Right now, a familiar, experienced, calming presence is exactly what's needed in an increasingly frantic and bitter situation. Sometimes it's a case of horses for courses; the best decision isn't always the one that most excites you but the one that gives you the best chance of recovery. Well said.

What comes after that, assuming we survive this year, will require a complete reboot. PV was version 2 of FDB, so three strikes and you are out!

I'm not sure how PV thought that was a viable approach, particularly given the outlet that made it work previously (Zaha) has hardly recaptured the form to make it function tactically.

He was very poor and looked totally clueless. I don't want to slag him off too much but he was crap with us in the end. He kept us up but we were not going to do it again. Now, it's suddenly going to work? The more I think about it it, it's total bollox. I'm with you. I just don't get why people want Roy. We had several games in his final season where not only did we not get a shot on target we didn't even get a touch in the opposition box. He set up defensively even when we played teams at our level and whether it was age or whatever his decision making became slower and slower and he seemed incapable of altering things during a game. He had all the attacking players focusing on defending. He even said that he played Bentenke because he was good at defending corners! I get why people were fed up with the football we were producing at the end of Vieira's reign, but that was largely because it looked almost exactly like a Roy team. Personally I think Vieira would have changed our approach after the Arsenal game to a more forward thinking one again, as that is generally what he has done against smaller teams in the past. As it is he is gone now, so I want someone with a positive approach who can instil belief in the players. I know what Roy will do and I don't want that.

Roy built survival with a team of mostly elderly war horses. For years we had easily the oldest team in the division but they could grind out a result with little or no flair. We don't have those players anymore. Viera signed some young and truly gifted players but to my mind we packed a few experienced (as opposed to elderly,) players to glue it all together. Bring Roy back would be a disaster and would see us down before we know it.

I think bringing in Roy (temporarily) is actually a very smart move. Lets face it... we're in the middle of a s*** storm at the moment and we need someone calm, collected, organised and experienced to help us ride out the storm and Roy has all of those things, not to mention he is a local lad and knows the club inside and out. It won't be 'exciting' football and it may be messy but the point is, we will stay in the Premier League and that's our main focus. We can un f*** our situation in the summer but as for now, all focus needs to be on staying up. I don't think it's fair to hate on Roy because he's coming back as a favour to us as he's 75 and could be sat at home relaxing if you want to hate on anyone hate on Parish. I will be bitterly disappointed if people don't go to games or throw away their season tickets just because Roy is back in, that's not what we do at Palace, when the going gets tough we rally up and stick together. Even if you're not supporting Roy, get yourself to the ground and at least show up to back the players who don't deserve any of this mess that the higher level management has created. We will get through this tough time but us as supporters need to do our bit and get behind our team.

I would rather see Bielsa, with the fixtures after Arsenal. A manager that can raise the energy levels and focus on speed, counter-attack and getting the forwards understanding how to score, will keep us up. Then, with the talent coming through from the academy, Bielsa would be a perfect fit. Look what he did with Bamford, who had a terrible attitude when he temped with us.

Pundits think SP has got this wrong. A panic move, not thought through etc.

We have a lot of French speaking players on reasonable contracts so do we need a French speaking manager. Certainly Roy fits this criteria.

A panic move, not thought through etc. He has got this wrong, he should have backed PV in summer and acted sooner on his employment following the aforementioned failure. Of course it’s a panic move, there are appropriate times to panic and this is one. I’d dare to suggest the thoughts of pundits are and only ever will be subjective opinions of not too bright individuals. Hardly indicative of anything other than that.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Cant you get it in your head that people dont want Roy back, they want to stay up, it needs someone connected to the club to steady the ship, not a complete re-boot with 11 games to go, most supporters want to stay up, and many think an insider will have a better chance, in the summer it is different, we need to find out what division we were in, and that was only going to be the championship with PV.
