The Great Palace 2013 managerial farce. 31 days...THEY FOUND ONE!

I cannot believe I just read this:

I quite like Ian to be honest but not sure on his management prowess which is probably a good thing.

"The compensation being requested by Dynamo Moscow for another Palace target, Dan Petrescu, is also a problem for their owners."

A problem? I thought promotion was a nice little earner.

They keep claiming they have won the jackpot, lottery worth £120,000,000 but refuse to pay any club compensation. Something tells me they are skint already. Wonder how they'll fund a new stadium when they can't even stump up compensation to another club for their manager.

Help.

 

[James Bond's body double]

Help.

You getting worried yet?

I wonder whether its possible to NOT impress Parish. Seems to me that he has offered the Chief Jestership to just about every out of work or pisspoor manager in Europe.

Ending up with Dowie after being snubbed by every credible candidate will really depress the Croydon Clown Club.

Oh nice of you to come back, care to explain the atrocious editing skills to make you look less of a plonker?

So, to recap after Holloway walked away,

Pulis - too expensive, doesn't really want it because he doesn't think they can stay up
Colman - no particular interest in a return to the premier league
Millen - doesn't want it
Karanka - chose championship middlesbrough
Muelensteen - chose coaching role at relegation rivals fulham
Petrescu - "advanced talks" according to sky sports sources (usually paper journalists), but compensation too expensive might be a stumbling block
Dowie - cheap, available, willing?

EDIT:
O'Neill - Initial talks, went to ROI.

I just fail to see how they could appoint him, bloody hell surely the tea lady would be a better bet

 

[Stat Brother]

I know it's asking too much, but just given yourself a moment to saviour the possibility of:-

Dowie turning them down.


Mmmmmm delicious.

You are writing that as if you are guaranteed all that actually happened

She was in the running apparently, but Parrish wouldnt pay the canteen £6-50 in compensaton.

 

[Acker79]

Pulis - in the article above.
Colman - said so in his press conference announcing his new deal on friday (?maybe thursday)
Millen - article linked earlier in the thread
Karanka - Probably an article in this thread somewhere, if not, here you go: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24925713
Muelensteen - SSN tweet in this thread
Petrescu - on ssn, compensation in article above
Dowie - article above.

You are assuming I am making the claim each of them were offered the job. I didn't say that. All have been mooted through the rumour mill, newspapers, and ssn. I make no claims they were actually offered, officially or unofficially, the vacant role.

O'Neil - quoted as having talks with Palace, and then joined Ireland.

Okay that was funny, I have to admit

The thing is though it is easy to link someone with a job, either way I dont know wtf is going on and I wish I did. Just anyone but Dowie
