No, please - let him stay there for ever . . . and ever . . . etc!!
A palace fan has posted these comments from a Plymouth fan when they appointed him.
Some are saying his comments are now very familiar and I am sure this guy has a crystal ball.

Argyle's experience of Holloway should be a warning. Within a week of pledging his undying love for the club ( bleeding Green and all that) he was meeting Mandaric in a service station and sealing his 'move of a lifetime' to Leicester City. His profligate spending and failure to understand the basics of defending lead to one of the most spectacular collapses ending in relegation to League 1.
He is a 'pied piper' but you will soon tire of his off the cuff and often ill judged comments. He will be great with the fans when things are going well but you will see a different side to him if things start to turn. Ask any Blackpool fan.
His scattergun approach to the transfer market and over reliance on his No. 2 ( I note Steve Thompson wants to stay) should cause concern. His heart on the sleeve approach to management might appeal but in the longer term his lack of principles means he will get found out. You are splendidly placed to secure another punt in the Premiership. To my mind the appointment of Holloway will put that at risk. It will great at first. He will say all the right things and press the right buttons media wise. Meetings with the fans will be a joy but it will all unravel under pressure and you will be left with the same feelings as Argyle, Leicester, Blackpool and QPR fans. A feeling of being shafted but the ride will have been enjoyable if you like being part of a circus. Good luck

I'm not at panic stations yet, but for the first time I think we'll drop out of the top six and I would rather we did on this form, than get thumped by Brighton over two legs.
I was sceptical when IH was first appointed, I was sceptical when we carried on winning and I'm even more sceptical now. I've never been a fan of his media whoring and his lack of tactical nous was obvious at Blackpool
I expected a lot more motivation of the players than I have seen so far, palace were one of the favourites to go down at the start of the season and have punched above their weight for most of it .
Now time to earn his bread in the next few weeks
