Don't expect Fast free-flowing attacking football immediately. previous experience seems to suggest that he likes to build on a strong defence, which a) is fine be me and b) we don't have yet.

I can see some losses early doors, but we must not panic. we also must not be cut adrift by xmas - but I think that's unlikely.

Survival with some progress that we're moving in the right direction is my target. i.e. What Fulham did last year... without the relegation!!

Anything more than that from the position we're in now will be a great bonus (but also completely achievable!)

Correct he was sacked for losing 5 in a row but what did he do the 2 seasons before that???? he got them from 17th to 5th and then the season after finished 2nd on a shoe string budget . Maybe add this into your comment about being sacked afetr 5 games . Roy lost his first 4 games did we get relegated????

He was sacked by Nice for losing 5 matches in a row! That’s just an average Christmas for Palace!

I wonder if in fact PV was the first choice.

Not only has he achieved just about everything as a player, he should excite all those playing for him, he hopefully will have a good relationship with the press, but, and here's the rub, he might also be in a position to attract investment from the yanks.

Who knows? The City Group might be interested in an outlet in the Premier League. So the stated war chest of £80m might be supplemented by a substantial investment from across the pond.

Just saying.

Certainly no other candidate had that obvious connection.

Patrick, seems to have some very wealthy connections in the world of football, he was said to be involved in an attempt to buy into Arsenal. It must give food for thought. Possibly Parishes, thoughts.

don't want to be too demanding, but I really want to hear an interview with Vieira where he talks about why he wanted to come to Palace, and how he sees the task ahead. I know he'll have more pressing things to do, but you've got to play the media game as well. Hopefully he'll be at the training ground soon and our camera team can have 15 minutes with him

The FDB one was complete bullsh1t and lies so apart from hearing him and feeling fuzzy inside, what goes on in matches and after the transfer window closes is what counts.

I just want to feel fuzzy inside before getting a punch in the face from reality when the season starts.

The club's press release contained some quotes from Vieira to the effect that he is excited by the opportunity and the academy and whatever else. Usual stuff.

I'm sure the club will put out a lengthier in-house interview, plus the press will probably interview him too, but whether he'll go far beyond the usual platitudes or not remains to be seen.

That would have been de Boer, and it didn't work at all.

I hope Mr Vieira has a better relationship with the players and doesn't expect them all to be as good as he was.

I was thinking of Steve Coppell, as FdB had managerial experience, whereas I don’t think Coppell had any…

There's a lot of dinosaurs in English football, sport, and establishment in general.

Its easy to right off older heads with more experience as 'Dinosaurs'
It makes younger participants feel all young, fresh and cool to make such comments.
The reality is that there is good and bad in both. Would I want Neil Warnock appointed manager at Palace? Of course not. Equally, I most definitely wouldn't want either of the Neville brothers anywhere near my club either, despite the catchy soundbites they tend to come out with.
In many cases experience will always trump youth and enthusiasm, regardless of whether they are accused of being dinosaurs or not.

Anyone seen any concrete evidence he has actually started yet?

Unless I have missed it haven't seen an interview or even a picture of him with a shirt.

Be nice to know he has actually started work.

Why? It will only be the usual pre prepared nonsense and I'm sure that any one of us could guess the script in advance which is sure to include how impressed he was with the chairman's vision

I'd rather he gets on with the job than fanny around with a camera crew. It will just be the same old flannel. "Its great to be here, the fans are fantastic, the club is fantastic, there are some great players here I am looking forward to working with" etc etc.
I dont expect miracles but if he can give chelsea a good game in 5 weeks time then I'm interested in what hes got to say after that.

Youth has to discover experience from somewhere, are you suggesting that it cannot come from a club in our position ..and how long should it realistically take for a manager with the on field experience of Vieira to be afforded the luxury?
