Read the thread titled “A LITTLE INFORMATION “ this might help if you trust the source.

 


In dog beers I’ve only had one.

I know it was only an interview , but I was impressed by the first one that Vieira gave to Palace TV.
He appears clear sighted and I noted a few things; his commitment to the team scoring goals , having more shots on goal and using more young players.
These are things many of us have been crying out for in recent times.
It would not be a good idea to go into the new season with just the injury prone Tomkins, Kouyate and Kelly as central defender options so clearly this area needs addressing quickly.
We must have a solid defensive platform to work from first to give us the scope to address the areas that Vieira hignlighted.

I refer to previous assertions I have made that I will not pass comment and respond to utterings of certain posters as I don't wish to dignify their comments with a response.

When David Villa says he is one of the best coaches he has worked with, suggests he is well respected,

I just watched the interview and I can see that this could be a good appointment.

Of course, it could also go very wrong but when I think about the managers that we were linked with, only Nuno gave me total confidence that he would do well here and even then, I would always have the question in my mind about how long he would have stayed at Palace.

Dyche would have probably kept us up but not a lot more, Lampard, for me, is like Vieira but with less of an international reputation.

You would expect Vieira to say the right things in his first interview but I still liked what he said.

It would appear that the youth set up was key to his descision to come and the fact that the team needs a rebuild also seems to appeal to him.

Overall, I like to see managers that want to be here long term and build something. If Vieira can do that or at least keep us were we are now, then I will be happy.

I hope he's a bit special for us but I hope for a lot of things.

It was PalaceTV so its never going to make him look bad, but certainly looks like he is going to take an interest in the whole club and recruitment. He's clearly a leader and his playing record is enough to inspire anyone.

I read somewhere the board have committed £80m for transfers? Can anyone confirm this??

I doubt it

Various figures have been bandied about with some adding that the sum includes wages and others that it includes Zaha sale funds but no-one outside the inner sanctum really knows

And I can confirm I overheard it being spoken of in a local bar by more than one Palace fan who appeared to also mention that it could have been £40m, 50m, or £80m, or none of the above. In fact after several minutes I came to the conclusion that as per the rest of us, no-one has a clue!

Lads NO club ever reveals it's real transfer kitty for fear of being held to ransom. Far better if we put on the 'poor mouth' and wheel and deal a bit eg take a good player we can't afford right now on a loan fee with option to buy like Mateta.

Do you actually read what others post on HOL or are you confusing us with "the few supporters who you have spoken to outside of this forum who you claim are underwhelmed at the appointment of Vieira."

For your information HOL (which you may have forgotten are ALL Palace fans) were decidedly underwhelmed at the prospect of hiring Lampard or Dyche and also had reservations about Nuno and Favre

No manager will please everyone. Vierira was obviously not first choice and he is a relative novice at top level management. That said, he has a big profile in football and will command respect among players until he does somethng to change that.
He has to be judged on results like any other manager and you can't afford a bad run at a club like Palace because the margins are too fine for survival.

Let's hope we have a new manager bounce for the opening fixtures because they are very tough.
