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...

TheGuv Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 It’s mad how old I used to think SBR was when he was managing us at 71. He died aged 76. Imagine him managing us at 75 mind 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...

Doctor Zaius Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 People seem to be forgetting his 2 wins and 13 losses in 18 games at Watford last year. He was spectacularly shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 this is a tragic appointment. Palace will probably stay up still, though. Stinking up the league for another year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I don't think Vieira is incredible or anything, but the manager doesn't seem like the problem with Palace to me, with their squad I wouldn't expect them to be much higher than where they are with the way this season's panned out. It's not like they were in a terrible position either, every team below Villa's in exactly the same situation and really it's only West Ham, Leicester, and possibly Wolves where you can say they should definitely be doing better with the players they have.

They're 12th so normally, you'd think no need to do anything rash - how many seasons in the last 20 years have you and us had where we'd take being mid table? The difference is that this year's table is insane - 4 points between 12th and 20th. Fuck me, that's got to be stressful for the nine clubs involved in that.

To me this is all the more reason not to make any rash decisions. I'm not sure what they're expecting Hodgson to do that they weren't already doing. Their run of games since January has been extremely unforgiving: Spurs, Chelsea, Man United, Us, Man United, Brighton, Brentford, Liverpool, Villa, Man City, Brighton, Arsenal. There's not a single match there where I'd expect them to pick up points, yet they drew with Man United, Us, Brighton, Brentford, and Liverpool and even through those matches are sitting top of that 12th to 20th clusterfuck.
