41 points and a game in hand.
Barring your last sentence, I think, sadly, you’re broadly right.

I’m not so sure, he previously rejected us apparently preferring to stay at Bournemouth, and a few days later he signed for Burnley.

Who would you prefer Roy or Eddie and why ...would the Palace faithful (once back in stadia) put up with another season of ‘pragmatic’ football
Ps you seem to be one Palace fan on here that it’s possible to have a sensible conversation with.

Yes, it's almost impossible to catch them now.
We must warmly congratulate them and not breathe a word about ill fortune or XG.
Then we must bottle the boiling, seething fury at having finished below them to make sure that this never ever happens again
I am not sure the football would be quite as pragmatic with crowds watching if I am honest, Players like Eza, and wilf come alive with when fans are cheering or booing them, Palace have really been playing with a injury hit back four all season that in its self has made the team "safety first" that is deemed as boring.
Palace have beaten the teams they have had to beat this season and I wouldn't be surprised if they were top of the bottom 10 mini league. Our only big result were a 3.1 win against Man u a draw with Leicester, Arsenal, Spurs and a good win against Leeds, other that that we have just done what we should be doing and beating teams around us.
Thats what you do when you have a Wiley old fox like Roy.

As you have now seen, there are two.
Who are the front runners then?

Sadly this, WS. They clearly know what to do to finish above us, even when they start a season with 7 losses and no goals. They finished 11th with 44 points then.
We've both very much Potter-in, but the league table doesn't lie. Credit where it's due to Roy who's clearly still more than able to manage in the top flight.
But... it can't go on forever. Palace will need a rebuild of the playing squad. And the Albion's stability on and off the pitch will prevail.
So bring on next season and please bring it on with at least one new striker who knows where the goal is.
"This time next year..."
Right.
Next season, nobody even thinks about Brighton finishing above Palace. Nobody mentions it, nobody starts a thread about it. Nobody breathes it. It's a scenario which we all accept is completely and utterly impossible.
Because every time it comes up as even a HINT of a possibility, it dies again.

Which one would I prefer? If it’s to ensure our ongoing Premier League survival, I’d probably stick with Roy and his admittedly ‘pragmatic’ brand of effective football. I could certainly see Eddie making us more attractive to watch but I’m not convinced he’d be capable of the massive rebuild we probably need. So I guess I’m a fence sitter if that’s the only options.

Apparently.
I really hope it’s none of those ‘front runners’.
O.K. See what you mean.

They should run a Samaritans advert next to that list.

Is that supposed to be funny?
I disagree, Dyche and Cooper would fit right in. Lampard is slightly untested but could be decent. Some strange names on that list, probably just to take money from the stupid.

Nor am I, it’s a ludicrous suggestion.
You do realise that is the bookies field for the next Palace manager?
It’s - thank god - not a shortlist.
