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???? Originally posted by maddog
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.

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.

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…

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

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. Here you go.

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.
