Lampard was one of our most likeable managers we have had since Moyes but results weren’t good enough. You can be a really good person/have a good relationship with everyone but it is results that matter…
Yes of course, but you need some kind of rationale why the manager is the problem, and what you get by exchanging him with someone else. And there is none. That is, there's the "need some fresh ideas" thing, but that is then immediately ridiculed by their intention of turning to Roy Hodgson, surely the obvious exact opposite of "fresh ideas".
Anyway, Palace's results hardly provide an obvious rationale for sacking Vieira. They're 12th, and season taken as a whole they have if anything overachieved, given that they arguably have a weaker squad than they did last year. Also, one that imposes some hefty limitations on the possibility to implement the sort of style Vieira wants to play, he has practically no creativity in central midfield or from the FBs. True, they haven't won since new year's eve, but then that's not really surprising given the opposition they've faced. They've not had a single fixture this year that you could reasonably expect them to win.
In short; sacking Vieira doesn't seem very well-considered to me, and replacing him with Hodgson seems downright stupid.
