EPL Crystal Palace

[Peterdev]

Patrick Viera appointed on a three year contract.
Can see this ending in tears

 

[Notaswindonfan]

They’ve been down this road before that didn’t end well.

P12 W1 D2 L9

What record is that? Give him a chance

 

[ubermeistervonmeat]

Utterly bizarre decision

 

[mooro]

Bye bye palace

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Would have been better off reappointing Lombardo

 

[Peterdev]

Was Lampard interested?

 

[Leysboy]

I thought this would of been a good place for Wilder. I think he would of done well there!

Problem for Wilder is his life’s ambition was to manage his beloved Sheffield United. Whatever comes next is an anticlimax.

 

[Peterdev]

I think he had ideas about going to Newcastle.
Life after Sheffield United will never quite be the same again

Bye bye palace

Out of interest, why did people think Vieira was a bad appointment? Apart from winning at Man City he’s done OK and he’d been at Nice already.

To me, he appeared to be another Frank de Boer-style appointment. A sort of overpromoted manager who was brought in because his name carried some gravitas. Throw in that the best Palace can do each season is finish mid-table and it looked risky.

He’s proving me wrong this far. Conor Gallagher looks a very assured loan signing and he’s getting a team to gel well.

He’s spent a long time in coaching - he has put the hard graft in and it looks like it might pay-off. Always respected Vieira - a winner.

Yeah I have no particular idea but he’s got some experience and wasn’t an obvious dud. Mid table is good for Palace!

I don't think he was particularly well thought of after his time at Nice, where he was accused of not getting the best out the talent in his team and if I recall correctly, the backing of Ineos. Add in that Ligue 1 is a different kettle of fish to the Premier League and I guess people assumed the worst, but he is doing well very indeed.

Have palace actually done that well they’ve W2 D6 L2 and are five points clear of the bottom 3

Staying up comfortably is all they can really aspire to. The PL is so exciting

I think it’s more an improvement in the style of play, and a gradual improvement from last season

 

[Marked Ox]

And rebuilding the squad from a load of 30-somethings that were released at the end of last season to a young squad. Oh and beating Man City at the Etihad.
