77 days and four league games after becoming Crystal Palace boss, Frank de Boer is out of a job.
Palace have lost all of their league games so far this season, the latest being a 1-0 defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon. This is enough for the powers that be at Selhurst Park to bring about a managerial change.
With De Boer gone, numerous reports have claimed that Palace have already lined up his replacement: former England boss, Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson, now 70, has been out of the game since overseeing England’s embarrassing Euro 2016 departure at the hands of Iceland next summer. Sky Sports claim that he will be confirmed as the new Palace boss within the next 24 hours.
If this proves to be correct, it will be the first time Hodgson has managed a club since he left West Brom to take the national team job in 2012.
Their decision to offer the job to Hodgson (especially so early into the new season) has been met with plenty of criticism from football fans…
I should be considered before Woy Hodgson as palace manager shite appointment

Wanted a new style of play, gave it four games then reverted to their tried and tested with Hodgson. Hope they go down now.
