De Boer please although it seems as the most unlikely. We seem to waiting on Southampton to make a decision.

There are not many clubs with two successful elevens.
We are improving Year on Year,as I say we will recruit one or two once the new manager is on board.

Palace 13th 2017/18.

Its the Sakho position that is of real concern, when he is not playing we look vulnerable at the back and I agree the other position you are saying need to be upgraded but what is the real concern is without a manager in place we cannot progress and prepare for the challenge ahead and we are therefore currently losing opportunities especially as most of our competition seem to be very active and much more well prepared than we are at this time!

Parish pays himself 600k a year? Is that a big deal when Benteke's on more than £5m a year, and there almost certainly isn't a first teamer on much less than Parish? Who's more important to the wellbeing and success of this club? Who takes all our shyte week in, week out? Who has to go find a new boss every 6-8 months? Who's got to fix the academy, the scouting network, sign new players, fix the stadium, deal with bigshot yankee investors, PL officialdom, acts of idiocy from lighter-throwing morons, all while retaining the soul of the club...

And if it's a risk-free investment that he made to get his 600k a year: good. I'd rather that than some moron whose ego buys the club for top dollar (putting money in the hands of the seller) and whose fiscal stupidity puts us back in admin two years later (a bit of a popular business model).

Parish may have loads of faults and our consistent success on the pitch under his leadership could have been the result of multiple lucky decisions. His appreciation of the need for quick decisions may be out just as some are suggesting -- and we could be a house of cards that's waiting to fall in on itself. But we are still very much in a period where Steve Parish deserves a huge amount of our trust.

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

I'm a desperate as anyone to a get a new manager. Most of the seasons, we are underprepared going into season, like last season with Benteke transfer saga dragging on. Since being in the premier league, we've left most of our transfer business until the last 2 weeks.
Here's the squad that started the first game against wba .

Hennessy,ward, dann, Delaney, soaure , jedinak, puncheon, Townsend, chungy, Zaha and wickham.

So in an ideal world we love to have our 25 man squad in place when we face Huddersfield. This never happens. Can understand the frustration with manager but even if we didn't sign anybody for the Huddersfield game. We in a stronger position this season . As long we have a manager in situ. I'm sure we will strengthen the squad with 3 or 4 but will probably be the last 2 weeks of August.
