If Silva comes to Palace my seat will be empty.

Was it him in charge at Watford when his team openly set out to kick Zaha??? A captain daft enough to say so and Capoue, who should have been locked up for assault!

Would prefer Cooper, Dougie or even Pardew to Silva. If he was an English manager that had failed in all 3 of his premier league jobs, he effectively downed tools at Watford after being linked with Everton. Amazing what having a exciting name can do for you in football.

I would like Dougie, but i think he might not want it, nice cushy role as DOF, wont get sacked, takes managers job and if goes tits up, no way back.

Well he might not be our number one choice, but if he does get the job, we have to back him. I remember, when Hull got relegated on the last game of the season at selhurst, he clapped the Palace in the main stand and Holmesdale as he walked off, just saying. He obviously knew he was coming back! Seriously though, I agree with you that we should back him, or whomever steps into the fold. With Silva it will very much be how much he has learned from his mistakes. Maybe some time out of the game will have softened his ego and he might be more focused? I'm not convinced, but you never know.

Cooper - NO! I mean seriously Swansea fans where he is supposed to be so successful are divided about him...after perceived success! Dyche - We have missed the window of opportunity on getting him as he is now building his squad for Burnley next season. Lampard - If we wanted him we would have got him by now Silva - NO! (Seriously his experiences at multiple clubs have all ended very quickly in failure) Howe - Again if we wanted him we could have got him by now but seems to think he is way better than he is and make demands as such Ismael - Too late now he has gone to WBA, we missed the bus Klinnsman - Only being mentioned because people saw him on the telly recently and he said he would take the Spurs job at the drop of the hat. Done nothing but failure as a manager, living off his name. Dougie - The clamouring for Dougie is purely based on him coming across well on when Eagles Dare. He did well for a very short spell in the Championship and then nothing...NO! Allerdyce - He's not coming back, won't come back. The assumption we an get him in when it goes inevitably wrong with any of the above is not grounded at all. I'm annoyed and dismayed at our manager search this summer, so close and yet we screw it up at the 11th hour, its getting wearing and it is eroding trust in the way the club is run. Taking on any of the above all have known faults so I'm starting to believe that instead of getting one of the known managers that we know have faults maybe we take a gamble and try to get in a younger manager from abroad who looks to be up and coming. An Ismael or Pochetino type of manager before they came over here.

We really should have had a firm idea of the profile - Premier League experience or similar in France, Germany, Italy or Spain. So would be very surprised Steve Cooper is a match and we play Chelsea in 7 weeks.

One thing I hope the club do is to reach out to those players whose contracts expire on Wednesday as from Andros' comments it does seem like they are being left out of the loop and this cannot be good for squad harmony. Even in close season they'll be communicating via WhatsApp. While the likes of Sakho and Wickham are likely to go whatever, we can't afford to lose all of the out of contract players. Most of these players have after all have played a big role in keeping the club where it is and we're in danger of a Yaya Toure birthday cake scenario. Players are human and if they are made to feel unwanted this will create disharmony and players we may want to keep like Andros may simply decide to go elsewhere, while it could also make players who are still contracted question the values of the club. I have sympathy with Parish having apparently seen two deals collapse at the last minute, but now will be the real test of his abilities.

How about Klinsmann for Manager?
The beatings will stop when morale improves. |
