Benitez for me too ,but don't imagine we could afford him and he would want a big budget.

Given the choice, I’d rather we did over Brighton. I’ve been ‘Roy Out’ for a while now but in all honesty that is (in my mind only) a logical stance relative to our situation as it stands now. I don’t think any nostalgia can really be afforded in football but by the same token would never look to discount or refuse acknowledgement that RH has kept us up for numerous seasons and at the end of the day it’s an achievement that warrants respect if not high praise. If we lose miserably on Monday however, and this were to be true, I’d probably be minded to side with anything other then what we’ve seen all too often especially without Zaha, and that is us looking unlikely to ever score let alone compete in or win a game.
Could be a big risk doing it now with a manager like Howe not known for his defensive qualities.

Pulis didn't do too bad with the Championship squad he inherited from Holloway. I note that Hodgson has yet to better Pulis' finish despite having four opportunities to do so and his so called "best squad". What you say is true, however it does not take away the fact that this squad of players currently available are just not good enough or are well past their sell by dates for this league and remember Pullis walked away because of lack of transfer funds being made available, something Roy has never done or even threatened to do. Roy although not perfect has largely been responsible for keeping us in this premier league for the last 4 years without significant team investment and in by doing so has been able to earn this club considerable income. How that money has been spent is down to Parish!

That is the key issue in attracting a manager with the necessary skills, this squad currently needs considerable investment in new blood and no manager with the skills we would like to attract here is going to come to a club that is not prepared to spend money on new players and who have investors (Americans) who have made no secret that they are only interested in getting out and not in the future of the club. Replacing Roy is not going to be easy!

This must be a trick question. If Eddie Howe's priority is Champions League football he will go for Celtic.

Bookies have Steve Clarke as clear favourite now with Howe drifting away. Personally I wouldn't think Celtic fans would want a young English manager with no major honours to come in to try and save their club. Benitez sounds like a good shout, but could they afford his wages or be able to back him the market? Rafa I would imagine be interested to the size and history of Celtic and the opportunity to play in Europe again (where he thrives). Celtic haven’t any money, no way they could afford Benitez. I hope they get Howe, so we don’t get lumbered with him. He would be a disaster at Palace.
