I think everyone loves Roy, but how long next season when the tougher fixtures kick in again and we struggle going forward again will the love continue? I have no doubt he’s benefited from the easier fixtures and much as Roy’s a gent and I love the bloke, I think we need a fresh start next season Edited by monkey (17 May 2023 3.19pm) Agreed. I can't put up with the style of football we played with for the last 3 years of his tenure

I have been thoroughly enjoying the 'Roy train' and am therefore optimistic in speculating how he will do with better resource. The reality may well be our treading water once again (at best)... however once again wishing for more/better. One big hesitation I have with Roy is whether his staying will reflect a lesser inclination to invest in squad from the board as well given he represents security far more than ambition Hypothetical and perhaps delusion proposition: Roy stays - there is some further investment in team - things go well - Roy retires having overseen an impressive and entertaining 8th-11/12th place finish - bit more investment summer '24 with a new manager to take us onward and upwards upon Roy's well earned retirement. I'll have a lie down a book an appointment with a shrink!
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

People have a bad perception of Roy, for the way we HAD to play in certain games in his last tenure,
“This is a crisis, a large crisis.... in fact if you have a moment, it’s a 12 storey crisis, magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24 hour portage , and an enormous sign on the roof saying “This , is a large crisis” - Edmund Blackadder |

What I do not need:- New probably foreign coach with no knowledge of Palace with new methods and staff. Disjointed pre-season preparations tours I just want the players fit and ready to go. Any important departure to be covered by recruitment. It ain't broke with Roy, so don't fix it!

Steve Parish did not show Mr Hodgson the door. Incorrect Roy has confirmed himself he never said he was done and retired. It was time to move in a different direction the club must have spoken to him about this and his contract had expired. If we sign him for next season I wont be watching already seeing signs of what happened in his last stink same old names and stale at times.

Mr Hodgson's words : "After more than 45 years of coaching I have decided that the time is right for me to step away from the rigours of top-flight Premier League football. “I feel now that at the end of another successful season, in which we have secured our Premier League status, the moment is right for me to step down from my responsibilities of being a full-time manager. “I have had so much support from my wife and family throughout my career and I have been contemplating this decision for some time, and now I believe the time is right to consider them and to see what the future holds for me.”

RH told Palace in the March that he would not be staying. Giving Palace ample time to find a replacement. Maybe after a break he decided he was not ready for retirement and so it proved, he went to Watford. Edited by Spiderman (18 May 2023 4.07pm)

But it will appear broke when Roy has a much tougher run of fixtures to navigate, then the knives will be out again

Hopefully the Palace DNA will stay in place and hopefully we'll be a very exciting team and pretty successful. I think the Palace Academy has been a very sensible high quality investment. My dream (some may say psychosis) is to be South London's Arsenal

I think the Palace Academy has been a very sensible high quality investment. My dream (some may say psychosis) is to be South London's Arsenal I'd absolutely love that PJE however am very much adverse to the 'let x takeover' proposals purely as I see them as sentimental rhubarb and not founded in reality or evidence driven. That could very well be my own cynicism and Palace-related anxiety talking however and I am in no way suggesting I am correct in thinking that.
