Surely they are smarter than that?
If they think that Roy's tactics are lacking, wait until they see this fella's.
They would be a lot better off with Ted Lasso .....
Well if they enjoy turgid negative football they are in for a real treat next season.
I would love this.
Always good when teams around you weaken
All the better if they lose Eze and Olise in the summer too!
I find this very hard to believe but you never know.
Poor old Palace
That's them buggered then

Parker wouldn't play them - they are far too attacking and good
Mad if true.
I thought they'd been tracking Cooper for a while (interviewed him when Viera got the job a few years back) - he's a much better fit if they want to instil a more progressive brand of football.
Sign Parker and he'll probably give de Boer's quickest firing record a run for its money.
It amazes me that no matter how bad a manager is there is always another idiotic chairman that employs them. ::scarf::

The Camden Palace maybe.
Surely they aren't that stupid. He's been a complete failure everywhere he's been.

Perhaps they are worried about getting relegated, he has a good record of getting teams up after spending a lot of money
Scott Parker needs a lower Championship job and a bit of a rebuild of his reputation.
They can employ him as they really will be struggling to improve with him in charge and a backward step after sacking Roy.
Could be a controversial appointment with the fans, who've seemed critical of Roy's defensive minded game.
Great News, because we need three clubs in the EPL to perform worse than us next season. Scott Parker can be depended on to help Fulham as the Crystal Palace Manager.
Can't wait for Parker to unleash Joel Ward as the creative spark in midfield and play Cheikh Doucoure up top.
Rumour lille are ready to accept a 20 mill bid and olise player exchange for ivan cavaleiro.
It seems incredible with the amount of upcoming talented managers that Palace would go for Parker?
In the Championship alone there's Martin (probably will stay Soton), Maresca (will stay Leicester), McKenna (can be poached), Carrick (can be poached).
Vincent Kompany even with a relegation this year would be a decent shout for Palace.
I haven't read any reports suggesting that Parker is in the frame for the Palace job, most I've read name Cooper, who would be a much better fit. After his last three appointments surely Parker is a busted flush now? As had been said previously on multiple threads a good player doesn't necessarily make a good manager, Lampard and Gerrard immediately spring to mind to name but two. Parker thinks he is much better than he actually is, until he reigns his ego in I don't think he will ever make the grade but now a lot of clubs will surely not want to take a chance on him. I was so glad when he left us, although the manner in which he did rankles, and remain so.
Any truth to this and I think we need to bring in Parkers Agent in any capacity. The guy is a genius.

Well Parker has had a couple of payoffs to keep the wolf from the door!
I was talking to a Palace fan the other day who thought it was time for Roy to move on and when I floated the idea of Parker taking over thought that may be OK.
I suspect Parker's poor reputation is secure behind the Cottage gates and his CV may look pretty good.
I can't really imagine any premier league club appointing Parker when there are better options available but as said above, good from our point of view as it would create another relegation favourite.
I was just going to suggest we move in for Andersen & Lerma if Palace are relegated then Lerma slams in a beauty.
Chelsea players are a disgrace. They lose the ball and make zero effort to get it back. Chelsea are stuck with this bunch for 5-8 years :slap: :slap:

Ken Bates will be happy as we reclaim our rightful place at the top of the west London league. And someone suggested our season was over?
