Calling Alan Pardew.
Great pedigree, he delivered an FA Cup to tiny CP.

Can't say Ive ever been bothered about Bournemouth or Saints - no history of a rivalry with either of those?!
Weeell Saints v Spurs 1978 still lurking in the background for some of a certain vintage.
I fully expect Bournemouth will be a selling club and all their better players will be leaving, and they will be facing a relegation fight in the Championship. It would therefore be a backward step for a manager of CH's quality.
Combine that with the lack of quality training facilities and the new ground being moth balled, it becomes an unattractive job.
That could be a good shout, if he wants to up sticks and move south. A progressive young management pairing could well be a blessing for boremuff. Won't cost them the earth, can work within a tight budget and if they sell their playing assets, could nurture some lower league might be
Smug Eddie to Palace?
I'd hate that as I think he'd do quite well for them.
Didn’t he let them down years ago?
Said he was going to take the job at Selhurst, then stood on the steps of Dean Court and said “Bournemouth till I die”, and then promptly went to Burnley a week later
I think when Hodgson finally goes they will promote Ray Lewington internally.

I think he'd do pretty badly, possibly even relegate them. Palace have survived the last few years due to Hodgson drilling the shit out of them defensively and relying on Zaha in attack. Howe is useless defensively and is all about the ball and attack. Palace's squad is spectacularly unsuited to Howe's style of football, especially if Zaha leaves.
Hughton would be a much better fit at Palace than Howe and I would be surprised if he wasn't in the frame for the job. It was reported that talks between Bristol City and Hughton hit a hitch a few days ago.
