which contacts? Contacts to spent bloody millions on unproven foreigners? Chuck unlimited money at things and we all can get a squad. But if you look at who Silva got in for Hull I would say that proves he has a much, much better eye for that side of the game then Ranieri. We stayed up because Sam got Luka and Sakho in. Getting Luka is not about contacts, its about football knowledge, knowing what a team needs, set your sights on realistic targets rather then buy blind and spent money on "names". Hence Mancini would be an awful choice.
A lot of people seem to think we have a natural place in mid table with the squad we have, but while there is quality there is no depth whatsoever, and one might argue that we were overall rather lucky with injuries last season. I know we lost Souare and a bunch of CB at the end, but imagine if either Benteke of Wilf would have ended up seriously injured.

Surely Raniere should be considered.

He knows the prem and has the contacts.

I'll be disappointed if either are appointed; apart from anything else, it would show a tragic lack of ambition.

Completely agree. Roger Schmidt appears to be available. Led RB Salzburg to two titles, led Levurkusen to 3rd and 4th place finishes and is fluent in English. Expressed a desire to want to manage in the PL. Why we aren't all over this, I'll never know.

I think Silva would be a great appointment but reports seem to suggest his off to Watford.

You might think Raniere spent untold cash but in that winning side he got the best out of Wes Morgan and one or two others who played in the championship.

Silva worked wonders at Hull and I believe he could be the he next big thing.

If where going for now it should be Raniere.

If where going for now and the future it should be Silva.

At Leicester he spent a total of approx £95 Mill if all the add-ons kick in.
Apart from Kante, I don't belive any of the others were major influences ie Kapustzka, Musa,Inler,Ndidi,Mendy,Benalouane etc etc.

There are quite a few out of work.
Which one would you want of the following ? :

McClaren, Di Matteo, Ranieri, Pearson, Pearce, Moyes, Mancini, Hodgson, Hiddink, Clarke, Adkins, McLeish, Hoddle, Van Gaal, Zola, Silva etc etc.

Edited by Willo (27 May 2017 8.38am)

Out of that lot Raniere, Silva and Hoddle.

Judging from paper talk, Silva is headed to Watford.

Still think the rumour mill is a mile off and bookie odds reflect punters a lot more than intelligent analysis of the market. The Hodgson speculation is based on his being a Palace youth player. How many years ago was that?

I think there are candidates out there that are flying under the radar. Big Sam supposedly made a recommendation that very few seem to have noticed.

Should be interviewed in my opinion.

Brilliant manager and knows the game inside out and is tactically very good.

The last good manager England had.

The idea that Dyche won't attract big names is farcical. Footballers talk and Dyche is well known now for being a very good coach.

Plus, at the end of the day money and location play a more important role in acquiring players. As a London club we're lucky with location.

Can't believe people writing off Dyche as an option. If his name was Roberto DiDychio we'd be falling over ourselves to get him.

Yes yes yes

I think he's shunned management in recent years, but would imagine he might enjoy the Palace project and working for Parish.

Great idea

There is a good reason, he currently not employed as a manager.
Last seen contributing to QPRs dismal Premier season with Harry.

Don't think he has managed a team for over 10 years.
Maybe he is just not interested in going back into management.
He has his Academy in Spain - perhaps this is what he wants to do, NOT back in any dugout ?

I don't give a flying what the name of the next manager is or where he comes from; it's totally irrelevant. But a "very good coach" doesn't pick up just seven points away from home. His reputation seems to largely result from his being able to be promoted, relegated and promoted again; I'd prefer to appoint someone who won't be relegated in the first place. There's no evidence that he would attract big names, or more importantly, be able to manage the ones we have. He's a decent manager who's shown, and been rewarded with, loyalty at one club. He's not what we should be looking for in our fifth season.

Which big names do you think Burnley players speak to?

Palace players won't have played any matches under him before we need to sign players so how credible is their recommendation?

I definitely hope we'll be casting our net a little wider than Burnley and Leeds.

People say he failed at QPR.

He was director of football so doesn't count.

I think he can still do a job.Steve Parish is in Spain.Glenn Hoddle spends a lot of time in Spain so who knows.they may of chatted.
