'I don't have as much sympathy' - Hodgson on Glasner

Yahoo Sports

[BBC] Former Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says he does not have "as much sympathy maybe as the guy in the street" when it comes to the current Eagles boss Oliver Glasner. On Glasner's frustrations with players being sold, Hodgson told the Wayne Rooney Show: "I think his reward [for winning the FA Cup] is the status and the reputation it has given him. "If you're Crystal Palace - I'm sorry - I'll give you the names of three players: [Michael] Olise certainly is up there with Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard amongst the best players I've ever worked with.

"Marc Guehi is up there with Gerrard, Rooney and John Terry amongst the best players I've ever worked with and there's Eberechi Eze - he's up there too. "Now you're pretty lucky if you come to a club and you've got those players - that is half a chance really. "I accepted in the five years I spent at Crystal Palace that there wasn't money to spend.

He wasn't going to buy many players. If we did produce one as we did with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, he's not going to stay. "I don't have as much sympathy maybe as the guy in the street and don't forget they have spent £150m quite recently on making the squad bigger.

"What amazes me to some extent is, you look at the bench and four or five of the players who have cost a lot of money, that's where they are. We never had that luxury. " Listen to the Wayne Rooney Show
