Surely the board know that if Roy stays on next season and with fans back in the stadium it would more than likely turn ugly. I can only see it going that way if he’s in charge next season . Roy is too stubborn.

I’m unsure now if he’s stays or goes. Will be very interesting to see what way the club go. The next 5 games will be crucial on the decision imo. If the team down tools like last season and we end up below Brighton surely he doesn’t continue.

If we just focus on the central defenders, we have 4 players in their 30's that we are asking to compete in a condensed season. Sakho and Tompkins have rarely managed to put a run of more than 4/5 consecutive games together .

With Dann and Cahill, I think it's ' battle fatigue '.

We need two new centre backs in the summer. I suspect Cahill and Tompkins or Dann, but not both, will be retained

Old, Ungifted and White

The way we have performed this season is not Roy's fault. He has done his job - again.
The fault lies with Parrish. Poor deal with Americans who don't have the money or inclination to invest and a continual short term policy of "just stay up".
There is no money for a new manager to go and blow on new players. They will be set up to fail. Contrast with say West Ham, or even Leeds. You need to invest and Parrish doesn't have the money. We need a magician and if he any sense any new manager will negotiate a contract that says that if he gets sacked for poor results (which is very likely) he is entitled to a full payout.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

a lot of people on here want Roy to leave , are these the same people who wanted Bat's at all cost ? Me I don't , didn't want either .
Yesterday on TV Chris Coleman seemed to know a lot about the Palace setup and everything around the club even down to knowing the academy players , positions , names etc . I was wondering if he is being set up to take charge next season ?

Players will be due back for pre season training in early July. I would me very surprised if Parish and Hodgson don't know the managerial plans for next season- they just haven't chosen to share the information.
The likelihood seems to be that Roy is going as there would be no reason not to announce it if he was staying.
It's not going to depend on the performances in the last few games.
From the club's standpoint there's not much to gain from making an announcement now other than to stop speculation.
There is also the possibility that the new manager is currently employed by another club which further complicates matters in terms of announcements.

Chris Coleman - heaven forbid
