[Alan Whittle]

Suspect Palace will pull the Vieira plug should they lose to Arsenal. Be interesting to see who they get in.

‘sake.

I don't expect any more managerial changes from anyone. Pure desperation to sack a manager at this stage, much more likely to get a bounce in the wrong direction than an improvement.

I don’t expect Palace to be so stupid ** but you never know. Vieira is a long term appointment for long term development. With a club like ours there are bound to be some difficult bumps along the way.
** However, in 2001, facing relegation to League One, Simon Jordan sacked Alan Smith and brought in Steve Kember with 2 games to go. We needed to win them both and rely on others losing. We won 4-2 at Portsmouth and 1-0 at Stockport. With Huddersfield failing to beat Birmingham on the last day we were saved.
Simon Jordan then announced that Steve Kember had a job for life. He was sacked the following November.

Can't see you sacking him.
Don't think Palace will get relegated either.

‘sake.

Is Johnstone still injured then??

That's racist if they do that.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Is Johnstone still injured then??

Yes. Ferguson making very good progress with the U21’s now though.

Simon Jordan as the chairman of your football club

I bet that's a fun experience

that's football!

 

[neil999]

That Ouattara for Bournemouth looks brilliant.

Where in for him?

An extra attacking option would have made a big difference, regardless of whether we finish 12th or 20th, or anywhere in between

Oh no doubt, I just mean players like that tall Paul at saints aren't having much impact

but ,but, but he's an expert on all things football . I'm sure he is , he said he was.

I think the old philosophy of giving a manager time is a bit outdated. I think this season shows you should sack your manager early, or back them for the long haul.

Yes, I see that. If we drop Vieira will be gone. I think he would leave if we didn’t sack him (but I’m sure we would). Then we have a squad without very many of the qualities that you would need to get out of The Championship. Would be a painful time.

Oh glad to hear that, hoping for a new contract then
