Pep Guardiola would be in pole position to manage Palace if he wanted to be.

That is why Favre being in "pole position to manage us" is a bit pointless because the question is only does he wish to.

This Wheddsta fella looks a fake to me, btw. There is radio silence from Favre's side so we just need to wait it out.

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

Just to add to all the itk clickbait sites and gumpf on twitter, I've also heard that Favre has agreed to be our new manager.

Dazza told me, on here earlier on. Still though, I now feel as qualified to break news as anyone.

I was accused of Dazza-ism unfairly at one point - there has been some changes in the betting - one firms gone 1-5 from 1-2, two firms are holding out strongly at 8-13 while Favre has been backed in the exchanges from evens to 8-11, still 50-50ish, which suggests that the bookies have stopped taking bets because anyone prepared to back at very skinny odds with big bucks must already know the result, but you can back him with individual punters at backable odds because the white smoke has not been stoked yet, it could stay black, and black or white is an even money shot.

but seriously folks Favre is now 3-10 on the EXCHANGES to get the job, a very big jump which indicates big punters with real confidence have backed Favre at evens ... of course plenty of 1-6 shots and 1-10 shots have turned out to be duds, but the odds are undoubtedly showing positive signs.

Lucien Favre: Ex-Borussia Dortmund manager favourite to be appointed Crystal Palace boss

Been saying it’s close?

Sky Sports now reporting it too.

For me when both the BBC and Sky start to break it that is a lot more solid and means there is most probably something to it.
