I think I may be correct in saying that no EPL manager had any experience of the EPL until they got a job at an EPL club. Some do better than others but who is to say Vieira isn't going to fall in the Wenger, Klopp, Pep, Potch, Rogers camp.

I have Googled this and you are correct.

I also found this interesting statistic about Patrick Vieira - no team he has managed has ever been relegated from the EPL!

If Vieira become manager he will be the only black manager in the prem. As we morph to a darker shade as a nation, Palace are right up there leading the conversion in football. Especially if we are taken over by the likes of Thierry Henry and his conglomérate of ex black players. Interesting times. Wonder if this will happen?


What colour are they now?

He is 72 and has had health issues but has said he is not retiring. Has worked with Mancini, Lombardo and PV during his time at City.
Welcome Kiddo

Some mangers EARN their Premier league place by grafting in the Championship and gaining promotion.

Indeed. Well spotted if a little unkind mocking the afflicted. When using a preposition with and adjective one must always remember to place the preposition after the adjective and immediately before the noun!

So now you are complaining that PV doesn’t have any CHAMPIONSHIP experience?!!!

Wenger, Klopp, Pep etc didn’t have ANY experience of English football even as players. At least PV has that!

I always remember him being awful at Blackburn but a quick check of Wiki tells us he followed a certain R Hodgson.... uh oh #historyrepeatingitself:

Kidd left United to take charge at Blackburn Rovers in December 1998, replacing Roy Hodgson who had been sacked after Blackburn's poor start to the season left them in the relegation zone. Despite Kidd having a promising start with Rovers, which saw him voted Premier League Manager of the Month and having also spent nearly Ł20 million on new players in his first four months in charge he was unable to save them from being relegated from the Premier League (just four years after being champions) and Kidd was dismissed on 3 November 1999 with Rovers standing 19th in Division One.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

It’s difficult to know how much input Kidd, has had at Cty, but surely his best work before his period there was the work he put in to Unt,s
fantastic youth set up producing a stream of high class talent.

72 years of accumulating and sharing football knowledge. I think the idea that the ability to impart that kind of knowledge ends when one approaches or gets to that age is rubbish.

Forgive my ignorance but I always assumed Nuno Espirito Santo was black.

I don't care a toss what colour the new manager's skin is.

What matters is - can he do a job by leading us to higher things? Who knows?

But Vieira's CV is underwhelming and I have a nasty feeling this could be another of Parish's risky gambles, perhaps on a par with Frank de Boer.

If Parish knew Hodgson was leaving why on earth did he not have plans A, B & C in place ? He had enough time but now it all seems like pathetic desperation.

At the moment 9/4 to be relegated seems reasonable.

^^THIS^^
i'd have thought somebody wouldve been lined up.
although maybe he was & the bugger blew us out , late notice before the current scramble started?
If PV falls through, id guess nail on Dougie taking charge.

Er…he clearly did.

Plan A - Nuno
Plan B - Favre
Plan C - Patrick Vieira

Spurs, Everton and Fulham have only just announced their new managers we seem still on track to announce ours very soon too.

As for PVs CV - I agree he doesn’t have Juergen Klopp’s managerial record as someone else has pointed out nor did Juergen when he started. And of course we are not Liverpool.
