Had a disastrous run at Swansea that lead to his dismissal and a disastrous run at Leeds that saw them go from automatic promotion contenders to failing to even make the playoffs. If he's the best we can do then we're preparing for life in the Championship.

Maybe this is how Palace progress. Bring in Monk, sack him after 4 months, new man comes in, signs 2/3 players and we survive. At least it's not boring.

Hungry, young and ambitious. Yes please. Hodgson only has a couple of years left in the tank but would be safe for a year or so.few good options out there. Was just warming to Allardyce but I think we were a stepping stone for him to earn a few quid and recover some credibility. Suited both parties but difficult to get too attached to him.

He has a touch of the "Pardews" in my opinion. When the going is good, it's great, but once a few defeats come around, he seems to go on a huge run of defeats.

It's a no from me.

Did well at Swansea and Leeds but not for me. Doesnt really have a network for signing players and dont think he would last long. His brother Harry helps him out with the most sticky situations.

It's when you add 'failure' to the adjectives that he suddenly becomes less attractive to a PL club in its fifth consecutive season.

Given that the current hierarchy have always favoured English managers then Garry Monk fits the bill. What concerns me is how at both Swansea and Leeds they were doing really well under Monk and then suddenly hit a brick wall and couldn't buy a win. As a previous poster said he sounds a bit too much like another Pardew to me.

When you think pillis, Pardew,Allardyce then Monk fits that mould. He is a British manager and that suits the Palace profile.

He did reasonably well with Swansea who have fallen away since he left and has done well at Leeds. I think the football would be attractive so all in all he rockets to the top of my wish list.

25/1 in the betting.

Take Allardyce out of that list and yeah, he's a lot like Pardew; when he goes on a losing run, he REALLY goes on a losing run. "Done well at Leeds"? They were competing for automatic promotion and failed to make the playoffs. We've must have more ambition than this surely?

I am very much of this thinking.

Monk? OMG. He would be s***e. Complete bottle job with Leeds promotion and his last spell in the Premiership with Swansea was f***ing shocking.

Monk could be going to Watford? (Just like any manager we might think of.)

I didnt say he was Pep. And I am not expecting Pep to rock up at Selhurst Park. Its just a question of the other managers who are available. I'm not overly impressed with the Silva. Correct me if I am wrong but I cant remember a foreign manager at Selhurst. So i really think he suits our profile. By the look of things Parish can see that too.

I am not saying that Mancini would not be a step up, if he is your preferred I can see that, but alongside the others he (Monk) stacks up well.

Not so convinced by Monk but as soon as I saw he resigned I put 2 and 2 together. Exactly the type of guy Parish would go for, simply on the basis he's british.

Think we've run out of lifelines now as if we do hire Monk that would clearly show Parish is unwilling to go for non British managers. If that's the case what British relegation savers are left for us to choose from.

I hate to sound like this but there's nothing wrong with that. I think it has been the Palace way and I would back Monk to do what Eddie Howe is doing at Bournemouth.

Just out of interest, why?

He's managed at 2 teams bigger than Bournemouth in both the championship and premier league and on neither occasion did what Eddie Howe is doing at Bournemouth.
