HOT OR NOT: It wasn't pretty but Crystal Palace were in safe hands with Roy Hodgson... and would any other Tottenham employee get away with the mess created by Daniel Levy?

It's Hot or Not time again as Sportsmail's Riath Al-Samarrai reveals what's been making him feel warm and what's been leaving him cold this week.

HOT

Richard Bland

Some numbers on this guy.

Prior to last weekend, he had played 477 tournaments as a pro across 25 years, returned to qualifying school 10 times and played close to 1,450 competitive rounds on tour. Never a winner.

And then, aged 48, he got it done at the British Masters. Lovely stuff.

Roy Hodgson

It hasn't been pretty and with the players Crystal Palace have had, you might have hoped for quicker pulses.
