Roy Hodson has apologised to Watford fans for failing to acknowledge them in the dark hour of relegation but insisted: “I didn't snub them deliberately.”
As their relegation to the Championship was confirmed by a 1-0 defeat at Selhurst Park at the weekend, Hornets supporters were infuriated when Hodgson headed straight for the tunnel, waving and blowing kisses to his old Crystal Palace flock.
Many took to social media demanding the former England coach's immediate sacking because there has been no love lost between Palace and Watford fans over the last decade – a friction Hodgson has acknowledged in his pre-match media duties.
