Parish has to keep putting a sticking plaster over his previous errors of judgement, running round like the plate spinning circus act desperate to keep the plates aloft.
Roy held the fort, nothing more. Actually he was saved by the lockdown, the gruel he served up wouldn't have been tolerated in front of a crowd. And now Patrick Vieira is the latest victim of poor planning and what is highly frustrating is that we were very nearly there last season with a competitive team capable of trading blows with the best. At that point investment in the right areas of the pitch to cover those players that had left would have held us in good stead.
Frankly I can't see any investor or potential manager coming here while Parish is still at the helm. The sooner he sells his stake and f***s off into the sunset the better for all involved.
Only a desperado would want to manage here given Parish's previous history.

Please not Roy, his time has been. I do not think it is worth appointing a Manager with 11 games to go & who in their right mind would want to take on such a position, only someone looking for a fast buck
Let Paddy McCarthy give it go with guidance from whoever is left within, the people who understand the Club & how it works.
In the meantime look for a suitable replacement including half a squad of players & hopefully if we stay up we are ready for the next season. None of this last minute.com from previous years which has left us in the position we find ourselves in now!

I think Derry will be reinstated but hopefully not as manager

Just seen this. thoughts

Palace want Roy Hodgson to take charge of the team until the end of the season after sacking Patrick Vieira this morning. The former England manager is set to hold talks with Steve Parish next week about a return to Selhurst Park.

The way we’ve been playing in recent months I did not feel confident we would get the likely necessary 3 wins and few draws to stay up under Vieira.
As for the winnable future games I look at the last few months where we have failed to beat Everton, Forest, Fulham, Brentford , Southampton and Villa and couldn’t feel confident about future games either.
To win games you often need to score two goals and we’ve been struggling to even score one goal in games under Vieira .

The brief for the manager for the remainder of the season is clear.
Find a way to get us scoring some goals to give us an opportunity to win some games.
Try and instil some backbone into the team so we don’t go missing against the likes of Villa and Brighton after falling a goal behind.
I have some concerns about whether Roy (if it’s him) has the tools available in the current squad to play the counter attacking football which he had last time.
There was PVA , Townsend, Zaha and Schlupp available to allow us to counter attack.
The former 2 have left and the latter 2 no longer have the same pace.

It's not about decent manager but coaching staff at Palace was useless like want to be friends not properly training, Ray Lewington I spelt wrong I know is a excellent coach, if Ray was manager I'd be OK
