Sometimes I wonder if we're all focus in doing what's the best for Palace or some of us put their bets in first place! If it isn't let me tell you it seems so...
All the artificial fuss around Dyche feed by the press it's a clear example of that.

In fact for anyone who isn't aware lets take you through Mauricio Pellegrino's record as a manager;

Sacked at Valencia - Not going to knock him too much for this because it's been well documented that they have been a disaster for quite a while.

Estudiantes - Got sacked after two years - didn't exactly pull up any trees.

Independiente - slightly better record but didn't do anything momentous and only stayed there for a year.

Alaves - finished 9th and got to a cup final - great achievement and it's this alone that persuades me that he's the best man for the job (having watched quite a few games of their's this season I have been impressed).

HOWEVER;

those that are negative in the Dyche camp and pro Pellegrino need to look at this objectively and realise that there isn't really much between them.

We have got absolutely no chance of appointing Tuchel and anyone that believes we have is delusional. Schmidt - I have not really watched much of Bayer so not sure if they have improved under him. However I believe his english isn't great which instantly becomes an issue.

I just don't get the vast negatives against Dyche. He's often on radio 5 live and having listened to him debate about football he speaks a huge amount of sense.

Yes his away record is horrific but how much of that is due to the make up of his squad? I have not got totals for his away form in the championship but assuming it's far better.

You can counter this by saying his home form is superb (one thing we have really struggled with in last few years) if he can marry the two together then we will shoot up the table.

Cash out then.

Gary Monk has been offered the Boro job and likely to accept.

That is a very good point. My concern is that, if appointed, he tries to impose his favoured system (4-4-2) on us regardless of the circumstances and I can't really see either Townsend or Zaha "tucking in tight" or Benteke "running around like a blue-arsed fly".
