I think Roy Hodgson was a really good manager for us and I hope that’s how he leaves his legacy with us.

Not the guy that comes back for one last time and takes us down. You don’t need it Roy. Enjoy retirement.

We need to plan for the future NOW!

The board need to consider there are two scenarios that play out:

1. We stay up. The squad needs 7/8 new players. Inactivity in past windows means we can’t make the same mistakes again.
2. We go down. The squad will need possibly even more players. It could almost be half a squad.

We need a new manager now that will be here next season and have assurances whatever division we are in.
Appointing an interim puts it off again. SP will spend half the summer appointing a new manager and we will go into the new season woefully unprepared again!
We need to learn from past mistakes, not patch things up. The squad is what it is. No one is going to bring in new players and even Roy or Sam needed a few games to make a difference, it wasn’t instant. We are partly in the hope that what we have is enough and there are 3 worst teams than us.
Will Roy be here next season? No. So he shouldn’t be here this season either. It’s this short sided approach that has meant Brighton and Brentford are now ahead of us.

Bring in a new manager. Let’s see where we finish and give him the maximum amount of time to plan for next season.

I don’t want us going down, but I don’t want us staying up and being so badly prepared for next season that it becomes a certainty and in embarrassing style next year.

As Parish himself says in the programmes “carry on up the Palace”.

Warnock is not much younger than Hodgson but seems to have turned things round at H’field.

As a stopgap until end of season, I would be happy for Roy to return.

Hostility from certain fans (possibly the majority) would be an issue, but there is only one priority - staying up.

Of course, it is possible that Roy might rule himself out.

Incidentally, any word yet from PV on his departure?

I hope you’re not suggesting that is a midfield we should actually consider playing? We wouldn’t get a touch in our own half let alone the opposition’s.

Whoever wants roy is a fool we won't win a game with him in charge people with short memories might not remember that roy doesn't make subs doesn't give players a go jairo won play of the month a left back then dropped him ahamada in times he's come looks brilliant runs forward with the ball passing forward breacking through defences won't get an opportunity will keep playing schlupp and ayew both ineffective like Roy's tactics

It's beyond a disgrace we need goals if we were in the bottom 3 leaking goals I'd get it but where not were missing chances and not creating enough a defensive manager isn't the answer at all
Parish and the board have been an utter shambles all year deserve to go down if we appoint roy

Know absolutely nothing about Adi Hutter beyond what’s on Wikipedia, hilarious name though.

I suppose if it is to be him we can all split into two predominant groups: those who will research him, pick out his highlights and heil (wordplay intended) his appointment or others who equally research him, focus solely on what we think we need and assume he does not have and forecast the apocalypse.

It will be Roy but, but, if it is this fella, will certainly keep this forum active for the coming months.

I’m confident we’ll lose to 0 tomorrow however I’m posting with the hope I’ll look foolish for saying so.

Bring em on in any case! Emotional times but last thing we need is to all start b!tching at one another, be loud, be proud, be Palace!

COYP!!! And come on Paddy, his face as the final whistle blew at Hillsborough still etched in my mind! We had an N Clyne in the bench that day if memory serves.

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

This is a piece about Mr Hutter's tactical approach. Problem would seem to be that he uses attacking wing backs, precisely what we don't have

I hardly think there is any truth in the rumour, because Adi Hütter has no experience in the PL and his successes in Germany were also limited in time. That would be an experiment that would be far too risky. That's why slogans like "With Adolf H. we'll conquer Europe" are premature. BTW, there are also quite nice people in Austria who have the bad luck (or such stupid parents) to have been baptised with the name Adolf. My first wife had an uncle whose name (not entirely by chance) was Adolf. He was good-naturedness and peacefulness personified, in complete contrast to his wife with a completely harmless first name.

The pundits should know better ... or don't they watch our games? I've got nothing against PV so long as he goes to "manage" another team.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Positives about Roy:

- He kept us up, fairly comfortably, with a worse squad that what PV had to work with.

- If PV had been our manager to start 22/23, I think we'd be "safe" by now.

That being said, my issues with him are the same as what others have already said...

- He's old. He saved our PL position many times. Why in the world does he want to go through this again? If he comes back and we go down, he'll be forever remembered for that, when he deserves to be remembered as the manager who kept us up under some really difficult circumstances. The risk/reward seems like it isn't worth it for him.

- Watford. He took them over with plenty of time, and they were awful, and relegated. Granted our squad is better than Watford, but still, it's concerning that he had zero impact when trying to save them.

- Style of play. Roy is a defense first manager. He's the type to park the bus and hope for a lucky goal, which is what PV had been doing for months. So if our biggest problem is we're unable to generate any attack, why hire a manager who was never good at attacking?

At the end of the day, Roy is a better manager than PV, so I'd rather have Roy than PV for this relegation scrap. Maybe having quality assistants, better fitness, and a consistent game plan is enough to keep us up.

Ideally, I'd like to get Allardyce back. I think our squad needs a rocket up their ass, and BFS is better to do that than Roy.
