Roy Hodgson may be 76 years old, but he is no football fossil.
The Crystal Palace boss has earned respect in the game for his long and successful career at the highest level.
But time may be running out for the former England manager, who has been given a one-game ultimatum by owner Steve Parish, according to The Guardian (subscription required).
A 5-0 thrashing by Arsenal in their last game was the final nail in the coffin.
Hodgson returned to the club to replace Patrick Vieira, who had failed to win a Premier League game in almost three months and left the Eagles hovering above the relegation zone.
Hodgson turned things around with some brilliant results and performances, but now he faces the same fate as his predecessor.
Palace have nosedived to 15th in the table, only five points clear of the bottom three.

They face a tough test against Sheffield United, who are still rooted to the bottom but have shown signs of improvement. If Hodgson fails to secure a win, Parish may be forced to show him the door.
