Don't want him. We can do better.

Name the better from whats available.

Not convinced by Monk - Swansea fans don't seem to rate him

Would prefer Silva, Warner or Jokanovic

But would strongly prefer Monk to (deep breath): Coleman, Woy, Giggs, Moyes, Mancini, Ranieri

"Wheels came off" at Swansea and he was sacked 2015-16 with only 3 league wins in their first 15 games.
But he did sign Sigurdsson.

I would be very happy with Monk.
The "bad run" was exaggerated, they had finished 8th under Monk the season before and Owners developed unrealistic expectations. They never looked in danger of relegation under Monk and Swansea went down hill after he was sacked and they have never been the same since.
Although I think they now finally have a good Manager in Paul Clement who would also be happy to have as manager.

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.

Come, come BW!

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.

I dont have a good answer for you. But given whats available if its not Mancini the rest are all just as suspect. Dont want Roy, nor Raineri, not convinced about Silva-out of whats available who would you say is clearly more worth taking a chance on? Or who is less of a chance?

There was some initial talk of Popovic, but that seems to have cooled off - apparently he's had a bad season - but he's deffo "one of us"

I think 1 or 2 Brighton fans must have sneaked on!

Don't think Gary Monk would be a good fit at Palace. He likes possession football and has always said he wont compromise on his preferred style of play. This may explain why he struggles to get out of losing runs when teams need a dirty win or two just to get some confidence back.

However, he might fit Parish's normal mantra of wanting a British manager with Premier League experience.

Is there really a stand out candidate? Every time a manager left or been sacked since promotion there's always been a firefighter to save our season. For me this is the biggest appointment under cpfc 2010 and the American investors.

With just over 300 votes so far, looks like Mancini is the favourite so far.
Gary Monk is now the bookies second favourite!

Always wary of managers who have been at big teams. It means they have had big budgets and there is always the possibility they look good because of the quality of players in their squads rather than their own ability.


Benitez has been with big teams but has done well at Newcastle on a limited budget

Agree on Monks style of play not suited to when the wheels come off and doesn't have a plan B

Saying that it's vital for our game I feel that we give British / English managers a chance to manage at this level , the only problem is the risk

Before Sam was appointed I thought that Monk might be a good fit but now it is a definite no from me.
I would be disappointed plus I do not think he will attract new players or get Wilf to sign a new contract

I quite like the guy and he did a decent job up to a point at Swansea, but he would hardly be a statement of intent, rather a statement of 'we're happy with more of the same' so it's a no thank you from me.

 

Cynic or realist? It's a fine line!
sa_eagle Flag Just outside Cape Town 25 May 17 3.46pm

If Monk is appointed we're telling the world we're happy with a bottom half finish and flirting with relegation.

Now appointing Mancini would be one hell of a statement about our intentions!

Can't believe everyone is so negative about Silva!

Hull were a basket case when he took over, then sold their best players in January and he turned them into a reasonable outfit. Had some ridiculous record of 40-odd home games unbeaten.

He is by far and away my first choice and I can't understand why people wouldn't want him. Sadly I think he'll choose Southampton over us (who could blame him)

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.

I agree, he isn't any good.
