Not a time for experimentation with managers unfamiliar with the Premier League (e.g the Celtic manager or Fevre).
I’d also be apprehensive about Lampard or Gerrard - great players often don’t make even good managers.
Santo and Benitez are two available experienced managers who have good organisational skills although Santo failed at Spurs and Benitez at Everton.
Mind you most managers have at least one failure on their cvs.
What’s unclear at the moment is if we’re looking for a stopgap until the end of the season or a longer term appointment.
Could be a bit of both I suppose I.e ‘II’ll join but if the club go down, I’m off.’

Yes So rumour has it , Cant do any worse really .

Based on the betting I think your right

“This is a crisis, a large crisis.... in fact if you have a moment, it’s a 12 storey crisis, magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24 hour portage , and an enormous sign on the roof saying “This , is a large crisis” - Edmund Blackadder

There's something about Gerrard that, despite everyone being against him, I think would suit Palace. I think it'll be Nathan Jones. I don't know if there's anyone particularly exciting. Maybe we can try and nab Will Still. If we were to go backwards, even for the short term, i'd hope for Dougie or Allardyce. I honestly thing Allardyce is the best manager we've had that I can remember and I think he could work wonders with this team

I say no more !

I also like Gerrard and think he deserves an interview as does Jesse Marsch. Add Benitez and Hasenhutti and you have a great short-list. Marsch would ace the interview though.

I notice Nuno Santos is on the bookies list. Anyone who works in Saudi should be immediately barred from working for an inclusive club like Palace. I hope Parish is not even considering him.
