This is a fair point but it’s also the reason we should be appointing a manager on individual merit as opposed to sentiments such as PL experience or nationality. Just because Warnock was a good manager but not so good PL manager doesn’t equate to the same with Cooper or Ismaël. And when you take Ismaël, he certainly ticks a lot of boxes for what we require.

We're the Arthur over ere!

So far I’ve read;
- Lampard has been spotted at the training ground
-Howe is buying a house in the area
- Cooper’s agent was at the home game against Arsenal
- Negotiations have been ongoing with Nuno for 3 days
- Freedman’s choice would be Ismael.
Take your pick.

Will be funny if it ends up being Dyche - who hasn’t been spotted at the training ground, at nearby estate agents or in negotiations with the club!

I have little confidence ,in the club taking anything other than an enormous risk whoever they bring in. As far as credibility for working successfully in the Premier league is concerned, there is always far more failure than success to choose from.
At least the Championship offers a number of clean sheets, But I would back Lampards so called failure over any of the other candidates, outside of Nuno. He isn’t the finished article, and the Chelsea, job came to soon, but he has shown if it’s an attacking style you want he could deliver. The problem being if these pages are anything to go by, the shout was . We can’t watch anymore of this. But now it’s back to who can just keep us in the league. Only Dyche, appeals if that’s the case, and I don’t see him as a certainty, mainly because there is nothing certain about Palace, other than uncertainty.

Stating Benteke has been given a new contract, if correct then would this mean our new manager is here already waiting to be announced?

It's official check the Benteke thread.

One more point

Its all gone very quiet on the manager front , still no white smoke . though i do find it a bit strange that Ben has been given a 2 year extension . What if the new manager doesnt want him and wants to bring in his own striker. Its all Smoke And Mirrors .
