I hope you will all join me in apologising for the utter bollocks we all posted on here eight months ago and recognise an achievement in football management of no common order. I can smugly say that I posted no such bollocks. The fact that I had no idea who to suggest at the time is of course irrelevant. What Roy has achieved after such a dreadful start to the season and the injuries that we have suffered this season is nothing short of a miracle. He unfortunately won't win Manager of the Year as that will be judged on pure success, rather than value added, and will thus go to Guardiola. However, his effect has been massive and in addition he seems a really decent bloke. Will he be with us next year? I'd like to think so but I suspect that may depend on some investment in the team.

I'll freely admit after Big Sam left I qs hoping we would get in an up and coming prospect, young with fresh ideas, forward thinking who would see Palace as a desirable chance to make a name for themselves. I felt Pelligrino and Marco Silva were real contenders and Toy felt underwhelming when his name came up in the discussion. I will put my hands up and admit I couldn't have been more wrong. I do feel a bit cheated by FdB in that he promised a gradual evolution of our playing style but this is not what he delivered. I hope Roy stays for a few years. A radical thought would be to get a young manager, maybe from the lower leagues and offer him assistant manager role to learn from Roy, mold him into our way of doong things. Even more tadical would be to tben 'loan' him out to a lower league club as there manger. Wonder what the rules are on this sort of practice? What like Steven Gerrard?

Agree 100%. I can't see Woy in the premier league again let alone at Palace. More chance of him pushing the trolleys at Sainsbury's Does make me laugh. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

What like Steven Gerrard? I think going to Rangers is a good move for Gerrard. In a way its a free hit. If he fails then he can point to the SPL as a one team league and he didn't have the financial muscle to compete. If he enjoys success then he is a genius who broke Celtics domination and woke a sleeping Giant. Too early to say if he will be any good but one to watch.
One more point |

I have no desire to see Benteke taking corners, thank you very much. I hope de Boer can get his s*** together because none of the alternatives are very attractive. Freedman or Woy? FFS. Actually of course we'd probably end up with both. Edited by chateauferret (05 Sep 2017 1.02am) Spooky beyond imagining.

At the beginning of the season I did what I do best on here - kept my mouth shut. I had no idea who would be best for us,and I just hoped the board did. They did. And how. Could they have done better? Who cares?
