Eddie Howe's odds to become the next Palace manager have shortened drastically today following a formal approach by the club. Roy is on his final chance next Monday evening. Another spineless performance like the last and apparently he will be gone as early as Tuesday morning.

Jason Tindall will join as his assistant having recently left his post at Bournemouth.

You heard it here first!!!

What's the source of this story?
Kevin Day ventured the opinion that Parish would be reluctant to get rid of Hodgson before the end of the season as he would appear like the man who shot Bambi.

Source please?

Given the choice, I’d rather we did over Brighton.

I’ve been ‘Roy Out’ for a while now but in all honesty that is (in my mind only) a logical stance relative to our situation as it stands now. I don’t think any nostalgia can really be afforded in football but by the same token would never look to discount or refuse acknowledgement that RH has kept us up for numerous seasons and at the end of the day it’s an achievement that warrants respect if not high praise.

If we can get over the line this season including beating the weed, again, at their place with RH to bow out as amicably as possible at the end that would be my preference and I’d suggest the most desirable outcome for all. I would also assume this is what Parish and co. are hoping for.

If we lose miserably on Monday however, and this were to be true, I’d probably be minded to side with anything other then what we’ve seen all too often especially without Zaha, and that is us looking unlikely to ever score let alone compete in or win a game.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

A new manager isnt the problem, its an old stale squad, thats the problem.
A new manager would only achieve a very limited improvement, if any.

When I said if made no difference to result regarding a new manager, I meant that we need to start rebuilding now, and the earlier we get someone in the better regardless of the Brighton game .And the new manager can then start to sort out the crap ASAP.

Eddie Howe got Bournemouth relegated. No thanks.
Roy's choices have become frustrating, but the real bigger problem has been a lack of signings.

We might well be unable to spend more, but that is not Hogson's fault.

The injuries to Schlupp, Tomkins and Ferguson have been a big blow plus the insane sale of Wan Bissaka and the failure of our big signings Benteke and Sakho.

Roy will be scapegoated if we go down, but he is only a small part of the problem.

Whoever takes over from Roy will see just like us that it will take time and money.A lot better managers than Howe would struggle at palace ,and we won't have a lot of big names after the job.

The logic will be getting another manager in early as I mentioned this is not a small job.Has anyone got confidence in Roy keeping us up ? .Maybe just Maybe parrish will hold off if we beat Brighton. But will his managerial choice wait ?

Would like to think and hope if it is Howe who takes over ? Parrish would have done his homework on him and was certainly interested in him a while back.And Howe would have had plenty of time to see what he is taking on .
