The post concerns the manager and not the spendthrift owners. We all know what we have and haven’t got in terms of players but how you utilise what you have is solely down to the manager.

Yes indeed. I recognise a number of strawman arguments on here...

Oh the irony !

Potter remains my preference to succeed Roy but I can't see it happening and think Cooper would be a fantastic option.

I think a lot of what went wrong there was down to the owner, rather than Cooper, and their fans seem absolutely gutted that he's gone.

Ex-manager of England U16s and U17s, he'd be brilliant with the academy and is much more likely to bring guys like Franca on.

He'll probably take 6 months off now but could see it in the summer.

 


We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

I do wonder how different we would look under Cooper. He also seems a very cautious manager. A lot seems to be resting on the idea that he would get the best out of our younger players. It's also strange that Forest are apparently replacing him with Nuno who seems an odd choice to me. I actually wanted Nuno at Palace before he asked to bring half of Portugal with him and made a mockery of the whole deal, but he hasn't exactly done much since. Mind you, I think Marco Silva has surprised many people and he was apparently rejected by Parish.

It’s funny you should say that because I’ve noticed your opinions on Roy have changed substantially in the last 3 months or so and you are beginning to see the light.

Despite making Beardsley and Dowie look like sex gods, I agree with you.

Maybe that's the point. Meet the new boss same as the old boss only younger.

To be honest I don't get why were are interested in Cooper.

 


One more point

Yes it is otherwise you would be satisfied that we play as well as is possible under our present circumstances. You want a change of personal, what for to play the same way?
No point , more kids would not have beaten Man Unt, or City playing tight as we did. Or even a smart Everton, hoping we would try to get at them, how did that work out? Or even a very smart Bournemouth bang in form.
Roy has not yet let us get relegated.must be because he doesn’t look at his tools. Really.. There is no clear evidence more use of young players ,would help the team greatly ,and none it wouldn’t cause problems in the young players future development
You’re guessing when you question him using or or not using any players young or old.
He is not guessing, he works with them every frigging day, and if he doesn’t know a frigging sight more about these fellas inside and out than either you or me or 27,000 Palace fans then he really has led a wasted life.

It's not only 27,000 Palace fans though. You can add about 50,000 Liverpool fans and hundreds of thousands of England fans.

Who ever does become the next Palace manager the board, must be able to seriously back him by boosting our senior squad with at least three ready to use players.
This could be Cooper , As Forest manager he has comfortably held us twice and beaten us once. That tells me he would want something over what we have.
His knowledge of youth football has to be second to none, except for to say that handling the very best of any age group is always a bonus, and quiet different to finding gems in a mixed group. Having said that he should know one if it’s there.
Give him an improved senior squad and I’d say yes because best of all he is very tactically astute .

A lack of alternative options?

Might also be:

Younger (not hard)
PL experience
Good with younger players (or should be)
Kept a newly promoted Forest up
Probably cheaper than many other names

I’m a bit on the fence with Cooper, or rather finding it hard to make an informed judgement. I therefore will refrain from giving an opinion as I do not particularly have one either strongly in favour or against. Que sera sera.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Rather have a new striker than a new manager
