OK, so from the many posts so far, a handful have lived in the real world long enough to suggest a replacement for the man they want sacked.

Suggestions include:

1. Internal appointment (Derry, McCarthy).
2. Thomas Tuchel. Last seasons losing champions league finalist.

and also

3. jeeagles grandmother.


I'm not sure which of these suggestions is most comical to be honest.

Look, I don't enjoy watching Palace grind out results playing anti-football, or getting stuffed when they even try to play a little, but thats the real world. We've hit the glass ceiling. This is as high as we can ever, ever get unless something big changes in the non-football side of the club.

The point I am trying to make is that there isn't a coach out there who can break that ceiling for us. Whoever we could get would be not produce a side any less flawed than Roy does - they may be flawed in different ways, but that's all.

If a established premier league team cant hire decent level managers we should just give up already then no f***ing point us there teams like Wolves Leicester ect have come up from the championship and shown ambition Southampton have continuously shown willingness to improve we never do but Parish talks a lot about it the snake oil c***.

Thomas Tuchel, Thomas Frank, Gerrard, Bilic, Poch, Benitez the list is endless.

Absolutely no chance of getting a single one of them apart from Bilic and maybe Frank.

How Bilic is an upgrade on RH I'm really not sure, and whilst Frank has done a good job in the championship, so did Freedman, and Holloway. They are both available if you like?

We aint at the ceiling of this club not even close to it we are the biggest club in our part of London with a new academy facilities and allegedly going to be upgrading the stadium ect we are the countries biggest under achiever in terms of potential let down constantly by poor ownership never seizing opportunities. We have had one of the most talented players in the league for 5 seasons straight and not built around him or gave him a reason to want to stay we are a f***ing joke.

Bilic took West Ham squad to 7th in the league he got west brom promoted with a s***e squad. They will go down even with Allardyce. If you seriously belive no manager could do better then 4 wins in 24 with this squad then you are daft. Hodgson has turned a 15 goal a season striker into a donkey a generational talent into a isolated striker who don't want to be here and has inspired nobody. Do you think players want to sign for Hodgson every ex player he had seems to hate him except Danny Murphy.

No you asked to name a Manager who could do better than Roy - that question has been answered.

Now your changing the goalposts and going on about whether they would come - not ours to determine or decide.

In any event we are a London premiership club of 8 years standing - and if we have aspirations to develop we should be looking for a quality replacement.

Not necessarily Tuchel but others have been mentioned Benitez, Gerard, Frank etc.. that you have chosen to ignore.

So your original question answered and point disproved..!!

Now perhaps your get off your high horse..!!

I'm not saying that nobody could ever do better, what I'm saying is that:

1. There isn't a manager alive who could take us to the mythical 'next level' until the club grows significantly off the field. Until then mid table is our lot, whoever gets us there, and using whatever methods.

2. You don't sack a manager without having someone lined up who is not a replacement, but also an improvement.

Bilic is a journeyman coach. I wouldn't object to his appointment if we already had a vacancy, but he isn't an upgrade on Hodgson.

Not unreasonable to ask for the suggestions to be realistic.
I don’t think our Mickey Mouse behaviour in recent transfer windows, want away owners or squad age will be lost on many.

 

The Dolphin Flag 26 Dec 20 10.30pm

Ask Eddie Howe to take over and move Roy upstairs.

I'm pretty sure I asked for feasible options, but even if I didn't I'd think its fairly obvious that's what we need.

Otherwise it's an easy game. I'll play the following hand:

Klopp, with Guardiola as assistant manager.

Any manager who can win more games then the current one is an upgrade how can you defend a man who plays 442 when we clearly don't have the players for it.

I'm not defending anyone. I'm pointing out that which should be obvious to anyone - you need an upgrade if you're going to change the manager otherwise its pointless sacking the one you have.

Doesn't seem like an unreasonable point to make.

I don't have a name of a manager off the too of my head but I'd put my neck on the line to say that I feel that a plethora of candidates could inspire greater play than what has been played in the last two games. Do I believe most managers could do better than the team selections of late, the very late subs which some would find bizarre and the lack of player rotation outside of our forever rotating and aging defence .... Yes.

Quite simply. Roy looks as lost as to what to do with this squad as he is for words of insight at a press conference as to what is failing.

We need a manager who's going to give the team a kick up the rear end and someone with a bit of guile to hit it home to the players that their attitude and their lack of composure and concentration isn't good enough.

Not a manager who is in the twilight of his managing career who looks worn out by crap play from players who aren't showing up.

I may not have a manager in mind but I'm damn sure I'm not the only one to feel this way.

We can pull managers names out of thin air but frankly its not our problem to come up with a hypothetical solution to a managerial s***house.

You’re the one asking the questions and suggesting there isn’t a Manager out there who could do better job.

As I said feasibility is for the club to determine/decide.

As others have said there are many, young and hungry Managers out there that could do a far better job than Roy with this squad.

Compare us and Southampton - difference a young, hungry and ambitious Manager - know one had heard of Hasenhüttl 2 years ago..!!

If Southampton can do it why not Palace?

Personally I think Thomas Frank would be an excellent and exciting appointment.

For me, this boils down to the difference between complaining and moaning.

If there are alternative coaches out there who would (on probability at least) both come to Palace and also improve the team, then saying 'Roy out' is a complaint against the club not acting.

Saying 'Roy out' whilst having no idea who he could be replaced with is just moaning.

I've plenty of time for the former (even if I think upgrading Hodgson is actually a harder task than many on here), but not much time for the latter.

 

Frickin Saweet Flag South Cronx 26 Dec 20 10.58pm

The succession planning for life after Roy should be fairly advanced now in as much that there should be dialogue between the club and candidates. The next couple of games are crucial and if things don't improve the board have to make a decision to bring the replacement in now, go for a caretaker, or pray that Roy can get enough points on the board to stay up. Each option has its own risks. If the Roy replacement is available there's a good argument to get them I sooner rather than later.

 

Casual Flag Orpington 26 Dec 20 10.59pm

If Roy and Ray go , I’ll only be happy if freedman goes with them. Otherwise it’s a no win.
-he takes over and we go down
-he takes over, we stay up and he gets the job full time
- a new manager takes over , freedman stays on and finds no fresh talent that we don’t already know about

Yes. I'm asking those who want Roy sacked exactly who they think he could be replaced by that would improve the side. And yes, I'm asking because it isn't obvious to me that there is a feasible option out there.

Frank has done well at Brentford, but not much more so than their previous coaches like Warburton or Smith. I tend think their results are more to do with them being a well run club with an established model (which is nothing like ours) than any great input from the coach.

In terms of results, he literally can't hold a candle to someone like Warnock, or the Serbian guy Watford and Fulham used to get promoted.

Agreed DF should go along with Roy and Ray.

 

Clive_ Flag 26 Dec 20 11.07pm

Iv watched this thread grow every time we loose a game. Iv Have had a season ticket for 25 years and remember on freezing December nights loosing to Grimsby town at home 3-0 and charlton. We've come on a hell of a way from there.
I'm one who sits on a fence on a lot of views but enjoy reading everyone's views and opinions and respect them so hope i don't get too much stick....
I might be a bit bias but know Roy and have spoken to him on many occasions after bad games and individual bad performances. And the consensus I got was he was there to be a political face in a multi billion game around the world where he is well thought of and highly regarded manager in football which has helped palace grow as a commercial asset. When I brought up players like benteke and Sakho it was almost like his answer was... I have to play them even if his body language told me he didn't want them anywhere near the team.
When he plays very solid defensive games and picks up points steadily he get ridiculed for boring football. So when he changes and trys the offensive game we get hit hard and look dreadful. But some times I think the players need to look harder and honestly at themselves. I understand he is the manager and should be able to motive the talented group of players we have. But if anyone actually watched the game today you would see how many mistakes the players made in the final 1/3. No matter how much coaching or good management... you expect every single professional footballer to make a pass to a team mate in offensive areas. We didn't do it once . And I read there were a little players out of position but once they cross that line they have to give it everything ifbthe wear that short we wish we could all wear so proudly but theae days money pays the bills and a lot ifbthe players just don't give a a toss.

Honestly I don't know what the answer is . I think as a tactically defensive coach Roy is up there as a top coach but I think the board have not supported him in bringing the players that he's actually wanted. He told me he desperately wanted 2 strikers 3 windows in a row and still the board didn't get who he wanted. I know when results don't honour waybthe manager is the one we all look at but we as a club are as good as we will ever be.. I am an ambitious guy and dream of winning the prem bit lets be real for a minute. I remember West ham fans hating bfs 6years ago but every year they stayed up in 'the promised land they in my opinion haven't improved but have spend 100s of millions . Does everyone remember when we got promoted how elated we were turning up watching our team play in the best league in the world buzzing every game even when we struggled. We need to get behind everyone at the club and some how create a buzz again i think we've all forgotten where we came from in 2010. I knowing hard but while he's in charge lets just support Roy. He really does have palaces best interests at heart .
