Crystal Palace have confirmed that Roy Hodgson has signed a new contract to extend his deal at Selhurst Park until the end of the 2020/21 season.

The former England boss has steadied the ship well in South London and arguably overachieved given the resources he has been given in recent seasons, though not all Palace fans will share that view.

It is an interesting development give Hodgson spoke just a month ago about needing more assurances over the money he would get to spend if he did stay on, indicating that he was unhappy with how he was backed in January and possibly last summer too.

As a result, it may be possible that Steve Parish and the board have made certain promises regarding transfers, and that could allow Hodgson to install a more postive and expansive style.

Some supporters have grown frustrated with his negative tactics since taking over in 2017, and have expressed their displeasure at the fact the 72-year-old will be staying for another year.

The reactions shown above aren't fully representative of fan sentiment, however, with many appreciating the good work Hodgson has done so far, and think more good things will come during his tenure.

Giving Hodgson greater muscle in the transfer market could make that possible, as he has already got the best out of cheap signings like Jordan Ayew and Gary Cahill, with the former scoring seven goals this term and Cahill contributing to a defence that has conceded only 23 goals in the 19 league games he has featured in.
