A forum of opinions so I shall respond
1) Benitez won't come here, he wants another club with the chance of prizes and we can't afford him or the transfer budget he would demand. IMO no point wishing for what's not feasible and IMO Benitez is not a feasible option given what his stated desires are and our status.
2) I could live with Howe, if we had to
3) Nuno - an interesting option but he apparently wants a bit of a break (so he purportedly says). Don't see him coming here or Spurs
4) Parker - no thanks; he's still got a lot to learn IMO
5) Lampard, rather like Howe, I could live with him but he's more risky.
6) Sean Dyche - at least he'd probably keep us up and might surprise everyone with what eh could do with our resources.

We may yet end up with one of the up and coming Championship managers

Ultimately, though, I don't have a clue who'll come but it's fun to play the guessing game

Finally - NOT one of our ex-managers, please no!

Now that I totally agree with

8 years In premier league and ground not changed a bit.
Thats a disgrace
although did hear some player last week name a few stadiums they love playing as old school - Selhurst was first mentioned

But by now after 8 years we should have new stands ///

all gone on 100k per week wages for non returns ... (Tekkers, Wickham, Sakho etc ... )

well we've have had a bit of cladding but I'm with you.

This new manager s*** will drag on all summer and we'll end up with someone about 1 week before the start of the new season...its all a load of bollox really.

Whoever it is I am hoping he’ll be as committed and loyal to Palace as Roy has been - and not leave us in the lurch like Pulis and Big Sam. I was disappointed when both left - although I do now appreciate the wisdom of them leaving before their limitations were exposed.
I think it’s important we appoint for the next 3 years and secure a manager prepared to commit to that.

If Lampard has in fact ruled himself out then we may well have avoided being in the same situation in 12 months time when a better option presents itself.

1st Choice. Benitez. Excellent experience.
2nd Eddie Howe. Young and better potential. Could do really well with Palace players.
3rd Nuno Espirito - Excellant flair, hard to get but now is the time if possible that Spurs don't get him.
4th Scott Parker - Decent. I think if we don't get other 3 then Mr Parker should be considered.

Lamps should be a last option as with him it will either go really well and or we get relegated. Main problem with the Chelski legend is that media will protect him no matter even if we are about to get relegated.

Sean Dyche no thank you!
