They’ll look at us and think, “What would Everton do?” and then they’ll appoint Marcus Bent on a 10 year contract before getting relegated.

It's a ridiculous decision. 12th in the table and with a lot of bottom half teams to play.
They had time to hand him the next two games after the international break - which are at home and winnable - and then make a decision.
Any new manager will go into that job with Palace probably in 13th and with easier on paper games. The pressure to get the wins will be enormous. Imagine they dont get them - they'll implode with no fix available.
IMO no club at this stage should change manager unless they are looking doomed. Palace weren't ever in that category. I reckon they might be punished for it.

Indeed, you have to give him a couple of games against the duffers at least, and you have to have someone lined up surely! Unless he had lost dressing room big Time etc which is poss i guess

You tend to hear that when a manager is sacked. It's mostly bollocks though.
I mean I dont like Vieria particularly, but I think he earned the right to keep that job on for a few weeks more.
Parish is a scumbag. I hope he gets burned by that decision.
I think Lampard will deffo be in the running.
He kept us up last year and Palace are in a much healthy situation than we were in at the time.
But I guess the argument would be this international break is the last opportunity for a new manager to really have time to put their ideas forward. Even so you need to have someone lined up to come in. If they've just panicked and are going to go with the U21 coach I don't see the point, that's an enormous step up and a big gamble.
Honestly I would be amazed if he gets another top level job without going down a level and proving himself first. I really wanted him to succeed here but he was absolutely awful. If he takes over at Palace they could be in big trouble.

I dont think the final 11 games is time enough, tbh.
It's the sort of stunt a club makes in utter desperation, like Burnley did last season sacking Dyche.
Getting Zaha, playing to his max again, is gonna be key to whoever gets the job.
You`d have thought, that they`d have someone lined up, as they seem like a pretty well run club, with all the kids they bring through and getting the most out of average players.
I like Palace, as they`re still a proper club, with proper supporters, not footy tourists, like a lot of the London clubs.

Hard to see how it could be enough, think Palace have sleptwalked into being crap at the wrong time
I guess Burnley did get a bounce when Jackson came in, but it wore off because he simply wasn't as good a manager. The difference here is that Palace are in less trouble and even a 3 or 4 game bounce could get them to safety even if it's unsustainable, so maybe that's the logic. I'm not sure I agree with their decision but if they've decided Vieira isn't their guy for next season I guess it makes sense to do it now and hope some sort of bounce helps them see out the season relatively comfortably.

Personally I don't blame Parish for this decision. Their form has been apocalyptic, and they were rightly worried about the direction of travel. I understand the argument that he should have been given a couple of games against the bottom teams, but what happens if they lose them? Surely you then look back and think that the decision not to sack him was beyond stupid.
Let's flip that around - how many people don't believe that our failure to sack Lampard after the Bournemouth games was a mistake? We allowed him a few more games against the dross and we lost them, which (along with not signing a striker over the two transfer windows) may end up costing us our place in the division.
Selfishly, I'd rather they had kept Vieira as they looked like they were sleepwalking towards a massive scrap and that would have made our job a little easier
