Sometimes you read a story and hope it's fake, sometimes you read one and hope there is some truth to it. In this case I hope for the latter.
I am not a bot. No, seriously, I'm not. |

I just read this story as well. Seems we like bald headed Frenchmen all of a sudden! If there's any legs in this yarn it's a yes from me.

PV linked up with TH would certainly make a formidable duo and a terrific source of expertise for our young players. But, as much as I'd like to see this happen, the story has a strong whiff of speculative chit chat about it. Having said that, it's true that some good things are bubbling away at Palace so.... you never know.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

As a coach there were rumours of him being a poor communicator and struggling to get his ideas across. Big name, but I'm not sure it would be that great a move. He clearly wants to manage, so would he undermine Vieira's position if things don't go well? Also, I could only see him accepting an assistant manager position and personally I'd prefer a more senior number two

He’s got to be worth a shout just for his influence with young players and his pull in signing young players throughout Europe! Why would Wilf leave when he can work with his heroes and win something at HIS club?

Agreed on the handball but much as I like the idea in principle I'm only a real fan if he is fully sold on the project and not just lending a hand. Also rationally PV will be with us just for a spell - RH's greatest achievement is in a way to make us forget about managerial instability. And I'd minmise the staff that are simply "Vieira people" who will disappear when he does. There's obviously a balance here as we should take advantage of Vieira Not exactly saying no as it would be fun to send them Wrighty and get Henry in return Originally posted by Spiderman

Best player I’ve seen when watching in the ground. His speed of turn and pace past defenders was frightening

PV and Vieira are two of the finest black / french players to grace this island. They were both top global stars. To have them both guiding our future would be extraordinaire. These guys with a fresh group of young talent could just take football in the premier to a new level. At the Palace. !!!!
