Not sure why you would think that? You seem to presume an awful lot about fellow posters (according to yourself, old fashioned outlooks? Without these 'old fashioned' fans you wouldn't have a club to support today but dont let that stop you looking down on the rest of us. You seem to be hinting that you are more experienced than most too. I await your wisdom with interest) while believing yourself to be superior in knowledge/opinion?
People are allowed to disagree with you. I do, on some of what you say. I think you believing Mcenna wouldn't be interested in us reveals more about your perception of CPFC that of Mcenna's. His current position is good, no doubt. If he were to leave Ipswich for Palace (Massive IF at this point) he would be leaving a Championship club with a Championship squad which is doing well but with no guarantees of promotion especially with Southampton now breathing down their neck and Leicester now out of sight. He would be leaving that scenario to join an established Premiership club that has finished mid table the last 4 seasons, has been in the top flight 11 years and has not only a Premiership squad but has some very exciting players. If he believed in his own ability as a coach and tactician it is a very exciting prospect. All of this you already know, I just feel I'm having to spell it out.
If the offer came from Palace at the end of the season not much changes. Ipswich MIGHT be a promoted club. If they are its a mammoth task to keep them up. Why would that be a better prospect than joining Palace? Alternatively which is more likely, Ipswich fail to gain promotion and he is stuck once again in the Championship with a Championship squad.

Yet you think Mcenna would have no interest in managing Palace and those that disagree with you are old fashioned? Wow!

Watched Ipswich on the box recently, one & two touch football, pinged it around quickly, looked to move it forward before the opposition dropped back into defensive shape. It was an absolute joy to watch after 2 spells of the Hodgesaurus home and away, trying to recreate early-nineties Inter Milan.

If it does not improve, will skip the rest of the season and pick up again after he has gone. Last night in the rain was the absolute pits for me - Franca, Eze, Ahamada, Schlupp, Edouard, Richards all played out of their favoured positions at some point during the game, no clue any longer I am afraid.

Potter would be my main choice. He is not a top 5 manager but he is someone who can get you top 10 consistently which is probably Palace's next aim and it is realistic. Last 5 league positions: 11th, 12th, 14th, 14th and 12th.

You also have Carrick, Rodgers and Cooper. But I would rather have Potter.

I think though Palace have another issue. And that is either spend more money (which is unlikely) or take more risks and push more academy players to the first team squad. For example, Palace are missing a clinical striker one that can score at least 13+ EPL goals consistently. Someone like Ola Adebomi could be that player how will we ever know if he never gets the chance? Also right back has never been replaced since AWB left. Dan Imray has looked very good this year even if he makes mistakes I would give him the chance he would also give you more attacking threat than Ward and Clyne.

Players like AWB and Mitchell got chances due to huge injuries. I am certain there are other players in the academy who can play in the EPL (either fully or off the bench) e.g. Ozoh, Ola Adebomi, Imray, Adaramola)
