Both points very well made - I'd certainly prefer GP to GS too.

You can't change the way things are but you can change the way you are with the way things are.

More chance of it being Paddy McGuinness!!

If it was going to happen for Paddy where the top job is concerned on a permanent basis it would’ve happened by now. If he does end up with a managerial job, it’ll be elsewhere lower down the leagues imho.

I can see Roy being given another years extension if this season works out ok. He and Ray both seemed to be well liked by the players.
I don't think we would jump straight in for GS, Cooper could be a possibility but why didn't he take the opportunity before?
Did he turn us down or did we turn him down?
If not perhaps Tony Popovic may be sounded out, as we all know Palace love an ex player!

I feel Paddy is being seriously considered, the key for me is would Ray stay with him in the same role he currently has, if yes, it got a good chance of happening, Potter, who is a decent manager, but I fear 3 or 4 bad results and the fans would turn on him, not fair but more than likely, he has baggage

You may be right. I note he's given a couple of the in-house post match interviews.

Never heard either of those 'rumours'. Nor has any other Palace fan I know. You sure you're not just making it up as you go along?
No one knows who was even interviewed for the job except Parish, Freedman and the Palace board. None of them are likely to tell anyone else about it unless it becomes a done deal. Doing so would just make them look stupid.
These days interviews are carried out via Zoom calls or face to face meetings well away from prying eyes. No one's going to see Potter outside Sainsbury!
