  • Why don't they just get on with it - this is the obvious candidate

    Roger De Courcey would make a good Assistant Manager too...
  • I hear this fella wants to get back into English football..

    That's one way of getting kick started.
  • Petrescu looks a done deal now

    Heard on Friday from a Palace fan , that big Malky was on his way.

  • Put your money on Pet Recue.

    In London staying at Schevchenko's whilst his team has a home game - he's not there to play backgammon that's for sure.
  • Curbs in the frame now
  • Think Curbs may be only one who would take it.

    At the end of that video the Palace fans start singing "you dirty northern b*****d" to Cantona !
  • Sky saying Malky Mackay approached but turned them down.

    Oh you have to laugh. I know Cardiff are a bit of a basket case themselves at the moment but please.

  • They've already given his ex-right hand man in Moody a job and so probably thought they could convince Mackay to switch over too.

    To be kind, it's ambitious. To be realistic, it's deluded.
  • If Millwall are our c(*t filter then Palarse are our...
  • The bookies seem certain it's gonna be Petrescu. 1/12 this morning, with Dowie and Pulis at 12/1 and Curbs 4th favourite at 33/1.

    This would appear to corroborate that theory:

    Bit of a shame, his managerial record is reasonably good. Don't think he'll keep them up but probably good enough to make it a slightly less humiliating season for them.
  • Richard Cawley ‏@RichCawleySLP 1h
    Dan Petrescu happy to take #cpfc job for 30k a week according to reports. @PorterSLP just done the maths - that's £5m if on a 3-year deal.



    Whether that is money well spent, if accurate, we shall see but it shows the spending power that even the team bottom of the PL have.
  • Very surprised he wants to leave a decent job in Russia with a side who've just spent millions to manage a side in the championship

    Suspect the location is part of the draw. Perhaps he enjoyed living in London when he was at Chelsea and sees this as a chance to move his family back here.

    Aside from that, and as you quite rightly point out, there's no logic to it at all.
  • Yeah just been told apparently his daughter is at school in London, so that must be why. Surely sees them as a stepping stone to a decent premier league job in a couple of years time.
  • Oh how I'd enjoy taking a "stepping stone" job at 30k p/week...!
  • Petrescu on a million pound bonus if he keeps Palace up.... i think that's one bonus that safe!

    I think we offered Pardew the same.

  • Maybe Pet Rescue isn't so certain after all. 1/12 last night, now drifted to 1/2.

    Love the Next Manager markets, crazy watching the odds fluctuate as new names get linked and others apparently fall out of the running.

    Ugly Iain's back down to 4/1, and we have a new runner also being offered at 4/1 as Sean Dyche has come into the running out of nowhere.

    Pulis now 16s, Curbs still 33s.

    Poor old Curbs, his like the smelly kid at school that no one will talk or go near to.
  • Very true. People behind the scenes at sky sports news must make a killing every time there's a new prem job up for grabs.

    Back manager
    Release statement that 'SSN understands Joe Bloggs is in talks with xxxx for their managers job'
    Watch people pile into the market backing that guy
    Lay off at much lower odds

    They'll have to talk to him eventually, must be running out of alternatives by now.

    Clearly something not going to plan. Their chairman was quoted in various articles over the last week or so saying that he expected to have someone in place by early last week, the middle of last week, the end of last week, the weekend, and Talksport were reporting yesterday that they were set to name a new manager today. Must be getting knocked back left, right and centre.

    For an established manager its not the best option as they will not want their record to show a relegation, even if it were pre ordained before they joined. For an up and coming manager it could kill the momentum of his career. One of the big problems is not the relegation but what do you do with, what is a misfit squad, after relegation. Holloways indictment of them as his parting shot means that there are unlikely to be clubs rushing to take the players off Palaces hands and it sounds like they have little appetite to play in the Premier let alone the Championship.
  • Petrescu drifted a little further out to 4/6, 6/1 now for Dyche and Dowie. Basically the bookies have got no more idea than we have.

    Must stop looking at Oddschecker and do some work!
  • All true but the same could and most likely was said of Sunderland a few weeks ago.

    Poyet gets a couple of wins and they are breathing down the necks of Fulham, Norwich, Stoke, West ham with 25+ games to go. High risk but high reward and not just financially. Any manager who keeps Palace up this year will be seen as miracle worker.

    Sunderland have a (poor) Premier League squad though, while Palace have a squad weaker than the one that scraped out of the Championship last season. While both are high risk the Nigel's job presents a much harder (impossible) task really.

    Its been a while since Palace and Ollie parted company , most managers are normally appointed within a fortnight , which tends to suggest :

    A) The board haven't really got a clue who to appoint?
    B) Its not a very desirable job?
    C) The transfer budgets shot to pieces?
    D) No one wants to manage a team with a fan base called Nigel?
