I'll freely admit after Big Sam left I qs hoping we would get in an up and coming prospect, young with fresh ideas, forward thinking who would see Palace as a desirable chance to make a name for themselves. I felt Pelligrino and Marco Silva were real contenders and Toy felt underwhelming when his name came up in the discussion. I will put my hands up and admit I couldn't have been more wrong. I do feel a bit cheated by FdB in that he promised a gradual evolution of our playing style but this is not what he delivered.

I hope Roy stays for a few years. A radical thought would be to get a young manager, maybe from the lower leagues and offer him assistant manager role to learn from Roy, mold him into our way of doong things. Even more tadical would be to tben 'loan' him out to a lower league club as there manger. Wonder what the rules are on this sort of practice?

Agree 100%. I can't see Woy in the premier league again let alone at Palace. More chance of him pushing the trolleys at Sainsbury's

I have no desire to see Benteke taking corners, thank you very much. I hope de Boer can get his s*** together because none of the alternatives are very attractive. Freedman or Woy? FFS. Actually of course we'd probably end up with both.

If we sack FDB after 3 games and get Hodgson, we'll be a total laughing stock.
