I work for a company which has as one of its directors Philipp Lahm. Philipp is represented at board meetings by his manager (who is also Markus Weinzierl's manager, used to manage Owen Hargreaves and was captain of Bayern Munich's reserves) a guy called Roman Grill. In contrast to me (and most of the people on here, if they're honest!) he actually knows a LOT about football. (He really does; it's genuinely interesting to hear someonw who works professionally in football talk about the game, it makes the conversations I have in the pub with my mates seem childishly naive.) Anyway, we had a board meeting today and he was there and in his considered opinion, appointing Frank de Boer will be a disaster. I fear the worst! Definitely sounds the right guy to manage us for the first half of a season then.

Unfortunately our tried and tested strategy of "being dogs*** for 6 months and then bringing in a proven relegation dodger in January" may not work this year as we have managed to cycle through all the managerial relegation dodgers already.

If it is FDB...I wonder if he could persuade Bergkamp to come along with him?? I hope so.i'll be chuffed should Frankie sign on the dotted line and bring Bergkamp etc with him. Would be great if we could replicate the Ajax academy and bring some of the young stars through.i'd be excited being a Palace youth and first team player by this appointment.yes it's a risk but so is every appointment. His a winner and must have some serious contacts also. Well done Mr Parish. Be nice to see a bit of Dutch flair at SE25

Awh, I love the 'i played the game so I know more about it' mentality of ex-pros and pundits. Football is a simple game that is made complex by pundits to keep them in a job. Us mere fans who pay our money every week know more than the pundits give us credit for. De Boer, if confirmed, is an interesting appointment. The benefit is that he's a proven winner, was a world class player and placed a lot of emphasis on youth development, an area which I feel has been neglected since we arrived in the top tier. His name alone will attract talent from across Europe which is also a bonus. The danger is that his style of play, very much based on possession in final third, just isn't us and it will take a while for him to assert his brand on the team. For all we know, he may be adaptable and mix it up a bit. I worry about this aspect after the Pardew 'team in transition' debacle. But...that seemed to be a lot about neglecting recruitment in key areas, not replacing Mile etc. Maybe, with a decent manager that brand can be adopted. We'll wait and see... You know what though...this is Palace. Expect Pellegrino to be announced tomorrow! Haha.

Hopefully it's not us.
