Hodgson anticipating serious investment

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has said that he is anticipating serious investment from the club after failing to make any high-profile signings over the past few years. The Eagles have managed to remain a mid-table club since their promotion to the top-flight seven years ago, but they have not quite made the push for a top half of the table finish.

The south London outfit have fared impressively this term where they currently lie ninth on the table and Hodgson is hoping to be backed with funds to spend in the summer transfer market, he told: “The investment that we’ve been able to do in the last few years hasn’t been as big or extensive as anyone at the club would have liked. I’m hoping that now once we get going we’ll be sitting down and talking very seriously about the type of players who are on the market and the type of players we would like to attract to the club.” Continue reading “Hodgson anticipating serious investment”

Crystal Palace legend fancies new contract for Roy Hodgson

Crystal Palace legend Dean Gordon believes Roy Hodgson deserves a new contract with the south London outfit. The Eagles have experienced another solid season in the Premier League and they appear on course to beat the drop with one-third of the campaign left. As a result, Hodgson has earned plenty of praise from the fans and Gordon feels the veteran should be handed with another renewed contract for his efforts.

He told LoveSportRadio: “I think he’s done well. I think he’s done fantastic since he’s came in. Keeping them up year in year out. I think they’re probably safe now this season. I think he’s done a fantastic job. I think he does deserve a new contract. Maybe they’re not playing the best football but sometimes getting the result is what it’s all about. I saw the game at the weekend where Brighton played really well, and ended up losing the game. So I think the fans would prefer that they stay up instead of seeing great football.”

Roy Hodgson insists Crystal Palace have not been playing badly

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has insisted that his team have not been playing badly and have not been rewarded for the performances on the playing field.

I don’t think we’ve been in bad form or played poorly in recent games, so it was important for me to keep the players believing that you don’t necessarily equate form with results. There are teams in this league, probably certainly, not just on paper but on the field of play that do have a better chance of beating you with their resources and the quality of their players.”
