Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson taken Ill amidst sack rumors and cancels news conference

The 76-year-old tactician, revered for his extensive managerial career, found himself under the weather during Thursday's training session, prompting the club to call off a scheduled news conference. 

Amidst whispers of Hodgson's potential sacking due to Palace's precarious position in the Premier League, the football community is abuzz with anticipation and concern.

Palace, currently sitting 15th in the league and merely five points above the relegation fray, witnessed Hodgson's health episode against a backdrop of intense scrutiny over his leadership. 

Despite guiding the team in over 200 matches, a recent dip in form has seen the Eagles notch only three wins since a notable triumph against Manchester United in September, suffering 10 losses in their last 16 matches.

As fans voice their dissatisfaction, highlighted by their reaction to Hodgson's tactical decisions in recent matches, the spotlight turns to Oliver Glasner. 

The former Eintracht Frankfurt mastermind, celebrated for clinching the Europa League and steering his team into the Champions League knockout stages, emerges as a frontrunner to take the reins at Palace.

Hodgson's storied tenure, marked by a return engagement to salvage Palace's last season and a subsequent extension, now teeters on the edge as calls for change grow louder. 

With a critical clash against Everton looming, Palace's direction remains uncertain, casting a shadow over Hodgson's legacy and the club's immediate future.
