Nul points at Eurovision and can’t persuade a foreign coach to take the job. I blame Brexit…. and that arseh*le we have for PM.
Ah well back to the drawing board! DF and SP should park the search for a week and start handing out contracts to any players we want to keep. At this rate we will struggle to name our 25 when the season starts! But then again maybe we’ll just let the kids play next season. We’re pretty much f*cked anyway

Yes, I'm pretty sure you can't formally interview a manager who is already in a job without permission from their employer. We may have had talks off the record, but that's a whole different ball game. I'd be ok with Dyche. He knows how to get the best out of a limited squad and would likely be more committed than a big name manager like Nuno or Favre. Burnley have just spend £12m on Collins though, so maybe he is finally being financially backed at Burnley; if he is then I can't see him jumping ship. Also, there was talk in the press a while back that Parish was not interested in him anyway. Possibly because Dyche might struggle to move from a club where he has all the control to one where he doesn't.

Whatever anyone thinks of the players being out of contract, I think this is surely attractive for a potential new manager. It strikes me as media/clickbait hysteria rather than logical thinking that this is a problem. Although I know nothing of the clubs financial structures, not being tied to paying the likes of Wickham, VA, Sakho, Kelly, Hennesesy and Townsend (and having already released Mayer) must be a positive; there must be the opportunity for a manager to stamp his own mark on the team. Benteke who might have been a sought after asset was quickly tied down, the others are understandably not.
Whilst I agree that this process has become a little frustrating and disappointing, many of the candidates who have been lorded over earlier in this thread are still available. I'm glad the board have been seemingly proactive in looking to make an appointment which 6 weeks ago would have been seen as totally unattainable and been laughed at as a suggestion. For what its worth, my money is now on Potter (1 whole shiny pound).

He also must have know how much was available for transfer funds.
early on.

Hey All!

I've been a Palace fan for 20-years from the States. Just wanted to say hi and... wow.. Even for us we are making this more difficult than we normally do.

He would have been issued with a work permit, no problem. Poster on bbs works in HO and worked on post Brexit criteria for work permits, he confirmed he qualified. Nice try though!

Bruno Lage got one issued and it was debatable if he met the criteria
