Many other managers could also get us enough points to get us over the line this season. Why settle for the crap Roy is currently serving up every week until then?

Let's give a new guy a chance and give all the players a shot in the arm.

As I have said he is not the only one. He is however the only present Manager and without knowing the facts most of that record would be under Roy’s tenure I would imagine taking into account he’s the longest serving manager we’ve had in the PL.

Anyone at the moment.

I think we should break the bank for Benitez.

If not Dyche, Howe, Coleman, Wagner, Franks, Cooper, Freedman, Cahill, Lampard, Terry, Blanc, Parker, Gerrard, Pearson, Shakespeare, Carrick plus loads of others.

I know all of them have question marks, but there is an issue that Premier League management jobs go to a small circle of managers with experience but have failed on a number of occasions like Bruce, Hughes, Hodgson, Pullis, Pardew etc. The list of jobs some of them have had are a real slap in the face to other managers who've never been given an opportunity.

We've got 29 points. They only need 9 from 14 games. If they are pants swap again at the end of the season and we are in a no worse position that where we currently are.

Almost gives us two bites of the cherry to find a replacement if we do it early. Who ever we pick is only likely to last two years before they either get sacked or a bigger club poaches them.

With seemingly so few candidates out there for a club in our position and with our resources, that will always be the question when Roy does go. Thankfully that isn’t a decision for us fans. Maybe we ‘ll just hang on to Roy until he chooses to jack it all in or Palace drop so far down the league that it should be easier to find a suitable replacement.

And over to Selhurst Park where manager Roy Hodgson celebrates his 90th birthday as Crystal Palace welcome today’s visitors Accrington.

"Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."
Mark Twain.

Well I think Hodgson can deliver the points we need and my guess is that Parish thinks so too.

Last thing we need, and I really don't see it happening, is to make change managers twice.

I don't think the majority of the names you propose are realistic in many cases. I would say more than just question marks !

Old, Ungifted and White

Shakespeare would make an excellent manager, that speech in Henry V is the stuff of legend!
Compare that to some duffer going on about an astronaut and a monkey.
