Would definitely be a different strategy going with De Boer i personally would like a foreigner in charge at palace and his record with ajax is definitely very good so would love him at palace out of him and Rainer I would go with de Boer but would like a different style of play and a continental style you never know he might get us in the top 6

Interesting rumour this one! Not sure "possession" football is suited to us and don't think the old possession stats really mean anything if you keep losing every week - as we all saw under AP.

Dynamic, disciplined , hard working pressing game is How I like us to play so I'm not that enthused by this - although the "football Philosophy " link was interesting the slow build up from the back element enhanced my doubts about de Boer. Possession football only works when you have superior players. The top six will
More often than not prevail and the likes of us end up expecting to lose to them. We showed against Chelski, Arswipe and Liverpool that we can match anyone for hard work, desire , passion and discipline and the odd flash of brilliance. As a long suffering Palace fan I live for these results and get so much from them. I am concerned that a dramatic change of styles would see the end of such results!

This says Dyche not yet approached - pity

But a short list of Ranieri, de Boer and Pellegrino is pretty amazing. I remember whne I thought Holloway was a great catch!

So so bored with this now.

Don't think SP knows what he wants.

It's a difficult one. When do we develop our style like stoke and Southampton have. I think it's a myth that we can only survive in the prem , playing one way. Whilst I think it would be ludicrous to rip up big Sam solid structure, if a de Boer can add flair and bit of possession to the current side. Then we developing into a top half side. I remember Parish mentioned that the top half sides don't have 25-45% possession.
