How will the media and fans refer to your club now?
Will it be:
a) Frank Lampard’s Crystal Palace
b) Frank Lampard’s Palace
c) Frank Lampard’s Boys
or
d) Frank’s Team
I’m going for d.
[Football] Hodgson going.

Absolutely. I can go back to liking Roy again then too!

The irony is that the only time we HAVE finished above you in recent times, you STILL got the better of us.
I just hope you get relegated, but you never do so it's pretty pointless really. I'm happy enough with the consolation prize - finishing about 3 places behind you but with a far better set up behind the scenes, all the while watching Portsmouth continue to slum it in league one. That part never gets boring.
Bit pro scum. In last 10 seasons we’ve been in same div 6 times and twice finished above them. Only once has a team done the glorious double - us in the prem. pretty even, and as you say we are far more set up for the future than them!
You missed out Holloway who is retro but belongs in that list. Hughton was the closest we've had to one of those managers, but he's a far more likeable bloke that practically all of them.
Palace still need to collect Bruce and arguably Moyes as well at some point.

Strange them lot aren't even keeping him in some advisory capacity.
For me is he 2nd only to Moyes for manager of the year having well and truly polished a turd.
Let's hope this is the final hurrah of the Croydon lot before their long-awaited demise - although like every horror villain, they keep coming back to life when you least expect it.

We ticked off Bruce in 2001.

Bruce managed Palace in 2001. He left after 3 months to go back to Birmingham, so Palace took out an injunction against him.
Roy Hodgson is like the Prince Philip of football - seems to have been around for ever, big hit with the ladies in the Sixties.
I think its 100% his decision to go.

That was under the previous club though wasn’t it? Or the one before the 2003 one I guess? Probably the original Crystal Palace FC tbf. Although no doubt paid for with non existent money that just got wiped off to 1p in the £

A better appointment(for us ) than even Frank DeBoer.
I don't think I've ever laughed as much as when he left you after 3 months to go to Birmingham City. And then you got an injunction to stop him working.Weren't you too of Div One at the time?

Could I have frankball?
Of course my dear. But be sure to replace the 'Fr' with 'W' as some of your supporters (I'm thinking the Always Ultras) will surely end up doing once they've got a taste of what he has to offer.

Palace have a large number of players that will be out of contract this summer. Players like Patrick Van Aaholt, Sakho, McCarthy, , Townsend, Cahill can walk away for nothing. PAV is already reported as doing that. On the one hand this can open up potential for decent new players coming in ( they are lucky that it's a buyers market at present), but on the other it takes time for new players to bed in especially with a new manager. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Frank Lampard is bookies favourite to take the job. I'd hate it to be Dyche, but I can't see him taking the role with the uncertainty around the playing staff.
On top of that I can see no reports of anyone even mildly interested in Zaha and so the transfer kitty for incoming players is likely to be on the limited side.

Well done good old boy Roy, looking forward to the crumbling of the team to match the stadium!!!

Top bloke , he's already forgotten what most managers are just learning , can't see him staying out of the game for too long though and he's guaranteed some cushy work with SKY hopefully in place of that screeching twit Carragher .

All Frank will have to do is tweak your well organized defensive style ,which for some reason has let in 62 goals while Albion have let in 42 at the mo .Although not sure what Man City will be ,but its strange stat when your fans complain about the style.
