I want Lampard. We need to rebuild our squad with younger players and he needs to prove he can cut it in the prem. Could be the perfect fit. Chelsea was a massive task and a massive ask for him. Top 4 expectations, big money players and big egos to match. But Palace will be a different proposition. Mid table safety and some exciting football will be deemed a success.
We wont get a big name proven prem manager. So lets not settle on another bottom feeding, survival specialist, defensive dinosaur.
It will not be without risk and he will need financial backing but we are Palace (super Palace), we have some exciting kids coming through the academy and we need to get the magic back to Selhurst.
The second Frank could be the right Frank.

Let's hope it's not Frank N Stein

Only in their local one,s dropping their wives/partners off to do the shopping (although I suspect they get their groceries delivered in hampers from shops in Knightsbridge etc.)

Are the rumblings at Burnley a sign we may get SD?

No, doesn't fit Parish's long term youth set up

When Lampard got the boot from Chelsea there was a lot of noise about disharmony in the squad which does call into question his man management skills. For a club our size it is vital to have a good team spirit as often that is called upon when our opponents have overwhelmingly better players. One thing you could say about Roy is that rarely did you hear noises about disquiet in the squad. That is a similar trait of Dyche who has spoken about the importance he and his team place on team building and getting the right personalities into the squad.

Ultimately the decision will likely be weighted according to how Parish wants to take the club forward. Dyche, to my mind, would be evolution continuing on from the work Roy has done, whereas a Lampard or a Howe would be a revolution. As painful as it may be to do so, you look at how Brighton have changed from a pragmatic Hughton team to Potterball and you can see it is feasible, but it does take some significant investment. Given 12 players are out of contract this summer maybe we are going to see a revolution? With Dyche being coy and no one else giving much away who bloody knows! Whoever it is will have my support, even if it's John Terry

Managing a big club with many expensive players and egos, takes a certain type of manager. It doesn’t mean if you fail at big club you are a bad manager, recent examples Roy at Liverpool and Moyes at Utd. Both have gone on to have successful periods, they are more comfortable not dealing with big egos. Jury out on Lampards ability, but he seems the best option.

You think 13 games constitutes Legendary status, maybe in your own mind, but nobody else’s.

My theory is that the new man will be announced early next week as he will need to pick who he would like to keep before contracts run out at the end of June.
Those players will then be offered terms which they may or may no accept.
Parish will likely want and need to reduce the wage bill and given that Benteke, Wickham, Sakho, Townsend, Cahill and Wilf alone are costing us approx. £500,000 a week then, other than Wilf, the rest will have to accept far lower wages if they stay.
I strongly suspect the new man will be asked to operate on a maximum wage set up where that figure is very low by Premier League standards - £50k/week perhaps?
That together with bringing youth through will be our way forward.
Our aim will be to finish out of the relegation zone - no more than that - with a view to building for a brighter and leaner future.
Is Lampard capable of managing that?
If Wilf stays then anyone has a chance and he will be the only salary buster - if he goes and with Eze possibly sidelined for a while then all bets are off.
I am not a lover of Dyche but he has the experience and the thick skin to do all of the above.
