Premier League manager hot seat rankings 6. Roy Hodgson

Roy Hodgson entered the season as the old face ready to meet the axe of time. Instead, the 72-year-old began by defying the grandfather clock, soaring into the top-six. A run of worse tidings followed as defeats began to pile up, and while consecutive wins have Palace back in the top half, Hodgson has neither the positive brand of football nor particularly strong tie to the club of others in similar boats elsewhere. A more extended slide and Palace could just look to move on.
