The Fun Factory Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Its a big job for somebody to take over after Uncle Woy's retirement. I am not sure Dyce would be that tempted don't know who they will go for. Fat Frank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Name Is Death Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Have Palace ever been anything other than middling? I don't think they've ever won a major competition, and I fail to think of any minor ones either. (And when was the last time they qualified for Europe?) It's a shame for a club with such a great name. Edited May 19, 2021 by His Name Is Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the risk they have, they’ll almost certainly plummet from here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Palace are the kind of team that look to be a steady premier league side, but all it would take is one bad season for them to drop down to the championship and they could easily become stuck in that division for a while, basically their biggest draw is that they're a premier league side, in the championship they'd just go back to being a similar sized club to the likes of Stoke, Blackburn, Middlesbrough, QPR, and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame for a club with such a great name. They were a nothing club until Malcom Allison. Changed their kit and nickname. They have a huge catchment area but the ground is a dump and a nightmare to get to. All of the big clubs in London are north of the river, yet the majority of the residential areas are sarf to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather from podcasts and such they lost an FA cup final in the early 90s with Ian Wright and Pardew and that's the best thing that has ever happened to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will find it hard to walk away from this project, from top to bottom we are attempting to crack the monopoly of the big4 winning almost everything. I doubt he would make the same mistake as Lampard and jumping in to a job too big and anything else would have less prestige then what we are trying to do.

This is the risk they have, they’ll almost certainly plummet from here. Yep one of their rivals is Charlton. Between 2000-06 they constantly finished top half and weren't far off europe in some seasons. Then Curbishley left, they got relegated the next season and haven't come close to premier league since, indeed they've just yo yoed between championship and league one more with chaotic ownership. Their youth system still produced likes of Lookman, Konsa and Joe Gomez in last 5 years aswell so one of the better ones in London. Palace are a bit stuck now. Go for a Dyche seems logical with how he plays and the sort who won't demand millions to spend compared to Lampard who probably would. Feels like Parish is a bit scared now to get the american investors to spend more as a few years back they signed all of Benteke, Sakho, Cabaye and Townsend in the same summer and were expected to push into top half but it never happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
