It'll be a good move for him if he gets the job. If it's true that Oxford made an approach for him previously but was denied then access by Palace, presumably, he's got a decent chance of getting it.

Hopefully Paddy will take a few of our youngsters on loan if he gets the Oxford job.

If Paddy was interviewed then that would suggest he has no expectation of taking over from Roy. To be honest I don't see Parish taking that kind of risk unless pushed anyway. More experienced managers have in the main served him best. Moyes' contrast expires this summer and rumours are it won't be extended. He has the charisma of a dead fish but he would probably be a good manager for us.

If we finished that high it would be an astonishing achievement. Not saying it won't happen but I can't shrug off the idea that we're "only" Palace and are somehow blagging it - especially with the recognised weaker spots in the team.
Optimism is an alien concept where CPFC are involved.

we have two outstanding centre backs, two outstanding central midfielders and two outstanding play makers, a a merely great left back and two top keepers - this is the closest we've been to being a genuinely 'good side, since the Southgate, Coleman, Salako, Armstrong/Stewart side that was only a couple of players away from being top 8. A reliable striker that doesn't break the bank is very hard to find admittedly, but if we can get a clever loan or that PSG fella (Timo Werner's name is circulating - though 'reliable' might not describe him) then it's not a fantasy that we could get 8th, 7th might be pushing it, but we have a lot of top, top players - and we just need an OK right back and a clinical striker who can run faster than a tortoise and we're bang there. Take the 50/1 about us for the Cup this season.

It will not be Paddy, You do not risk a £120m a year income on a bloke who's only Premiership managerial game was a 4 1 thumping when he said he thought we'd played well!
