Not the best, just my favourite. I think they are still looking for half a dozen 1980's Mitre Delta footballs he launched into orbit when shooting/passing/f***ing about and doing what fancied, as was his want. Whether his opinion regarding the managers position should carry any more weight than anyone else's is another matter. I would say possibly not, but it is good to hear from him.

Anyone that says Roy out needs to provide an obtainable alternative that is a step up, baring in mind our budget is 15th highest in this division. 12 players out of contract. Manager out of contract. This is a pivotal time

The candidates mentioned would either never accept the job or would not be a certain upgrade. Are we at the point that some supporters would rather just hire the boy that stocks the shelves at Sainsbury's to take over as manager so a change could be made for change's sake?

I reckon we are going to do a Fulham on it next season and get 7 or 8 loan players with an option to buy in with a few from the current squad and our accademy . look at Fulham and how much they have improved . A cunning plan .

One of the reasons that I would like to see a new manager next season is for a fresh pair of eyes to look at the squad including the younger players such as Banks and Dreher. I suspect on Saturday that Eze may not be selected if Schlupp and Zaha come back in.

Excellent post Patrick, The argument that managers have favourites or ignore certain players to suit a style is highly persuasive and can leave potential stars sidelined for large swathes of their careers.

I wouldn't be adverse to Lampard coming in (although I expect he won't.) He has a point to prove, seems like somebody with a lot of focus, likes to involve younger players, would help the attack minded players... I wouldnt expect him to tare the league up but he would be a fresh lease of life in the training department. It'd probably suit his family, the money situation would most likely be an issue.

If it was a case of a complete change in emphasis , and course, with a youthful team the aim. Lampard, would be fine by me. But I would not expect it to happen over night, and some spending would be involved, because there is no way, even allowing for some promise in the academy and under twenty threes that it would not need some quality signings to hold it all together.

If Fulham go down I wouldn’t be adverse to Scot Parker to replace Roy. I thought no he did a really good job at steadying the sinking ship at Fulham when they went down.

Funny how so many on here would be willing to have a manager that has overseen a relegation come to Palace. Howe being another. Irrelevant re SP I reckon - even if they do go down, I'm sure his job is safe.
