The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Will Still Southampton manager

Think Bonky is making the point his stock is a lot lower after his Brugge stint.

Well that's true but Crystal Palace aren't exactly a great pull for great managers.

Any manager they take on will likely be one that has to try to redeem himself....or a bigger past their sell by date manager that's looking to have a final big pay day and not care what happens.

Yeah sorry, he’s (Parker) had his stock drop with that debacle. That being said, I could still see him going there and doing enough to keep them up. 

It's possible many managers could keep Palace up because it's the coin toss with what's around them.

The players look lethargic when I've watched them. Palace are usually good for an upset or two a season against tougher opposition. They've had a single shot on goal in the last 5 matches or something like that. Parker would instil a bit of fight in them that's been missing and has a track record of promotion if Palace do go down. Could be a good fit for both of them.

They really struggle to create without Gallagher in that midfield imo, shows how good he is 

 

 

 

 

He was very good for Palace, instrumental in their attack and getting the ball up the pitch.

Someone like Hasenhüttl could actually be a decent shout with Palaces attacking talent.

He’d be a risky option I think, although who isn’t when you’ve only got 11 games left. Palace are known for being defensively solid, not remotely expansive and not scoring many goals. If they change their style it would take a bit of time and they’d no doubt start shipping lots of goals in the meantime. Think he’d take them down

I don't ever recall a single interesting match Vs Palace. Paper planes is the best I recall, and that was only because the football was so eye wateringly painfully dull from both sides

A sacking is only as good as the manager they replace them with. If they really are going for Hodgson then sacking Vieira is a mental decision imo.

You would imagine Roy would only be to the end of the season surely? A "safe" pair of hands to guide them to safety.

It just doesn't really make much sense imo. He's a manager that comes in and organises teams with poor defences so they're hard to beat. Palace are kind of already that team, their problem is up front. He's surely completely past it now as well.

I agree with that to be honest, I think sacking Viera was the wrong thing in general, while their form is dire, they've had a absolute shit run of games, and after Arsenal have a run of games with against teams around them, and I'd have backed Viera to turn it around.
