Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is happy to see Sam Allardyce back in the Premier League.
Allardyce took charge of relegated-threatened Leeds United yesterday.
Hodgson said: "It's good to see him back. But unfortunately, as it is with every appointment, especially so late in the season, his appointment means that someone else has to lose their job. I have got every ounce of sympathy and empathy with Javi Gracia at this moment in time as well.
"Leeds obviously felt this was something they needed to do. I must say I do find it a little bit strange to see there are so many changes so very, very late in the season now, where really I don't quite know what the new manager is really expected to do. There is no magic. There is no dust that you sprinkle over the team. You can only work with the players who are there.
"It'll be if the players really can react to a new manager I guess. Find something they haven't found before. But if I was the owner of the club I would be asking the question can they find something that hasn't been there before? What's stopped them up to this point?"
