Read on.

I read your whole post. I still don't know why it would better for British managers to be given more of a chance. Or who would benefit.

In all honesty probably nothing .
I would guess thant it indicates that Palace have someone lined up post season , who is currently coming to the end of their contract, and a stop gap is required.
Obviously complete guess work on my part.

They're after Lamouchi

That was my take as well.

Yankie managers are yesterday's fag paper.
They could've gone for Erik Van Schmidt. Unrivalled record in German and Durch leagues, speaks pigeon English and well-schooled in the art of media presentation.

Coo. I bet he speaks pidgin English too.

He likes his side's to get the ball down on the floor and keep possession.

Since when

I hope they go down.

Something had to be done . I believe it was the right decision. 12 games without a win, up until the Arsenal game , 4 games without scoring. Football is a results business. Views didn’t get any.

So the appointment of a 75-y-o steeped in a tradition of drilling defences and negative defensive football is the way to get the upper hand in modern football?

I don't think Hodgson's appointment tells us anything about the Premier League, but it does tell about the mess Palace find themselves in. They have won just once in their last 17 outings in all competitions and have scored just 5 goals in their last 12 Premier League games. That would get a manager the sack at any level.

It sort of tells me that older styles of football can work in the Premiership - and that newer styles are dependant on the abilities of managers and players.

Cutting edge analysis there.

Zaha is having a poor season by his standards and Palace are seriously short of goals. If Hodgson can get Zaha playing then the goals should come - you wouldn’t expect a Hodgson team to start conceding more goals.

The Premier league is money grabbing corporate bullshit

The only good thing about it is when smaller clubs are in it annoying the spoilt brats

We all know what it is.

It isn't going to change.

The smaller teams don't bother the big boys either, let's be honest.

Leicester won the league then it went back to normal. You'll get the odd season of a team or 2 having a decent go at it like Fulham and Brentford but they often tail off.
