Here you go.

Were there actually any players there?

Pictures of him taking training today on the club's website alongside a photo of Parish wearing an expensive blue suit and white trainers thus proving that no matter how wealthy you are you cannot buy class

You have got to let it go. That jealousy of Parishs achievements is always underlining your posts.

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

Because I don't know much about his style or philosophy or how he wants to go about his business at Palace.

I'm not talking about the standard one-liners in the press release that anyone could write, but digging beyond that, and into what attracted him to the job, what he thinks is a realistic achievement. Most of our recent managers we knew what we were going to get, Vieira is more of an unknown to me, in terms of management.

the first 5 games are tough, a poor marker for what he can do... however, man management will be key... keeping the moral high through the hard start.

From those games I want to see passion and 100% effort.

I also wanna see plan a, then plan b..

maybe I am asking too much.

 

This was once a quality forum....

He wouldn't be my 1st 2nd or even 10th choice. We have to get behind him now Parrish has taken him on.

It's natural for some of us.
My wife reckons I can make the most stylish and expensive suits look like they're being modelled by a tramp.
I suppose she's technically right.

Seriously, you really don’t HAVE to. As your post shows, you can continue to criticise on the basis of no evidence for as long as you like.

Having spoken to a few supporters tonight, I can report there was a somewhat mixed reaction to the appointment of Vieira.Generally a feeling of being underwhelmed.

I can't imagine this guy lasting the entire season. Terrible choice, in my opinion. I would have preferred almost anyone else, even Cooper, who I didn't want at all.

Being a manager of NYFC is a joke, completely worthless experience. If we were going with an ex-player, I would have vastly preferred Lampard.

It makes me think that we should have allowed NES to bring over whoever he wanted. At least he could have or probably would have, kept us up.

Vieira is in way over his head in the PL, taking over a side that needs a massive and risky overhaul. I am pissed off over this. I hope SP and the board are prepared to pull another FdB, and hire a real manager before Christmas.

FFS.

I just hope the fans will be patient at the start of the season. Even if we'd hired Pep, Klopp, or Sir Alex, I'm not sure any of them would inspire us to start the season with a string of scintillating victories, given the roster turnover, the time it takes to build a squad, and possibly the lack of investment. Let's see where we stand, where we're headed, and how we're playing – in February.

I think he really need a dammed good chance at it. He apparently likes attacking football & is a good man manager. The old tired choices really haven't set the world on fire so maybe this guy can shake things up.

Spiderman Flag Horsham 06 Jul 21 6.46am

I cannot believe how so many seem to be writing this appointment off as a disaster. When you have players like David Silva saying he is one of the best coaches he has played under, that will do for me.
Not sure what some fans wanted, personally Favre, once he was linked, would have been my choice but he didn’t want it. Move on.
I have confidence that this appointment will work and that we are in for an exciting time, not immediately but given time.
We should all get behind him and make him feel wanted

 
The Yorkshire Eagle Flag Great Ouseburn, N Yorkshire 06 Jul 21 7.26am

It is clear that most ‘posters’ are suffering from frustration, disappointment and uncertainty!

Frustration, over the time it has taken to appoint our new leader.

Disappointment, that PV appeared to be 4th/5th/6th choice, having been rejected, by some higher profile options...if ever they were options, and...

Uncertainty, over PV’s experience at this level and his relatively short career on the touch line.

Sure, we would all have liked to have seen Nuno or a known and ‘proven’ manager arrive at SE25, but none come with a guarantee of success. There have been many big name failures over the years!

The truth is, this is a results based business, so if PV does an ‘FdB’, then his and our future is bleak. However, he may just surprise us all. His name and French connections may produce some bright and youthful talent, his name may attract an experienced general, a la Yohan Cabaye. He may already have been on the blower to Pep, asking if he can ‘borrow’ the latest Phil Foden for a season... !

We just don’t know, so let’s wait and see and judge HIM on his style of football, signings and above all results.

Who knows, “this time next year Patrick, we could be ..?” (answers, ‘sur une carte postale, svp’

Mange toot.

 
Annie Oakley Flag South Croydon 06 Jul 21 7.37am

Lets just get behind Vieira and give the man a chance. All manager appointments are a shot in the dark for any club. The best can fail anywhere or be a hero anywhere. I'm glad we finally have someone to lead us into the next season before all the best players have been snapped up.

 
The Yorkshire Eagle Flag Great Ouseburn, N Yorkshire 06 Jul 21 7.39am

Well said Spiderman ... and welcome Patrick!

You never know he might be just brilliant.

I think he may have to be with the task he faces.

First home game give him a proper Palace reception!

 

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.
