Would you bring back woy?

[blingo]

I would not think twice about it.

I would not think twice about it.

Not even thought of it once.

Bring him back for what?  As an advisor to Parker? As a General Manager? Doesn't seem any point. What we lack is not a good coach or manager but a decent recruiting system.

I think Roy could work maybe work , with his system -of  rigorous rehearsing of defensive roles in training, and he'd definitely make sure we had sound cb's, but his system with  defence starting from  the forwards, like Zamora, might help our existing  defenders.

But he's at Palace, and is in his 70's, so it's not realistic that he will return -he probably thinks that keeping Palace up is hard enough anyway!

But I think Parker is a good manager too, and has probably learnt a lot from watching Roy's teams, as well as the managers he's worked, as player and coach.
Could anyone else do better with the existing Fulham team? maybe Parker accomplishes more with them them than most could. Roy had better players overall when he was at Fulham, i think.

You have buried your head in the sand, are you sure you're not Ostrich Watch in disguise?

[absenteeism]

Why mock his speech impediment?

Roy is a Fulham legend

[BestOfBrede]

I'd get Ray Lewis back to assist Scott but not Roy.
Nothing other than age in saying that.

[sunburywhite]

It would be marvellous to have Roy coaching SP

[ScalleysDad]

No. That moment has passed.

[filham]

Yes as Director of Football but the coaching future is with Parker.

The essence of Roy was drill drill drill.......which created the Thames Barrier. We won't get Roy again, but developing that aspect of his coaching would allow Parker to turn our bunch of defending strangers into a cohesive and effective unit, as it has been with past groups of players.

[Bassey the warrior]

Show him a bit of respect, no need to take the mickey out of his speech impediment.

In answer to the question, I don't think bringing back a manager in the twilight of his career is a wise move.

[Mr K.Dilkington]

Duh...

Agree 100%. That was something that as soon as Roy left was never maintained / developed, we just lost it. We should bring Brede back as a defensive coach.

If only, great memories. Not gonna happen, palace is gotta be his last club before a nice retirement.
