We have tried to evolve our style a little too quickly an it hasnt worked. We have played some really good stuff in spells but dont have the quality players necessary to match the top teams. I hate losing every week it really ruins the weekends so I think we HAVE to return to being a Solid, hard to beat team that everyone fears playing. The occasional attritional victory over the big boys has to be good enough for now.
So I think Big Sam is the Best option. I think he's a better manager than he is given credit for. Bolton played decent stuff and Sunderland surprised a lot of people last year. I think he will be given the backing bySP and might end up doing well for us.

We've always liked a character down at the Palace - Big Sam is certainly that - All he needs now is a fedora!

Many decades ago, Arsenal bribed their way into the top tier of English football. Since then, they have become one of the world's most storied clubs and that episode is trivia in their incredible history.

Big picture is that BFS is the safest bet to transforming the club by keeping it in the PL. I think we could have taken a riskier option earlier but perhaps not now.

Is it tasteless? Sure but it's just how it is.

You don't have to support him personally or like him or sing his name. I don't and I won't. But managers and clubs are not one and the same thing and if he gets wins he'll make me and most of those around me happier.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Agree with you re Fat Sam. But much of the rest of your post is in Serious Wally Alert territory - as usual...

Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

Hilarious that some of the most vocal Pardew Out posters are now not wanting any of the names that are most likely to take over.

You got your wish now let's see the consequences.

Exactly this, you know what your getting with him, great man manger, route one football, with our squad and his experience he will keep us up and then next season the same fans crying for Pardews head will be the same ones moaning weekly about our negative football and grinding out results.

I'm not looking forward to watching hoof ball for the next couple of years.

Firstly I go to support palace, secondly I want to be entertained with good football, o well at least I still get to achieve one. allardyce won't take us forward. We will remain a bottom half team all the time his here.

At least the modern fan can boast down the pub about how much TV money we've got and how we have the 16th most expensive squad in Europe zzzzzzzż

Ridiculous. We played plenty of hoof ball under Pardew. It takes more than 4 years to be an entertaining, established top 10 team in the PL. I class winning more than 6 out of the next 38 games as moving forward, and I think 'ol moon face pint o wine will deliver that and a mid table finish. Fine by me

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.
