SUPERTOON Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 10 hours ago, The Prophet said: Conte is a proven winner who demands high standards from his players, they're far more likely to get 4th with him than roll the dice on an inexperienced caretaker. I wonder if Poch would go back? By all accounts they have stopped playing for him and he has fallen out with the majority of them, I think they have more chance of getting a reaction with a managerial change than by sticking with Conte.

SteV Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Bit weird that Palace are going back to Hodgson really. His MO is to come in and make teams organised, hard to breakdown etc. which is exactly what Palace already are. Not sure anyone has ever thought ‘we’ve got serious problems with our attacking play, let’s turn to Roy Hodgson’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they think they've got a shot at someone in the summer and RH is just the "safe pair of hands" to tide them over until then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Think it's an ideal appointment for them given the context, really. I just can't believe the guy himself hasn't actually retired yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Lovely old Roy, just play Bowls or Bingo lad. Why would you want the stress at that age? Obviously a workaholic. Really like him so hope it’s not a disaster but equally I’m sick of Palace so couldn’t care less if they go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Just seems sensible to me. They've far more chance of securing their next long-term appointment in the summer because I don't think they've got the muscle to prize someone away from their club at this stage of the season. Of the unattached managers, Hodgson has brilliant credentials given he consistently kept the relegation battle at arms length over four years there.

See your point like; however, can also see him getting them to the dizzy heights of 11th and them giving him a 2 year contract in the Summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 re Conte, I read a tweet by Matt Law of the Torygraph yesterday about that situation, and he referred to a telling snippet of the Spurs All or Nothing documentary, where Danny Rose is moaning at Mourinho about why he isn't getting more game time. Mourinho tries to explain to him and is relatively logical about it, and Rose finishes with "Well, I am going to go and talk to Daniel about this". Law's take on it was whether that is an example of the fucked up dynamic Conte is referring to, as far as Levy is concerned. Far, far too present at the training ground too 'close' to the players.

Yeah, it's an easy one to laugh at this, at face value, but if you think about it, between now and the end of the season, it is the most sensible move. He'll keep them up (they are fucking dire, mind) and they'll have a much better choice of manager in the summer than now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
