Always liked Dougie, problem is he has achieved absolutely nothing in Football Management. Walking out on us as he did, and the fact he has done nothing since, his CV is rather lacking. Best thing he can do is take on a lower ranked team or come into Palace as a coach and slowly work his way back. On that basis I would welcome him back.

What's Freedman done since? Where are his credentials? He's failed hasn't he, so why bring him in? At least have a little bit of ambition and look beyond ex-Palace players, because it's such an outdated outlook. There's too much at stake for clubs these days, and Parrish should have known that before appointing Pardew. He hasn't exactly covered himself in glory with Warnock or Allardyce either though has he, so maybe Steve should be having a good hard look at his own position when the dust finally settles at the end of this God awful season.

He did what?
So far as a manager his achievements are he once had a dozen game winning streak. Honestly can't remember the exact figures.
In my top 3 favourite ever players, but not the man to take over, sorry.

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

With respect there is NO need for such language.

Couldn't he come back as a player? His mobility wouldn't come amiss.
