Key for me in that was Simon Davies' comment that the players were "converted" to Roy's style. I don't see that in our team at the moment.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

His ‘methodology’ was found wanting at Liverpool and with England and seems to have unravelled in the last year with us.
He has shown no inclination to embrace change and while some will see that as a strength I would see it as regressive.
His desire to turn Eze into Townsend is just one example.
His defensive organisation was seen as a strength in the past but 73 goals conceded in the last 40 games with only 7 clean sheets would suggest otherwise.
It’s time for a change at the end of the season.

The 40 games includes of course this unusual season,games in quick succession with only a limited pre-season, and games in 'Project Restart' with a condensed schedule.
An aged squad have been really tested physically and of course fatigue can have an abject affect on defensive organisation.

When it comes down to it is the answer to this question:

Given the current squad can you think of a manager who could make better use of what we have ?

Apart from those obviously unavailable or out of our modest price range, answers on a very long sheet of paper, please (and you may include Frank de Boer if you so wish)

Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders

Apart from Palace, Freedman's two other managerial posts have been with Bolton and Nottingham Forest both of which ended with Freedman's tail between his legs.

Shaun Derry has a similar managerial CV as he was sacked from his first two managerial roles before stepping down a peg to first team coach with the mighty Oxford United and further down to coach of our development squad

I think this means the answer is ‘no.’
