When contacted by the PA news agency on Friday morning, Palace said there was no further update on the situation, with any news expected to come via the club’s own channels. Friday was understood to be a scheduled rest day for the Palace squad ahead of the trip to Merseyside. Veteran boss Hodgson received plenty of support from his Premier League teammates. The news of Hodgson’s latest health scare coincided with reports Palace were set to sack him, with former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner a strong favourite to take over.
At the West Ham press conference on Friday afternoon, manager David Moyes stated, “I am hoping that is the case because I am hearing he is fine.”Roy is a football fan, and his longevity has been remarkable. However, I have always stated that I’m not sure whether I want to be working at his age.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, who is leading his team and defeated Palace 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium in January, is aware of the demands that come with being a manager at both ends of the table.
