I can't believe that over 500 posts into this thread, and no-one has yet mentioned that Mourinho always wanted to manage Palace before he finished.

I was actually going to post this yesterday but was very drunk lol

Cannot comprehend that Parish and the Board would not have an appropriate replacement lined up,before this sacking, and ready to appoint within the next few days and talks are probably going ahead right now.

Agreed , I trust Parish and he will make right decision

Vieira’s old nemesis Roy Keane spotted in Sainsbury’s car park this morning? He did tell Carragher he wanted one more crack at managership. He’d make Shaun Derry seem like Mother Theresa! &#128514;

Benitez would be a real statement of intent from The Board.

If we could attract Benitez with the challenge to keep us up,with suitable incentives if he delivers,what is there not to like??

Steve Cooper?

Now the Arsenal game is mercifully out of the way the club can get on with appointing a caretaker/new manager.
There are stories that this is likely to be in the next 48 hours.
The sooner the better so at least there's some clarity of direction for the remaining games.
We seem rudderless (or at least more rudderless than usual) at the moment and this needs to end quickly.
Players will be only to happy to look for excuses if the club give them a reason to.

The new manager will need to be a miracle worker !!!

Will Still looks like he’s going to be a top manager. Looks like we’ll play it safer with Hodgson but maybe an option worth looking at ready for next season.

 

nickyf 19 Mar 23 4.16pm

We need a manager who can win 4 games which will takes us to 39 pts, Steve Cooper for me done well with swansea with limited funds turned around forest and knows the teams at the bottom.
Someone who could make a short term impact on the players to Fergus over the safety line.

 

southnorwoodhill Flag 19 Mar 23 4.16pm

The new manager would be aware of the possibility of relegation and discussed this at interview. Ignoring this would be negligent imho.
Therefore what assurances can the club give a new manager? The decks will most certainly be cleared of all the dead wood and high earners.

Cooper's on a long term contract (5 years?) and Forest wouldn't want to let him go. It would take a fortune to get him

I'd at least offer Bielsa a 2+ year contract with a big bonus to keep us up and allow him to walk if we get relegated.

He might like the look of our youngsters and decide it's worth a punt for a couple of months work

Whoever is considered for the job the board will say during the interview process that they fully believe we have enough points on the board so far this season, a squad with enough quality players available & enough winnable games left to comfortably avoid relegation - but any contract that we offer you will have a clause in it that says - subject to renewal at the end of the current season.

 

southnorwoodhill Flag 19 Mar 23 4.35pm

Why would any manager already in employment want to come here with its joke of a chairman? Uproot, move house, school for the kids?
Or choose to travel in a couple of hundred miles each day?
The money? The lure of Championship football?
It surely must be someone out of work desperate enough to take the role, and is ready to start immediately, whatever happens. Unless the board knows something about funding that we don't I predict relegation, if not this season then next.

I have been in contact with 3 season-ticket holders and they have no intentions of taking the seats if Mr Hodgson is appointed manager.
