Set to get the sack today apparently.

Everytime a lower prem team like Palace start looking for a new manager I get twitchy that eventually someone is going to realise what a good manager Robins actually is...........

I have a feeling he'd want a bigger club, his pay off from Chelsea was massive so he doesn't need to take a job.

Not sure there would be much interest in him from genuinely bigger clubs. He did well getting Brighton to the next level, but was inept at Chelsea. Emperor's New Clothes

Maybe but as he agreed a 13m quid payoff he can afford to be choosey.

Also the struggles of a good manager like Poch at Chelsea can make people think "maybe it wasn't you after all".

But oddly didn't stay long at either club despite being pretty successful

Robins doesn’t really offer the instant success that Premier League teams seem to crave.

He got Wolsburg back in the Champions League and won the Europa League with Frankfurt.

Missing their two most creative players in Eze and Olise, difficult job to be pitched into.

Lose to Everton on Monday and they’re right in it.

It’s a shame Hodgson is unwell but I would still sack him today. He is to old to be a manager and these illnesses are showing this.

Were you in charge when we sacked Sillett?

He won a trophy less than a month after returning to us and got promotion at the first time of asking

From his 5live interview a while ago I don't think he's interested tbh. Stung by the Huddersfield job.

I think his point is more on the fact his ideology is to treat a club like a project and a longer term piece of work.

The PL is notorious for wanting instant results. We still got relegated the season we won the JPT anyway!

No that was a terrible move. But Hodgson is a busted flush.

I don't think Dumbledore and a set of magic clowns could have saved us in all honesty.

I like Roy - A good manager for a certain style of club, backed up by a friend of mine saying the best years he has had watching The Baggies were his couple of seasons, jobs like England and Liverpool probably a bit too big for him but no shame in that, hope he enjoys a well earned retirement
