FANS are convinced Roy Hodgson will be sacked by Crystal Palace and that the troubled club have already decided on his replacement.
The Eagles suffered a damaging 5-0 defeat to Arsenal today and watching from the stands was unemployed boss Graham Potter.
Pressure is mounting on Hodgson, 76, as his side have won just once in their last 11 outings.
They are now just five points off the relegation zone.
And fans voiced their anger at the club with a banner that read: “Wasted potential on and off the pitch. Weak decisions taking us backwards.”
Many supporters believe Hodgson will be sacked before Palace’s next game against Sheffield United on January 30.

And some are confident Potter will take over after his appearance at the Emirates Stadium.
Fans said: “Potter at Arsenal vs Palace – him being the successor to Hodgson sounds logical and right.”
Another speculated: “Potter at the game. New Crystal Palace manager?”
A third wrote: “Hodgson out. Potter in.”

Potter, 48, has not had a job since being sacked by Chelsea in April last year after seven months with the Blues.
The ex-Brighton boss has been in no rush to return to the dugout and is supposedly waiting for the right club.
How much can be read into his appearance at Arsenal is unclear, with the former Malmo chief having been in attendance at Southampton last weekend.
Former Nottingham Forest gaffer Steve Cooper has also been linked with the Palace dugout.
