I’ve got a feeling that there will be a lot of disappointed people on this forum in a few months’ time. I can see Roy staying on for another season.

He provides stability, professionalism and a level head during a time when there’s going to be so much change in the club. I guess it boils down to whether Roy wants to stay, which I’m sure he does. As for Parish, I can’t see any reason to ‘rock the boat’ and bring someone in.

I’d love to see Roberto Matrinez or Gareth Southgate come in. Young managers with lots of experience who play attractive and efficient football.

There is no choice,as there isn't a vacancy at Palace.

I wanted Howe and will be very disappointed if Roy stays.
Add to that I will not attend until he retires as the football is painful to watch and not worth 5/6 hours out of my day.
I will buy my season ticket and let friends use it - covid rules permitting.

I have heard of supporters of many a year who have no desire to watch games at Selhurst Park if the status quo is maintained because of what they described as "Dross" and other negative terms which I will refrain from posting on HOL.

The message is that they have to spend time and effort driving to Selhurst Park,then have to locate a parking space which is not in the vicinity of the ground,walk to the ground in all weathers and then have the long drive home.
The effort would be worth it if the football was more entertaining but alas they have had enough and these are chaps who have supported the team through thick and thin.
Maybe the advancement of years has contributed to their mindset!

Thanks Willow - I like it when people coming to the club have some sort of link already established. Hopefully Dyche comes and brings Woan with him.
I recall my Grandad telling me about Alan Woan being a good player for the Palace when we were watching a Forrest match
in the late 80’s / 90’s (we assumed Ian Woan was related).

This ongoing saga of who might be the new Palace manager and when that might happen is almost as intriguing as Forgotten.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Burnley are in a similar position to us - the manager deals with the football side but clearly has little say in the rest of the running of the club. And would dearly love more funds available but has to make do with what he’s got. And has done a pretty good job given the constraints of the squad. And their supporters have no more idea about who will be managing their club next season than we have

Dyche is still in contract but could decide to move if offered a better opportunity, subject to compensation etc. Who knows. He does have a pub named after him outside the away end at Turf Moor, which is pretty cool.

A match is an expensive, time consuming activity... why would anyone do it if it's not enjoyable... Roy, for me, as it's his team... has sucked the life out of it...
I live abroad, all games are on DAZN for me to watch, I watch other games as they are more enjoyable...

Fact is, parish is losing customers.... it's as simple as that....

This was once a quality forum....

No, it's not a fact, its your opinion. The only available evidence shows very clearly that a lot less paying customers turn up in the championship than the Premier league.
