You could be right. Certainly not in this fan forum! His entry on Wikipedia says he was appointed as manager of Crystal Palace today and we all know Wikipedia doesn’t lie!

If this is true - and knowing Palace, I'm not counting any Chickens until the coop has been officially displayed....
This appears to be an excellent appointment. seems to know how to play with youth, likes Counter attacks, And is flexible tactically. Of all the Managers spouted around, this guy has to be one of the best.
Time will tell if he's the right fit, but it's a great start and a massive job for him.
Also, a suitably big name that players who were 50/50 may be persuaded to stay, which can only be a good thing.

For some reason though, FDB's epitaph of "Evolution not Revolution" is stuck in my mind. Can we transition to his style quickly enough? I do hope so. and I also hope we give him enough time to iron out early issues.

Exciting times ahead !

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Why should I? I strongly hope he's the right manager for us, and surely he has managed high level teams so nothing at the moment suggest me he couldn't be the right manager for us.
Yet, I keep reading that now he's going to play in the Premier League obscure unproven kids that never even played in Div. 2, or now he's going to play free flowing attacking football makes me laugh a bit... someone's going to be disappointed comes a few months in my opinion...

Has he signed yet?

I didn't know they made record players that big?

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

I think language barrier doesn't allow me to explain correctly what I mean.
I'm not saying he won't be improving our young players (I really hope he does!)
I'm not saying that he can't be the manager taking us to the next level (I really hope he does!)
what I'm saying is that I read already names of kids that have never even played in div. 2 that now will be in the 1st team (forgive me, you didn't write that for sure, but others have believe me...), free flowing attacking football now with this new manager.
Now, with no experience in the PL, with a team that need to be sorted out, do you really think (I'm not asking you, I talk in general) this guy comes in, takes a couple of kids and start playing attacking football?
If he's clever enough, and time will prove he is, until he can get the players he needs (and it could take time, we should know that already), he will do exactly what the previous manager did when he lost the Cabayes, the RLCs etc. without them being replaced, he will use a cautious approach, and will try to make us a team hard to break down. And we really should hope for that, because a different approach could take us to Europe or to the Championship, and we should know this already too (i.e. De Boer).
So, in my opinion, at least for some time, things won't be really different from before, that's why I said some people are going to be disappointed, not me for sure, but believe me some will be.
Surely the new manager will need some time to sort things out for his needs, but with an eye on keeping us up, and having a previous manager that in his 4 seasons got us at 44 49 43 44 points. He won't have an easy job doing better but some people already think he will easily have. I hope they're right.
