Would love to see him back at the club in any role!

I'm surprised he's not playing somewhere - thought that was what he wanted.

I think the modern idea that someone should just be turfed out at the end of a career is wrong. Jules played magnificently for the club over many years, showed a great loyalty and affection for fans and was well liked by playing staff. This is the type of person the club should be investing in. I don't know the ins and outs but a successful organisation requires loyal, hard working and reliable staff. Jules has shown all of this and I'm sure he would show his commitment to the club in the way that he worked. Yes, we can go about hiring and firing people but then where is the continuity, the loyalty, the connection to staff, players and the club? We can hire someone but who is to say that person won't just up and leave at the drop of a hat or show any commitment to the club or desire for the club to do well.

Does anyone know with any certainty whether Jules took the coaching badges that seem to be required when going into that side of the game ? I think its UEFA A & B (But could be wrong) if he didnt have them or wasnt working on them perhaps that limited what roles the club could offer.

Would love to see him back and hope we did treat him well. If he wanted to keep playing and wasn't offered a playing role at another Premier League club then it probably wasn't right to keep him as a player at Palace, either, and I'm sure that Roy would have over-ruled Dougie if he had really wanted him to stay. If the club offered him an ambassador role that sounds like a chance was there for him to remain at the club which he didn't want. It may not sound a great role but I think Mark Bright initially had a similar role and it has developed into something much more substantial, so the same could easily have happened with Julian. Palace seem to have a record of treating their former players well so it surprises me that someone of such importance to the club might have been treated badly.

Possibly Palace told him they'd welcome him back in any capacity when he was interested in helping out. After a long career, he may have wanted a season or two just to enjoy life without commitments.

The CPFC Disabled Supporters Association is proud to have Julian as our Patron. He has attended all our social events to date, happily spending time chatting with our members and sharing stories about his time at the club.
