[Albion] Viera has left Palace and Hodgson returns!

bobbysmith01 · Mar 21, 2023

Controversial I know, but I think it's a logical decision based on:
1. Who else would take it?
2. They only need a couple of wins and draws
3. He knows the club
4. He is capable of getting some points with his style of boring football.
5. He is available
6. No compensation to be paid
7. And I Win money on 4-1 bet
8. It's give us a laugh at their expense.

They will be fine, they somehow always are. Parish Is the problem at Palace, no idea on how to run a club and according to Simon Jordan, takes a £3 million a year salary and taken more out of Palace than put in. My Palace mate told me once he rather have Parish than Bloom?

If that’s true I am genuinely lost for words about what’s happening to my club.

Understandable. If Viera had been really poor, I could understand it from the point of view of getting in someone who knows your players, getting you through to summer, when you can rebuild - but Viera could have got you through to summer. Your poor run was against top half teams, and you weren't bad against us.

I’m off to find a damp stone to hide under on here, football wise.

The best thing for your mental health, and for your family, is for you to come and support us.

It's logical given where they are right now, which is managerless.

But that position is entirely self-inflicted.

If they had the courage of their convictions, as Bloom et al displayed through Potter's runs of poor results, they'd have held their nerve and kept their faith in the Viera project.

Lol, never.

Fair enough, we'll buy you a new shirt.

Been confirmed now. Old Roy is back!

Heard that Bright and Wright have been re-signed too.

To be fair the OAP always seemed to have Potters number.

Parish.

"We tried to follow our rivals philosophy of offering you expansive attacking football within a new 21st century stand, and unfortunately neither has worked out as planned. We're delighted to welcome back Roy, his team and his parked bus in our traditional and much loved vintage main stand".

They just needed to hold their nerve. Vieira would be a better manager for the poor run and getting them out of it. All his knowledge of the club and the players of a young promising manager in the bin. Of course they will get another young progressive manager - they all need a job - but that person will know they won't last the inevitable poor run. And of they get the opportunity - jump ship.

I normally hate Tuesdays…no warm after glow from the previous weekend and the next weekend is too far in the distance.

Today, however, is great.

Today CPFC has appointed Mr Roy Hodgson CBE as their manager. This, in itself, causes me to giggle. But an avid read of their Holmesdale forum has caused me to laugh like a drain. Maybe he will keep them up, maybe he won’t but the in-fighting and anguish over at their place is a thing of utter beauty. Bravo, Beaky!

Palace should've been 2-0 up b4 we scored, they pressed us very well. I'm sure they would've got the wins required under viera looking at the games ahead.

Shirley the players will be doing the lifting?

I hope they’ve had their manual handling training, they don’t want injuries as a result of helping Roy into/out of chairs/bed/the commode.

Text from my 16 year old son received as I was travelling to work:

“Palace have reappointed the half dead owl”

When you know you’ve done ok at parenting…

Rumours that the announcement was delayed by 24 hours because it’s Shepherds Pie on Monday’s were hotly denied by the incoming coach.

“It was the crumble with custard I was waiting for you prick.” he said.
