Ian Wright believes that Roy Hodgson is a good managerial appointment for former club Crystal Palace.
Palace sacked Frank De Boer after the Dutchman was allowed only four matches at the helm of the club and former England national team boss Hodgson has now been appointed as his replacement at Selhurst Park.
Former Palace star Wright is happy with the appointment of Hodgson and told BBC Radio 5 Live: "You hope that's the right decision. It's a different Palace now, they're paying £100k a week - they have to stay in this league.
"People are talking about Hodgson's age. But he's got a love and passion for the game. Of course he's not going there for the next 10 or 15 years. But he's steady, reliable, can get the dressing room going again and get some results.
"I think it's quite a good decision to get someone steady. The next few games are difficult. You need someone with experience, who won't panic. The next month will be a rough period for Palace.
"I don't think the continuous changing of managers and the way they've played is doing Palace any good.
"The only massive change [for the better] are the fans - they've gone to a different level. That should be enough to inspire the players, even if they don't like the manager. The players have to look at themselves."
