All three would end up relegated to the Championship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Palace, meanwhile, went on and took more top-flight scalps at Wolverhampton and West Ham as Hodgson brought a new brand of attacking football with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">His continuation means he will retain his status as the Premier League&#8217;s longest-serving manager and marks a complete turnaround after he previously left the club two years ago to spend more time with his family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Supporters already bemoaned the Englishman&#8217;s tactics during his first spell at the club, but now seem to fully agree that the right decision was made to extend his stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">One commentator reacting to the news said: &#8220;Hopefully he can continue the exciting football we ended the season with.
