We’ll be asking for Eze back not Roy.

Well it’s now Monday and no announcement of any press conference so a smooth transition to a pre-arranged candidate looks increasingly unlikely

Going by the fact that Roy, feels he has more to offer to football, there is every chance he had enough. For four years he has made the point that if the club is to go forward improving, the playing side needed investment. It never came , and in fact is slipping backwards. I suspect he was told he would get certain types and didn’t. This time he wasn’t going to play ball. And can you blame him,? Well of course many have been happy to blame him for sticking and making the best of it.
This is the worry, it indicates nothing much on transfer policy will change, in fact if this squad got reduced as suggested the mind boggles, when you consider the problems we have had with getting a competitive side out at times.
It’s hard to see who , that isn’t desperate for any chance would want this job. Unless they should take a chance on any new promises the club are making.

Plus losing Eze for so long which, really exposes our frailties. Not exactly a big draw for an aspiring manager or indeed quality players who we desperately need.

Bring back Brolin

Total agree but then again in hindsight I would love to see all our transfer dealings done early a manager in position well before the season start, but then again this is Palace you are talking about as we all know nothing is straight forward nothing is easy.

What a load of utter rubbish. You, like most of the "Roy out" bandits simply refuse to take into account the lack of investment he received & just how dire the tools are he had to work with. It's cult-like.

The notion that he has only ever played a rigid & defensive style of football is bordering on absurd & probably deliberate ignorance. Ask any Fulham fan and they'll tell you something different. You don't get to a Europa League final, beating Juventus on the way, with Fulham of all teams, by playing Pulis style football. Roy didn't play the style of football you allude to in his first season at Palace, either, because he had a midfield with Loftus-Cheek & Cabaye in it. Their departures were more significant than you seem to give credit for & he was not backed with any replacements. He mentioned on a number of occasions that the squad required investment but unlike managers that went before him, he didn't throw his toys out the pram when it wasn't forthcoming. As for technical players stagnating under Roy, I'm not sure what you're even talking about. Eze has been brilliant, Cabaye was excellent, Zaha was wanted by the top clubs pretty much throughout Roys tenure & had his 2 best scoring seasons under him, too. The fact that his age & Covid has brought his stock down has nothing to do with Roy. What a ridiculous thing to assert.

Anyway, the whole "Roy in" "Roy out" thing has been done to death at this point. It's irrelevant now. He's gone. You lot got your wish and there is every chance the board rendered his position almost untenable due to the growing section of disgruntled fans.

What I'm questioning you on is the notion Sean Dyche is the guy to replace Roy with if your major concern is a progression in the football. Dyche is about the worst candidate possible if that is what you want. Could the football marginally progress with Dyche & investment? Who knows? What we do know is that it almost certainly would've had Roy been afforded a window with some of the investment he frankly earned.

We're the Arthur over ere!

People are now going to find out just how great a manager Roy was. Looking at the squad and injuries it seems like relegation and rebuilding is inevitable. That is unless the Yanks dig deep into their pockets.
