The Mail rarely do not fail to take digs at Palace. They make it sound like it’s a crime not to risk another managerial trier

On one hand this could be down to a lack of other decent options out there, or a positive spin would be Roy has earned another year and Paddy gets some more experience with the first team. Whatever the case we never seemed to show any serious interest in anyone else. Like many I imagine there is some concern of a return to the dull days of before, but hopefully while Roy has earned our faith and trust maybe the players have also earned his too and shown they can match most teams by playing on the front foot and not just using a low block and 25% possession. Only time will tell. Welcome back (again) R&R. May we climb to new heights.

Interesting comment from some random on the Mail Online website article:- Palace not bothering with the long term, just want to milk the premier league cow for as long as possible. No such thing as a long-term manager, hasn't been since at least the turn of the century. There are only coaches, working with what the club give them, and each season is a discreet project of its own as far as any sensible 'manager' is concerned. Dougie is the long-term presence and planner. Edited by TheBigToePunt (03 Jul 2023 3.25pm)

At least it seems like we got our first-choice pick this summer.

It was a difficult call, but sad we've missed out on Potter.

The management team will do no worse than any other and due to their knowledge of the players will probably get us off to a faster start than if we had an entirely new management team. Looking forward to a top ten finish but they will need some extra players to achieve it. COYP

Keeping my powder dry on this until something goes wrong and we get to see how the management reacts to adversity. Hopefully the response won’t be the same as the last time.
