The Sunday press are reporting that Les Reed has set a deadline of 10 days to appoint a new Manager at Soton and that both FdB and Mauricio Pellegrino are lined up for interviews, so clearly we are bottom of the pile, it seems no one decent fancies the Managers job at Palace, why is that?, is it a lack funds to invest in the transfer market, as clearly that is what turned McInness away from the Sunderland job or is it the anachronistic set up at Palace with SP too hands on with football matters due to the lack of any director of football, I know some think SP walks on water and I acknowledge that he has done great things in the past for the football club but 8 managers in 7 years is a bit much and points to a problem, the past is the past and can't be changed the future can!

Can you name the last Belgium to play for Palace before the Benteke brothers?

So bored with this.
Why the hell are we unable get something done?
In the meanwhile other clubs are sorting themselves out and transfers ared being done.
Turning into a joke now - jeez!!

Why are we so slow at announcing things. Last summer it took us forever to sign Benteke.

And that wouldn't have happened had it not been for the intervention of the US investors telling SP to pay the asking price (and that was from the horse's mouth).

For the past 70 years I have been a fan of Crystal Palace and because of my location now, I am seeing things from a distance.
I think too many of you are too close to the situation that you do not see things clearly.
Steve Parish and his colleagues who rescued our club from a fate worse than Brighton, have ended up with a succesfullis premiership club and have every right to do with it as they see fit
Anyone who disputes that is foolish.
GUYS you do not own the club, He does!
Just be patient and wait and see what happens.

This would be a pretty moribund football forum if we didn't discuss what's going on at the club. What do you suggest we talk about on a Palace forum?

There clearly is no smoke without fire as the press are also reporting a dispute between SP and the Americans, the latter are supposed to want FdV and SP Dyce, SP would probably prefer Dyce as he would be easier to control and less demanding on Transfer budgets where as Fdv would probably be the opposite, we shall have to wait and see but time is running out and we are now losing valuable time and missing out in the transfer market

And this surprises you? Of course a Palace chairman is going to be hesitant over dropping £30 mill on a player. It's unchartered territory for a club like us.

I disagree. Dyche has been used to autonomy at Burnley and probably wouldn't want to move to a club with such a hands on chairman and if he is so undemanding on transfer budgets why bother leaving his cozy current position unless it's purely for money and everyone seems to agree that's the wrong reason

Bad news about Muffin, he will only come to us if he can't get the Southampton job.

Who knows what goes on behind closed doors, but the two Americans do seem to have a different approach to decision making at times. Other clubs have started their recruitment process, but how much difference that makes to us is questionable, as we tend to drag transfers out to the end of the window anyway. I take your point with respect to Dyche, whose major selling point on his CV does appear to be "able to manage on a limited budget", but I'd hope that the managerial decision won't be based on who's the most malleable candidate.
