I honestly think Steve Parish has got this wrong sacking Vieira is a panic sacking the last 12 games have not produced the results and the statistics don’t make good reading I understand that. Over the last 12 games we have played mostly top teams losing by a fine margin of 1:0 in each only Man Utd scored 2 against us and one was I believe an own goal.Reading on here we were all basically honest with some of the results against the top clubs. At the end of the day it the manager who takes the responsibility for the results again I understand that and maybe Vieira could have been a little more adventurous with team section . Possibly calling back some of our loan outs. But this board knew our weakness we have been crying out for squad strengthening for ages we have needed a striker for months and nothing was done even a loan would have been something in January. The board wouldn't spend and that will ultimately be our and their downfall. Ironically, we may still build a new stand to accommodate the 12,000 to 16,000 supporters who will turn up to watch Palace in the Championship. PL status is hard won and earned. Once lost it may be years before we see it again. So much for the new era under Veira!!!

I agree with that analysis. The loss of Gallagher was a huge blow and the never ending list of high-table opponents has given us a skewed vision of the season. Having written that, PV's man management, odd selections and strange substitutions have proved to be not small issues. It's timing that worries me most. i read one report that the timing is Vieira's own doing. Was gonna be in charge v Arsenal but went off grid yesterday (apparently he has done a few times in past few weeks) and club decided he's not up for the relegation fight.

I have to admit one frustration I had with PV was a mysticism that came across as ambivalence very often. As a fan you want to have some affinity with the manager and feel aligned however his aloof nature didn’t endear me as much as i tried. When times are tough as they are, you want the manager to reflect your own ‘call to arms’ or at least acknowledge the situation.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

We have lost games by 1 goal that we never looked liked getting anything from or even scoring a goal. We are shockingly bad and he would not change his approach. We lost 3 nil to an Everton side who were getting battered every week. We robbed a point against Newcastle and Brighton and the league had to apologise to them because of the errors. We are blessed to not be rooted to the foot of the table. Our squad is our squad and he knew who is players were so no point saying he was hard done by in transfer window. He is the wrong man for the job and would have led us to relegation.

Ange Postecoglu would be my choice. We could get him if we really tried and then raid Celtic in the summer Let's hope they're all as good as Edouard eh ?

If Roy is taken on even temporarily that will be the last of my money Palace see until he is gone. The last year and a half of his tenure with us and then the brief stint at Watford tells you all you need to know. He is a dinosaur in modern day football and his tactics are as old as some of his post match cliche comments. It’s a resounding no from me. I agree with you. As much as I supported him when he was here, I firmly believe his managerial days are over. We don't want more negative, out of date tactics. We need fire and brimstone!

I actually preferred his football to this seasons. We are currently abysmal. At least we had some form of hope under Roy.

Of course he's not. Burnley will be in the Premier League next season. Our Board is doing everything it can to ensure we are not.

Surely not Roy!. I was a huge supporter of his when most folk on here were putting the knife in, but he has had his time. We need fresh ideas and a strong personality who can read the riot act to namby-pampy footballers. But please not Lampard or Gerrard, their past experiences are less than encouraging. Personally I like the idea of Shaun Derry coming in for the rest of the season at least. If we are going stop gap then he might be in with a shout but think it would be more likely an internal appointment in Paddy and Dougie etc. If we are looking for a longer appointment then obviously they must be willing to manage in the Championship should we be relegated. Think this would preclude most of the choices touted here. Personally think we could be looking at the former than the latter. Knows the players we have to get us out of this mess and time is not on our side. Whoever comes in, let's hope they can get a tune out of the squad, particularly in attack.
