I agree with your sentiments and think he could turn out to be a very good appointment although there will certainly be immediate challenges vis a vis the depth of the squad.
I guess what has left some a bit underwhelmed is that he was available all along and so clearly he was not the no 1 choice. However, personally, I think what has subsequently emerged around Nuno indicates Parish was 100% correct to walk away. Equally, the Fevre situation was just unfortunate and could hardly be foreseen.
What will be interesting is who Viera brings in with him on the coaching side and his approach to transfers. Exciting times ahead I hope.

I'm fine with Vieira as I posted earlier, but am I the only person who has a teeny, tiny bit of hope that he turns us down at the eleventh hour purely for the comedy value of it all? I mean, spurned on the altar three times in a month; it would be sort of funny and definitely the most memorable hat-trick in Palace history. In fact, it would simply be the most Palace thing ever to happen to Palace. Parish has the look of a man who's better at sniffing a line than getting something over one.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Coaching in the French League 1 is in no way comparable to managing in the Premier League

Instead of a big '6 ' they have a big one PSG

Lille did well this season but mainly as a result of the inconsistency of PSG

I hope Vieira is good ,but managing in the MLS with its' weird rules on spending and crowd sizes and managing in the French Ligue 1 aren't comparable to the Premier League

I hope PV is a success but I am doubtful.

On the plus side if he is then it will be a feather in his cap and black mark against those so called better managers who turned us down.

Fingers crossed. COYP

One more point

He's a Manure fan, tried to buy Chelski but Ambromwich wanted twice his offer, as Manure was not for sale at that time. Now it might be different..
