Wolves and Villa the biggest winners, Chelsea and Spurs the biggest losers.

This from The Athletic? Feels like a bit of a crude way of looking at it. Some sort of graph charting rolling five game form or something might offer a more accurate picture. Alas...

You don’t know what you are talking about. You cant see beyond your Hodgson hatred.
Viera had lost the plot. 12 games without a win - including defeats by forest, fulham and southampton.

Yeah. I don't get it. I know some Palace fans will claim they needed it, but they were never going down. I think Vieira likely would have achieved a similar points total and they could have made a decision at season's end. The only surprise at the time was that they battered Leeds, which with hindsight was pretty much par for the course, because loads of other sides did as well when Gracia was in charge.
Fortneef:
Viera’s sacking divides people into two camps: those who think Viera should have stayed, and those who’ve actually watched Palace.

One of my mates is a massive Palace fan, so they're always a club I look out for and watch when I get the chance. They were in no danger of going down and I have no doubt in my mind Vieira would have got a similar, if not better, return from the games Hodgson was in place for. It screams of short-term decision making and they'll now be looking for a new manager to start it all again
