5 reasons why Crystal Palace's fortunes will turn around soon

#1 Roy Hodgson has unrivalled experience

Roy Hodgson has never been relegated as a manager

Ever since his stint as England manager, Roy Hodgson’s name has been met with much disrespect by the footballing public. But we should never forget that Roy Hodgson has been at the helm of some of the most iconic clubs on the planet. He’s managed both Liverpool and Inter Milan, managed the biggest teams in Switzerland and Sweden and took Fulham to new heights.

The 69-year old understands the demands of the world’s most watched league and this isn’t a situation that will keep him up at night. He knows what it takes to deliver on the biggest of stages, with unprecedented amounts of pressure.

In his managerial career, Roy Hodgson has managed 1,053 games with 19 clubs, winning 8 trophies in the meantime. Crystal Palace isn’t his toughest challenge yet, but it may be his most satisfying to overcome.
