Crystal Palace boss Hodgson insists no contact about position

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson insists no-one has spoken to him about his position.

Hodgson is under huge pressure ahead of Monday's clash with Chelsea.

“I just put that completely to one side," Hodgson said. “No-one at the club, I have not heard anything to that extent from the chairman (Steve Parish) or sporting director (Dougie Freedman).

“I have no idea what their thoughts are or plans are. I will wait for them maybe to one day let me know.

“I don't think at the moment I need to concern myself with the speculation on the outside as it seems to be that is always going on somewhere. Ten Hag was under enormous (scrutiny), Mauricio Pochettino was under enormous criticism recently, even Eddie Howe, people were talking and names circulating.

“The future will take care of itself and it will be nice if the job here ends (as nicely) as it did when I stopped four years ago. That will be great. Maybe it will, maybe it won't."
