Crystal Palace FC Thread + Premiership Palaver

[tikay]

I don't think it will harm your reputation.  Their squad is a Championship standard squad, so nobody is going to think you messed up if they go down as long as you make a decent fist of it?

I reckon the Palace fans would probably take right now relegation with a few scalps along the way and finishing on 35 points if you offered it.  The real fear is the Derby style nightmare season.

That misses the point, though - just taking the job auto-downgrades you as a Managerial prospect. He took the Palace job.

The only guy not on a hiding to nothing is Millen.

Why on earth would Sean Dyche want the job @ Palace?

He's built a good little side up at Burnley, who might well being going in the opposite direction to the lads from Selhurst, come May (or maybe the 1st of Feb).

I'd say leave the hot potato with ex-Watford Ledge Keefy Millen, and look for a realistic replacement if/when he fails to keep 'em up.

And I really think if you're silly enough to be looking for some 'exotic foreign/South American' coach, with Palaces track record - you'll probably end up with Paddington Bear, Ant!

I think they'd bite the hands off the person who would offer them 35 points.

Such a stupid market. The bookies are laughing all the way to the bank.

No one wants the job do back to pulis and palarse giving into to his wage demands.

Thought that Parish wanted him to stay, but Holloway was convinced it was best he left.

Palace earnt the right to be there by beating my team, who didn't show up on the day in the Play Off Final.

I'd much prefer a 'big team' - Villa, Newcastle, or ideally both - to go down, to be replaced by two 'unfashionable' clubs.

The Prembore has murdered English/British football in less than a generation     ...........      Boooooooo to 'Modern Football'!

BBC have put up an article saying we are in advanced talks with Pulis. They haven't put up one article about any of the potential hopefuls suggesting any of them were going to take over, despite the odds at times. They have just come in now and stated what most probably is fact.

BBC have a knack with all things Palace to report only when what they are suggesting will probably go through. So I do think Pulis is our man now solely off of that, which is probably unwise, but not terrible of me.

Super Tony Pulis imo if he was to keep us up. Palace fans would eventually all welcome any style that would result in wins, with those that are annoyed gushing with the potential increased stability.

It may be a culture shock after last season though. That was some of the best stuff i have seen in my 10 years watching at Palace. The Bolasie, Zaha and Murray trio were a joy to watch with huge levels of expectancy and excitement any time the wingers were given the ball wide.

It is a shame Bolasie appears to have dropped off. I think he is just missing that hard graft aspect, that will probably come if the whole teams morale improves. We also have Murray back in contention for January which could be great for us if he can be anything like he was in the earlier parts of last season.

But I fear he may have dropped off of the pace for good as his last 10 games in a Palace shirt brought only 1 goal and that was a penalty, with him being a passenger in all of those games, believe me when I say this, Wilbrahim was the better option. And I hold Murray getting injured was the key to our promotion, allowing his dire form to be ousted and Wilbrahim to come in and be great in the air and in ball retaining.

There were rumours though that Murray had a long term hip injury that he continued to carry that completely nullified his performances, with Palace pushing him through games in hope that he could turn his form around especially as there were not many games left in the season and he could rest it up over the simmer. Perhaps that injury will be fine now too.

If so we have a potential predator available from January onwards. Much like a slower Lewandowski.
