans trying to make a name for themselves presumably but they’ve been to Old Trafford (twice) and the Etihad (once) in the last 4/5 years when I’ve been there in some capacity and I’ve seen then trying to fight everyone and anyone
Also, were a global club. Never understood bragging that you're a local club and only the people from the street your stadium is on attend the games.Yeah course

Same can be said for a county team ffs.
It’s not a brag, it’s simply a fact that a majority of United supporters of a similar age and area to me support Utd because they won a lot.
Anyway this thread is about Roy Hodgson and the Manager situation, if you don’t like Palace then feel free to jog along to another thread mate, it’s not relevant.

Yeah I want to find that thread as my OH supports Palace. However she actually worked in the marketing team at Brighton for 18 months...know anyone with that profile Shipps?!
Bit surprised he hasn't gone today... Losing 4-1 to your rivals after your already under pressure from the fans feels like final nail in the coffin type stuff
How is he still there?
How does he always manage to win at old trafford
Not sure if I want him to be sacked for our game or not.
Wonder who he'll blame for this one.
They're still 5 pts clear of relegation. Everton, Burnley and Luton 3 winnable games in the next 5. He'll see them over the line and they'll probably end up being relegated next season anyway.
Hopefully himself. Negative again.
Luton and Everton will probably beat them.
Palace could also beat Spurs and Newcastle.
They need about 16 pts from 14 games to stay up. 3/4 wins and a few draws and they'll be fine.
