Just Seen Stevenage destroy Newcastle, Graham Wesley's post match interview was from a man focused on his job, determined to win, he's a born winner. There's no doubt in my mind he is a Manager with a future, hopefully one day at Palace. His teams work and train hard, and he milks every ounce of potential out of his players. Graham Wesley as Palace Manager.....one day!

Don't mean to be negative because I hope he comes and does very well but Roy Hodgson did fantastically well at Fulham before moving to Liverpool and the events there today should serve as a reminder that the past is irrelevant in football management. I think it's important that he doesn't get built up to ridiculous levels where everybody thinks he'll trigger a Dowie-esque push for promotion, when realistically that was a bit of a miracle and we'll do very well just to stay up.

This is the kind of manager I think i'll be very happy to back 100%. He seems to be a really genuine, respectful, honest guy who gets his team attacking with a tight defence. He's the kind of manager that if we did happen to go down, he would be absolutely perfect to bounce straight back from it and stronger. it will be refreshing to have a manager that's not been built up from past and distancing one off successes (Francis, Burley, Taylor) and who looks to be on the up.

Absolutely, any new manager needs to be totally backed. I'm just slightly concerned that some will assume he'll carry his Bournemouth record straight over to us when realistically he, like any other manager, is going to have half a season of struggle ahead. We've done well to tie our main players down and with a decent addition or two should hopefully have enough to stay up but even if we don't I think it's time we stuck with a manger for a longer period of time to build a team rather than calling for his head if we don't immediately rocket to the top of the form table.

IF he is to become the new boss then I would have mixed feelings, firstly he might be too young and inexperienced to take on such a big job of getting us out of relegation fear but I think he's doing really well at Bournemouth as he had a transfer embargo last year.

What do you all think?
