To replace Hodgson as I don't think he's going to be at Palace next season...would anyone want Jose if he was available?

Chris Wilder seems to have had success wherever he goes and each step up he has shown his ability to adapt. You imagine he would also have good knowledge of the football league and Championship. The fact Sheffield United is his boyhood club could be a stumbling block.

Personally I'd prefer to put a wedge in the revolving managerial door if possible, provided Roy's prepared to stay. I favour the suggestion, made elsewhere, for Roy to begin training a successor in preparation for his eventual departure.

With the exception of the old war horses, who've saved our arse in the past few seasons, success elsewhere is no guarantee of success at Palace. Plus I'm not sure if I could countenance any more weeks and weeks of Parish navel gazing over a 'shortlist' of 30 names, whilst sailing around the Mediterranean.

Howe and Bournemouth are joined at the hip, he is in his comfort zone there. He went to Burnley and failed probably because he went from a wonderful lifestyle in Dorset to the sh*thole that is Burnley and couldnt cope. I think he will stay at Bournemouth as long as they want him.

I would expect Roy to stay until the end of his contract period, which is the end of 2019/20 season.

I can't see the point in speculating over a vacancy that doesn't exist , my opinion

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Very wise words.

When the time comes, then there will be a clearer picture as to the potential possibilities to replace him.It is folly and indeed premature to engage in such discussion at this juncture.
