I'm no where near Roy's age but I've always respected older people for their life and often business experiences. It's quite ridiculous to see the number of ageist comments on here which indicates that this type of discrimination is rife in the UK. There's so little respect for older people in the last 20 years, maybe the younger generations are simply jealous of people like Roy's achievements in life. Is that your default reaction?

I haven’t read all of this thread, so this has probably been said but the reason this idea is silly is, much as it would be nice to have a long term plan, it’s not realistic. Every manager is a few results away from the sack. Roy has a contract, which I believe he will fulfil and that’s as long term as it gets. What’s the alternative? Invest in and gamble on an inexperienced coach and groom them for the job when Roy retires? And then what? He makes a name for himself and goes to a bigger club or he struggles and gets sacked. The next time we’re without a manager, we’ll have to interview the best candidates around at the time, and that’s it.

Situations are very 'Fluid' in football so perhaps the best one can do is to adopt the model akin to the 'Black Box' used at Southampton where managers and coaches are analysed and scrutinised over a period and if one loses one's manager one can use the 'Black box' details to selection possible candidates depending on their availability etc etc, adopting a realistic and pragmatic approach.

Much like a scouting network players we should have something in place for managers too. Sadly for us both of these things are severely lacking at Palace as highlighted by us scratching around for both players and managers last minute

why don't we do it by heredity - Roy's oldest boy should take over and so on, if there's no male heir of course there would be a problem
