Hi, and thanks for coming online on what must have been an incredibly difficult day with all those involved at Palace. We have never had such a communicative owner(s) before and it is greatly appreciated.

1) Have you got a replacement in mind and when will he be officially appointed?

2) Will you be looking at a new fitness team behind the scenes, or any new coaches?

3) Will Dougie retain his place?

4) How long had you been considering replacing Burley?

5) Was the decision to let him go unanimous?

6) Will we still be looking to bring in 5 more players?

You sure as hell couldn't put him on a tall list.

Good evening Stevie P
Happy New Year to you and Yours!

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to answer our questions, how many fans of other clubs get an opportunity like we are experiencing now?

There have been rumours lately about us loosing some of our great academy prospects to other clubs to raise funds: Scannell to Watford, Cadogan to Southampton(where is he?) Clyne to Birmingham and Zaha to Liverpool or Fulham? Is there any truth in any of these rumours, would be a real shame if true!

Sorry mate, I stand corrected. Google him and the first thing that comes up is Houghton.....I mean Hughton ;0)

Steve - did Burley lose the dressing room at any point? Was your desicion in any way swayed by key players such as Speroni, Danns, Ambrose? Also how was the relatioinship between Dougie and George: Was Dougie ever really George's choice as assistant?

Hark now hear the Palace sing!
