Hopefully someone in place for Palace but I doubt they would make the interim statement they did if we are very close to appointing someone full time. Maybe a little "under promise, over deliver", if we are lucky and they are just covering all bases in case something falls through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercepting Fist Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Wonder if King Kev has been considered just until the end of the season to steady the ship? The summer may have a larger number of managerial candidates available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it points more to the theory they wanted a replacement before binning Bruce. I feel they're very close to confirming a new manager, hence the movement now. I reckon we'll hear an announcement before the weekend. Let’s hope so. But I actually think they just wanted to give him the 1000th game in the end. They knew that they couldn’t get anyone in right away so decided to be nice so that the media wouldn’t have overreacted about sacking him on 999 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the idea that we actually have a good quality shortlist who’ll be wanting to sell themselves to us as much as us them, rather than going down to 10th choice with the remit of finishing 17th, is amazing.

I just think, caretaker is a little disrespectful, in their vernacular anyway. I wouldn’t read too much into it in the interim!

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Ambassadorial. Send him to meet the kids and their parents we’re singing/pinching for the academy. Let him sell a vision for the club. That’s about all that’s needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man like KK instinctively knows the game and footballers inside out, he doesn’t need to watch a game or a team or a player over a length of time to know and understand what it takes to be successful or what needs done or not, he’d get all that in a few training sessions easily as he’s proved twice here. For his own sanity, health and my love of the man, I wouldn’t want him back as manager in the real world though, in my idealistic head and heart, however, fuck yeah!

BennyBlanco Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Wonder what the odds are on Jones getting the gig full time if he impresses. If he takes 4 games and wins 3 of em then surely he’s got to be considered. Isn’t he rated pretty highly amongst those at the FA + England? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why be wasting time interviewing candidates if they even consider the possibility of giving it to Jones? Plus there’s zero evidence or even rumours that he even wants it.

LFEE Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I’d be very surprised if Fonseca isn’t in the stands on a watching brief this Saturday. If indeed he’s the man they’ve finally decided on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, as with all walks of life, some people fit some spaces just fine, and don’t want to move positions or ‘rise through the ranks’. A decent coach doesn’t always make a good manager either. edit- for example that English guy who was a coach in Germany then came to the UK to manage and was poor- can’t remember his name.
