Hi Steve

As much as I rated Houghton at Newcastle, he did inherit a premier league squad with playes like Barton, Nolan and Guitterez.

I don't envy the decision you have to make about a new manager, but hope that Coppell is given due consideration as he would lift everyone at the club

But he has already said that had we won and played well today, Burley may not have been sacked. So he wouldn't have had a chance to do it before today, he can't approach a manager and say look, ours is having a rough time, can you be on stand by for a few months because it would get out into the press and destroy the dressing room. Equally, it's stupid to keep him in his position while 2010 talk to new managers, because when burley asks for money to spend on targets, Parish either has to back him or say he won't be here next week! Which would also hit the dressing room hard.

Ray Bloye...Ron Noades...Mark Goldberg...Simon Jordan. Have you ever had a job where so little was required to be a massive improvement on your predecessor?

Hi Steve, a tough day all round but necessary actions taken.

if possible, I would like to know whether the directors were split over this decision and when the doubts over George's future started to surface?

Also, to second the question over the intended appointment future of the new manager (until the end of the season or long-term)

was it just the matchday you were not satisfied with or did it run to training aswell?

Tune in to Palace Radio for all your matchday action.

Now I didn't want to suggest this but he did say he wanted to be here for 2012. Surely we can get Jose in

Ah well
