It wouldn't surprise if the plan was to stick with Hodgson till the end of the season and then try and get Southgate in.

I share this fear!
I think England would have won a trophy had Klop or Mancini been in charge. The thought of caution first - boring pointless possession for the sake of it football might actually see me self combust!

Jon Dahl Tommason is about quit Blackburn apparently. He has done really well with the limited resources he had. Would please Wharton no end if he joined him at Palace.

I'm not convinced they are the only managers available. That being said, if it was to be a manager from this list you could filter them down quite a bit.

First of all get rid of former managers as we don't want to go backwards. And one of them is a complete w***er.

Sam Allardyce
Steve Bruce

Next you can get rid of the managers who are patently completely unrealistic.

Jose Mourinho
Antonio Conte

Then you can get rid of the dross.

Frank Lampard
Jesse Marsch
Roy Keane
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Then there's the people on the list who are actually employed elsewhere.

Andre Villas-Boas
Rafa Benitez

Anyone who isn't going to put up with our transfer strategy having previously managed big spending clubs.

Hansi Flick
Graham Potter
Lucien Favre
Laurent Blanc
Julen Lopetegui

Not progressive enough / game has left them behind.

Chris Hughton
Claude Puel

And you're left with a fairly uninspiring list.

Steve Cooper
Javi Gracia
Ralph Hassenhuttl
Paul Heckingbottom.

Would definitely take Cooper. Wouldn't mind Gracia on an 18 month deal.

Are we definitely sure he wouldn't though....?
Quoted as liking our club.
Quoted as loving London.
Needs to restore reputation in England.

Perhaps some of our problems this season (and previously), ie long term injuries to many of our players, are due to errors of judgement by the CPFC medical team? Ie the advice - which must have seemed strange to Roy and other coaches - that Olise was ok to play "some minutes" of a second half? Did they just mean 5 minutes at the end of the game, not a full 45 minutes after half-time?? Whatever the case they and Roy, and apparently Olise as well got it all very wrong.

Of the list Jose would be brilliant. It would be a rollercoaster of emotion, the football closer to Royball, the HOL exploding and it all ending up in tears. However, we may at last end up with a trophy. Very much the Palace way.

Being more sensible, I would not be averse to appointing Hasenhuttle. He joined Southampton when they were in the relegation zone, dug them out and lasted four years before a bad run led to his demise. Probably only a two year appointment but not high risk.

Hasenhuttl would very much encapsulate the current state we're in for me. That could go either quite well or very badly. With Roy, we know it is and probably will continue to go quite badly.

 

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
