Sitting 14th in the Premier League, just 5 points above the relegation zone, Palace know they have their work cut out for them. After a huge 5-1 loss to Arsenal and then a 4-1 loss to Brighton last weekend, Hodgson has had to take some stick from the fans, but entering his 48th year in management meant he has been able to brush most of it aside. The question, however, is whether the board will stand by him on his second stint as manager for the club, or whether his 11th place finish and relegation recovery last season is just a distant memory with today\u2019s woes. Having a look at the next Crystal Palace manager odds, there are a few names in the mix, including Kieran McKenna and Bo Svensson, but three names lead the pack, according to the bookies, if a change at the helm was seen as necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
BetVictor, at the time of writing, have three names in the mix to take over the managerial role should Roy get the boot. At the time of writing, in third place, is Julien Lopetegui at 6\/1*, with a \u00a310 bet paying \u00a370. While his time at Wolves was not as fruitful as others, his incredible win rate when managing the Spanish national side and Porto FC are clear signs of his ability to deliver incredible results. In second place sits Graham Potter at 4\/1*, where a \u00a310 wager would return \u00a350 if successful. While he has managed both Brighton and Chelsea in the Premier League before, his record at the former was formidable but the latter saw him achieve Chelsea\u2019s worst points-per-game return of any previous manager, so his appointment at Palace could be an unknown if it happens. In first place, a current favourite with odds of 5\/4*, meaning a \u00a310 bet would return \u00a322.50, is Steve Cooper. Formerly the manager of Nottingham Forest until a run of one win in seventeen games saw him sacked, he is open to a return to management after a spell on the side and has a wealth of Premier League experience and oversaw a Championship promotion to the top division, meaning his desire to succeed cannot be overstated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
