I've deleted the more stupid parts from your post leaving the only sensible part to comment on.

There seems to be an idea amongst many that the longer SP takes over finding a new manager the more likely it is that he will land the right one but if one thinks about it logically that isn't necessarily the case and he is just as likely to end up with the wrong one as if he made his mind up quickly

In terms of appointing a manager, a number of factors come into play which can lead to a protracted selection process, not just the fact that a Chairman etc cannot make his mind up as to whom he actually wants.

Useful piece on FdB coaching style. Doesnt look a particularly easy fit with Palace, but had a great start to his coaching career. Right now, any of the 3 most touted coaches would do: Pellegrino, FdB, Dyche.

Are we now putting ourselves in a difficult position with perspective managers?

If we have conducted initial interviews but still not made a choice the candidates may walk away. I have gone for job interviews which are followed by a clear dragging of feet by the employer because they aren't quite sure/think someone else better may come along/I'm second choice, and in the interim period I get myself a job with an organisation (read Southampton for this example) that made their choice swiftly and committed to me being the man for the job.

I know we need to get it right, but I am genuinely concerned that we may run out of options.

 


Now here's Wright, his first chance to see what he can do, and he's through, it's Wright, ohhhh what an impact by the substitute. And it's Ian Wright who's sent the Palace fans into ecstasy!

Well said Eltham Eagle, I think you have summed up the situation and what most fans are thinking perfectly.

Looks promising for me. the use of FBs going forward and CDM dropping back to distribute play. Sounds a lot like what Sam had set up

Only thing that worries me is the high intensity press when we dont have the ball, hopefully the coaching team can get our fitness levels up so we could see out the season. But teams that play like this tend to wither towards the end, particularly if they lack depth, which we do

If the press stories are correct and it's a three horse race between De Boer, Pellegrino and Dyche I really hope Dyche does not get the job!

When I mentioned Puel, a few on here pointed out how poor his run-in at Southampton was, and yet some of those same people are very keen on Dyche who clearly did a better job than Puel. Not!

Of the three I'd hope for Pellegrino but as ever, in Parish I trust (though by the end of this week that will be wearing a little thin).

Cynic or realist? It's a fine line!

Yes but supporters are jumping to conclusions without being privy to all the facts surrounding the selection process.

Nearly a month is long to be concerned about the direction of the club going forward.

Had a fright this morning. Opened HOL on mobile and on the front page there's a big picture of Pardew. I didn't see the headline at first, just him. Being relieved it's a season review is an understatement.

Phew.

Although we don't know the selection process, the dwindling manager pool is fact rather than speculation.

The start of the season is also a date set in stone and we are drifting into the period when deals are being done. The longer this goes on the shorter period we'll be active.

Unfortunately it's becoming like groundhog day - another day, another day without a manager (repeat until banging head against wall)

Perhaps one can entertain the notion that there were those in the so called "Pool" who were never under consideration.

I can only re-iterate that such selection processes can be very detailed and various factors come into play which can elongate the whole matter.And they can be very frustrating for those who have to "Seal the deal".

So please don't engage in any "Blame game" in respect of Steve Parish for not making his mind up, dithering etc etc and all that pilaver.

Didn't this happen with Tim Sherwood a few years ago?

Right you are

I do think we'll see something this week. FBD was supposedly waiting until the end of his holiday to make a decision, hopefully hes not on a 3 weeker in Ibiza

If it is between FDB and MP then the one that Southampton reject is the one we will get

Two pretty attractive choices, so dont mind this. Would always rather have first pick, but its taken us nearly 4 weeks to get to this point. Maybe its good to have the choice taken away from us?

If frank de Boer desperate for the palace job. He'd cut short his holiday, sort out the palace contract and discussion. Then finish his holiday afterwards. I think that parish preferred choice is pellergino. Just a hunch. Pellergino wants to see what's on offer from Southampton.
