The football under Hodgson was absolutely dire and was making me lose my love of watching Palace. Sometimes in life you have to hit the gamble button and take a bit of a punt. Vieira might not be everyone’s first choice but I think it’s a very bold and a brave choice. Funnier things have happened than him being a raving success and we may well be rewarded. There will be a freshness next season at least so let’s all get behind him!! &#129413;

We are a premier league club so I'm a little confused what would make Steve Parish go for Patrick. He hasn't had much managerial experience or done anything that would make you think he would be great at Palace. I think I'd prefer Dougie Freedman who knows the club and showed us he could find a good transfer considering we need a lot of players in. I love Palace and if Viera is our manager I'll obviously back him all the way but I'm just baffled by this appointment to be honest...

all good points, other than your last one.

If Vieira is confirmed as our new manager he will definitely not start with 3 CBs as FdB did.
Under BFS i thought we played some shocking football at times. The occasional good results shouldn't overshadow that


FdB played 3 at the back, but using 1 CB, along side a 20yo right back and 20yo a midfielder, neither had played a premiership game. It was the combination of the two factors that made it insane.

Slightly off topic and don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, but does anybody know who acts as agent for Vieira?
The agent is likely to have a number of players on the books and we are clearly in need of recruitment.
In recent years the likes of Lille has produced some very good players.

Pat in; Wilf out; Palace down.

I am generally one of the half full crowd, but I have never been more pessimistic than if this appointment is confirmed.

I am often wrong and hope I am this time. But this has all the hallmarks of a brave experiment.

I'm like you silvertop. Generally optimistic. With my health record I have to be.

Don't want to say too much yet, because I started to get keen on the last two names in the frame and then look what happened.

The only comment from me right now is that PV has a better control of the English language than LF. At least that should work in his favour.

Were you able to keep hold of any of those straws you clutched?

Looks like AFP. Batshuayi is also a client of theirs.

You're right, it does feel a bit like that!

PV was well down my list of expected candidates.

If he does have the job, the sooner he applies himself the better. There's a bit of a mess to sort out.

I wonder if it'll make Wilf reconsider?

Whatever the best of luck to PV - we'll need it.

 

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Do we want him though? There were a lot on here saying he should go so we could use the sale money to buy new players.

Anyhow, you're jumping the gun to wish PV luck. There's still been no official announcement.

I'd like Wilf to stay. He's really good at football.

Of all the names mentioned along the way this is the worst.

Cooper is talented, so is Ismael, Howe, Wilder, Dyche has Premier League experience, even Lampard has.

Knowing Roy would eventually retire, Palace have had more time for planning than most other clubs. Still we end up in chaos.

The lack of competence in this area in our club is nothing less than shocking!

On the positive side Vieira will most likely be gone nearly as soon as de Boer - eg after 0 points in the 5 opening games - and BFS comes in saving us (again), playing decent football (again).


I agree totally with your comments.

There's lots to sort out but you just know they'll faff about until the window closes. We'll drag ourselves along in the bottom four until end January, and then miss out again.

Crystal_Clear Flag Belfast 30 Jun 21 6.12pm

Absolutely anyone coming into Palace is on a loser straight from start.

Multiple players out of contract
An aging squad
No Eze for 6 months
Wilf wants out again
Limited transfer funds

That's why Favre turned us down rather than his polite excuse to have more time out of the game.

I am hoping Vieira can use his Arsenal connections to help get players in. I am quite prepared to give him a chance if he definately comes in.

I cant possibly think he can be as bad as some previous managers. Alan Smith being the absolute worst in my memory.
