Where does that sit with your hunch that Hughton was lined up before Burley was sacked?

The Three Twerps were one twerp short... again!

Can anybody please tell me why so many are happy with Eddie Howe. At 33 he should still be playing. He has no experience, and experience is what we need at the moment. We need a name that can attract good players. I have no doubt the he could be a great manager in, but we dont have time. There are enough good experienced managers available at the moment. We've missed out on Phil Brown, but, Paul Jewel, Big Sam, Alan Curbishly, Gareth Southgate, Chris Coleman, Ray Wilkins are just a few. I would prefer Dougie Freedman to get the job over Eddie Howe. Or is it the same old thing. We will NOT pay the wages for players or managers of any quality. DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've read the howe interview and reading between the lines i think his coming to us,be interesting to see if he claps the cherries fans arfter the plymouth game which is a deffo sign of thank you and goodnight,if howe does come maybe we can play them in a friendly next season as a good will gesture. ps heard hougton and sousa were interviewed yesterday,please please not sousa,his bad mouthed our club and it would p**s alot of our fans off if he got the job including my good self.would love hougton to get the job should howe turn us down.

It's all in this thread. To summarise, and to address your point that 'we don't have time' - Eddie Howe first took over at Bournemouth just over two years ago. They had such a small squad that their 41 year old assistant manager was on the bench with a couple of youth players each week - and they usuall had only three or four subs in total

On top of this, they had -17 points having gone into adminstration.

Howe kept them up, then won automatic promotion the next season, and they are now third in League 1. Where exactly was the delay in his success?

The Three Twerps were one twerp short... again!

Burley had experience and look what happened there...

Southgate, Coleman have experience of f**king teams up thats it...

Do you honestly think Curbishly or Big Sam would even consider coming to Palace?

Ray Wilkins has experience as a coach not a manager...

I think Howe will be a very good move for us, really hope we can get him in.

Fair enough you have your opinion, but do me a favour and have a look at what he's achieved with the Cherries and then tell me you'd prefer Ray Wilkins etc. Eddie Howe's achievements with Bournemouth are nothing short of miraculous. The mans a motivator, just what a struggling team needs, a large dose of confidence/motivation. Our team has some fantastic players, just seems they need organising and an arm over the shoulder. Not that I'm saying a few extra additions won't be welcomed.
