For me, it's as simple as this: Now, I'm looking forward to the season beginning. Had nothing changed, I wouldn't be. Eating tripe week after week may keep you alive, but there comes a point (for me, anyway) where you just can't eat any more. So it's glass half-full for me. I'm in and excited again. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Apologies if this has been provided already. BBC giving a fairly well researched (for them) piece on Vieira: [Link] Not what you'd call a glowing reference, but personally I'm happy with the appointment and am cautiously optimistic, subject to our transfer market dealings being OK.

Time for me to put my reservations on this appointment to one side and get behind it. May well end up being an inspired decision- who knows! Attention now turns to who he brings in to support him and also (crucially) improve the squad. Interesting times.

There’s no way he’d come to Palace unless he thought/knew he would/was going to be backed in terms of investment. Viera is not just a Premier League star he’s a global star..!! I just don’t understand some of the negative comments on here - moaning no Manager being appointed - then one is who is a massive name - still moaning. Just no pleasing some folk..!! Come on PV let’s now start getting in some exciting young talent - starting with Micheal Olise - also French so with PV now as Manager must give us a good chance..!! Come on Viera...!! COYP Totally agree with this. It all comes down to his budget- even Pep couldn't do much with this squad!

It’s a brave decision on both sides. He has his reputation on the line. If it’s a disaster he will get the sack so he has plenty to deliver. I am hoping that funds were promised, because otherwise he will have a grad job. I also hope Wilfred stays. Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

Wilf the whinger, I'd rather see the back of. Question is, does Wilf the wizard even exist anymore?

If we finish 17th or better under PV, bearing in mind all the issues around squad rebuild, I will consider the season to have been a great success. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Vaibow vancouver/croydon 04 Jul 21 11.40pm
My two pence worth. He has potential, did well when nurtured at City. At Nice they sold a lot of their star players, plus, managers are allowed mistakes and bad spells. Also, he's a natural leader and knows the game, well. The press releases has him saying he will work close with Freedman and Parish, that's not a bad thing. He has a project to deliver, so exciting times in that respect. Also, an aspect of south London culture, that parish has been dipping his toe into a lot recently, can't be bad having a BAME manager. This was once a quality forum....

I can't believe anyone is introducing race and identity politics into a thread about the new manager. Irrelevant in my view. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition.

At this juncture I'd absolutely take 17th spot now given the palavra towards succession planning post Hodgson. If he gets the financial backing this summer (and potentially Jan 2022), then my expectations could improve... But either way, looking forward to the new season and hopefully positive direction the club will go under a natural born winner in Patrick Vieira!!! COYP

COYP I would take 17th, however my expectation for this year is between 13th/16th. We should be investing wisely this summer and also keeping hold of talent from those that have reached the end of their contract. 3 new signings will be enough from the players we had last season, I don't want to move too soon this summer.

PV has got a big challenge ahead. Plus side is he will be able to help choose incoming players. Downside is the turbulence of the current out of contract position. Big season ahead. Here’s hoping it goes well and PV leads us to glory.
