Their fans probably would, considering, but way tooooooo early for any boards in their position.

Good point but I was thinking waaaaaaay too early.

PV has a good chance to make a name for himself with a club where the expectations are low - or at least not high. Arsenal are the new Liverpool where the fans and the board expect to be at the summit of the PL and blame the manager for anything short of that.

Did Arsenal spend as much as Palace in the windows? Anyone? Just a key point imho as you could argue that PV has spent a lot of cash, but then he has done extremely well to implement a new style of football, whereas Arteta has not done a busting lot with any of his acquisitions - although I'd add that he's got Aubameyang (?) paying again for at least the first 5 minutes.

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

I have read that Vieira feel’s slighted by Arsenal. They sold him directly after the year of the invincible season of which he was captain to Juventus. He was never offered any role at the club in coaching, he had to take that up at Man City. He hasn’t been honoured by a statue at the Emirates, but Adam’s, Berkamp, Henry and Herbert Chapman all have. The only recognition he has is a shot of his back on the murals that are painted on the walls outside the stadium.

Guess the click-bait sites really do read fan sites . . .

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Whilst its clear PV is doing a good job with Palace, quite frankly in the modern day where there is so much free media available, anyone who works in that kind of industry has to constantly be finding something to talk about / write about to try to stay relevant, one of the consequences of that is pretty much any senior manager that gets his team playing well, gets a decent return on matches played against points earnt will be targeted by the media as destined to be going to ............. next-if there is some link in the past (ex player / supported as a kid / ball boy etc then so much the better) the fact that they are talking about is is either because they think there is going to be a story there (i.e the existing manager is struggling) or they are trying to create a story by pushing a theory out there hoping it gains credibility, somewhere in that story there are the words, should / could / would / likely / maybe etc to provide a get out if it doesn't happen.

If Viera did leave us for them then he would have been successful for us and who could blame him if they came calling.

I don't think Arteta is a bad manager though so who knows. A win for us would have put it out there

Worth keeping a dossier on managers though
