ESPN reporting that Pellegrino is about to open talks with Southampton and could be unveiled as their new manager by the end of the week.

De Boer and Pellegrino interviewed and both impress. Dyche not yet interviewed as he has been on holiday. Will be approached this week and depending on how he performs expect a decision by end of the week. Three good options. De Boer my least favourite. Had great set up at Ajax in poor league in Holland so of course he would look good. Then blew it at Inter Milan where he had good squad but could not handle pressure of desire and demand from club and fans alike. Probably de Boer is a better coach than manager. Pellegrino did wonders with Alves in La Liga where it is dominated by 2-3 clubs. Would be a possible gamble but so was Pochettino and look how he did at Southampton and Spurs. Dyche has done wonders at Burnley and was doing well at Watford and removed due to foreign owners. Has knowledge of the premier league but can he take his work to the next level that we would want at Palace. I would prefer Pellegrino. Knows Sammy Lee and prefers a pressing and counter attacking game which suits our squad. Also has wide range of premier and euro football knowledge. SO what are your thoughts out there? My thoughts are that there is a thread entitled New manager discussion that runs in to hundreds of pages.

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.

Rightly or wrongly, I don't think that these people are used to the selection process that we seem to be wedded to. They expect their record, etc. to be well known to a prospective employing club and, if at the interview an agreement can be reached on the details, they'll be offered the job. They're not used to being told there'll be a letter in the post in due course. We either do what Watford did and choose a target, go for it, and if all the ducks line up, make an appointment. Or we do what we're doing, which is painstakingly trawl though a sizeable short-list, carry out numerous interviews, keep candidates waiting whilst we ruminate and accept that, in the meantime, some of the targets will go elsewhere or blow us out.

You can still get odds such that you could bet on Dyche, Pellegrino and De Boer and still make a profit.

That was 7 years ago, you'd have thought with similar amount of pre-seasons to gain experience, that we wouldn't be fckin about again. It's worth remembering, that a manager will want to gauge the squad, and have time to train his ideas into the squad, and then add to it , all this takes time, which as each week goes by, we are running out of. The start of the seasons has been kind to us fixture wise, and we need to hit the ground running, my worry is that we have learnt nothing from the past and will just meander into another season, without the preparation we need. Yep.

SO what are your thoughts out there? unlucky mate - I tried the same thing and got similar unwarranted childish abuse - the other main thread has deteriorated into the usual who's the biggest a*sehole competition - I happen to agree 100% with your take on things - there's just been what looks genuinely significant shifts in the betting to suggest a decision is close - and Clapham Grand is getting excited apparently - fingers crossed for Pellegrino, he's still odds against favourite with the bookies for the Saints job but the exchanges have him long odds on - he's shortened with us as well though so has Dyche. A Saints fan reminded me they usually pluck someone out who's not among the usual suspects, so hopefully we'll get Mauricio and Southampton will look elsewhere, though The Times reckons he prefers us over the Saints anyway.
