If one accepts the argument that Vieira has not been fully backed in the transfer market, the question then becomes has he got the best out of our available resources.
For me the jury is out.
We have all observed the playing of square of square pegs in round holes, the ponderous build up from the back which is so easy for the opposition to contain, the lack of tactical in game changes and the poor work off the ball which appears to be tolerated.
Vieira appears to be likeable, seems to popular with the players and in many ways is a very good fit for Palace.
However, it’s all about results and he has to be able to demonstrate he can take us forward and make the necessary improvements.
At the moment it would difficult to argue that we are moving forward as a team.

Ah but he’s not though.

He said in a reply to me that neither he nor I knew if PV was a good manager, but that “ time would tell “.

I did find that strange as he’s clearly already made his mind up

Thank you for your response.
You are most welcome.

Be good to tot how much Chelsea has spent on strikers during the time Palace have been in the Prem…..Willo ?

I have to smile, Chelsea have spent all those millions & bought in another 8 players this window (or is it 9) & still there are clickbait articles almost every day saying that they must buy this player at 30 / 40 / 50 million because he is the answer to their problem(s) - IDK if they have spent 500 million & still have problems to solve that only buying more players will solve then we are really up a creek without a paddle

Do you seriously think Viera has no input into who we buy.
