I believe that Dazza is correct in saying that Vieira is our new manager and that he will have a back-up team of at least 3. I, too, have heard the same from what till now I have found to be a reasonably reliable source. I have also heard the same info concerning OOC players. I believe the announcement is imminent (the next couple of days). What about the fact that at the start of this thread he said it was Frank Lampard…..and prior to that it was Eddie Howe? And since Lampard it has also been a done deal on both NES and Favre??? The bloke’s a joke and his misinformation is extremely irritating and unhelpful.

I’m pointing out, like numerous others have, the never ending stream of definitive statements that have been absolutely and emphatically wrong. It was the same in the previous two transfer windows with the new signings that were ‘definitely done’ and set to be announced imminently but were in actual fact completel fantasy; Saïd Benrahma being just one example.

Thank you, Not sure why some people on here get so abusive & feel the need to rant just don’t read the messages. Believe it or not it’s a fan’s forum to discuss things not give people abuse. There is enough crap going on in society without people bringing it on this site. The Irony!

So you have no idea who has accepted the " offers ". This means the club's stance that no player's would be offered new contracts until a new manager in place was designed to mislead.

Do you know what you can keep giving me abuse I don’t care. I know for a fact that Vieira is our New Manager 3 year deal. I also know that the following players have been offered new deals: Townsend - 2 year deal Ones being released are as follows: McCarthy I don’t care if you believe it or not I know this is the case. In regards to other stuff I don’t control what happens I just pass on what I know. For the record also I am not a loner, I have plenty of friends, run my business & also run a Children’s Football Club. I am not doing this for attention or to antagonise people I am a die hard Palace fan & just want to pass on what I get told. I apologise if it’s wrong information but at the time of sharing that is what I am told is happening. The above you will see. Announcement Sunday regards Vieira.

I get your point but this is not a sense of entitlement. Football, as you know, is so entwined within the community that it’s not like a delayed takeover of the local grocers. We invest time, money, sweat and tears on our team and, in return, all we ask for is 100%, win, lose or draw. That applies to the running of the club also. I do understand that the fans are not as important in the EPL, with sponsorship and TV deals etc, but if they f*** this up - as I suspect they will - then we will be a lot more important in the lower divisions. Edited by Helmet46 (02 Jul 2021 10.27pm) You seem to expect a weekly update of the going ons at the club. This isnt issued by any other club, why should Palace.

I have been a fan for over 50 years who happens to be one of those who questions what’s going on. What is being asked if for a third choice management and coaching team to assemble a Premier competitive team from the remnants of last season’s ageing squad together with presumably 3 or 4 new signings together with perhaps a couple of loans. Bang on

I don’t see how how anybody can see this as some sort of master plan with a coherent strategy. In the 11 years of CPFC2010 there has only been one master plan with a coherent strategy that has worked and that is the way that Parish acquired the club as per the final chapter in Simon Jordan's book The second master plan that is partway to fruition is the upgrading of the academy to the top status in order to attract and develop the best talent from the local area. Time will tell if this has worked. Most of the other successes seem to be the result of luck in what I have called serendipity management. I was roundly derided years ago when I wondered out loud if we would have been promoted if it wasn't for the happy accident of having a young lad called Wilfried Zaha in our youth ranks. On occasions when we have had to dispense with managers due to the risk of relegation Parish has been fortunate to have anti relegation specialists like Pulis, Allardyce and Hodgson available to hire. Some of the transfer windows have been dreadful leaving us with huge gaps in our squad but by the biggest stroke of luck we have managed to survive. As you can see I am a sceptic when words and phrases like "master plans" and "strategy" are bandied about. If our next manager is to be Vieira and he is successful will it be down to a cleverly thought out strategy or just more of Parish's luck?
