Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has opened up about his short-term future.

The veteran, who is the oldest manager in the Premier League, is in danger of losing his job in the coming weeks.

Hodgson was asked by reporters about whether he had spoken to the club about whether he would stay on until the end of the season.

He stated in response: "No, the chairman and I talk all the time but there has been no specific talk about my future.

"We are in the job to coach the team and win matches and most important to give the fans something to be proud of.

"When the fans have turned against us as they have, that's the worst possible scenario and you can understand it because we haven't really got ourselves going since the Brentford game. But it's a fact of life and we can't change it, no words of mine can change it.

"We just have to do the best we can for them [the fans]. We just have to take it on the chin. Most importantly, we can't do it without their support when we have so many of our celebrated players unavailable.

"The players who are coming in in their place need support more than ever. We can only hope the fans understand and give us their backing.

"Speculation is always going to be there when people are having a bad run with their club. Why should I be any different to that? It's not in my control and doesn't impact my daily work.

"It doesn't stop me selecting the team or the tactics to get them in the best possible shape. One has no option but to let those things [rumors] pass them by."
