Coach Hodgson, a veteran coach who has experienced many hardships, has also lost public support. Britain's 'Talk Sports' reported, "A Palace fan threw a water bottle at Coach Hodgson after the loss to Bournemouth. Coach Hodges returned to Palace in March in place of Manager Patrick Vieira and led them out of the relegation zone. However, since the start of the new season, he has only scored three goals. “We can only win one turn,” he pointed out.

Hodgson's career has continued since his directorial debut in 1976 to the present day. He has managed numerous teams including Inter Milan, Udinese, Liverpool, West Bromwich, England national team, Watford and even Palace. Coach Hodgson, now 76 years old, was pushed to the edge. If this continues, he could become the second PL player to be sacked this season, following manager Paul Heckingbottom, who was sacked at Sheffield United. Palace are scheduled to face Liverpool in the next round.
