Roy Hodgson under mounting pressure at Crystal Palace with Cooper in frame

It is understood that Hodgson is facing increasing scrutiny from the club’s chairman, Steve Parish, after the team’s plummet down the table in recent weeks.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson's position at the club is in doubt after recent performances.

Roy Hodgson’s position as Crystal Palace manager is under mounting pressure after eight games without a win, with Steve Cooper in the frame to replace the former England manager following his sacking by Nottingham Forest earlier this month.

It is understood that Hodgson, who was seen spitting on the ground in frustration as he made his way down the tunnel after Palace conceded a late penalty to lose at Chelsea on Wednesday, is facing increasing scrutiny from the club’s chairman, Steve Parish, after the team’s plummet down the table in recent weeks. Palace are only three points clear of Luton in the relegation zone, and Rob Edwards’s side have played a game fewer.
