Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

[fernadez]

My pick also

Just like the pragmatism of the man. Goes in assess and weds his ideas to what he has. Some might call it managing.

 

[Jordinho]

I find Palace quite underwhelming given how many of their players we should apparently be buying. He has them safely mid table, as most competent managers do.

 

[fernadez]

He's got them on the verge of thier best ever league finish while also in a cup final.

They're solid at the back, press the ball well and move it quickly. I'm of the opinion that we don't need the shinest sexy manager. We have a competent squad, that needs proper management, before game and in games. A set up that brings the best out of the players and a focus on being solid. Pragmatism is high up on my wants from the new guy.

I’d choose him over the other mid-table managers linked. Nice article on him today. I think he’d be quite demanding, maybe too much so for some of our hierarchy.

Poch might just fit that bill

Olise was their one top drawer player, and they've handled losing him well.

Wharton, Guehi, Eze and Mitchell are good players, but you'd need 11 that level to be CL chasing

They also did the double over us this year. As did Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and....Forest.

Would you say we currently have more or less than 4 good players in our squad?

I know to be top 4/5 you need solid players all over but just wondered... Do we think we have a top 5ish quality squad already or do we lack something?

 

[Ron Burgess]

I want Poch but its unlikely if not impossible this summer.

I think we will get either Glasner or Frank. Fine with both, they can only improve on this brick show of a league season.

Thomas Frank would really be a solid choice, underwhelming name but I think he would surprise people how good he is. To do what he has done at Brentford. Eddie Howe levels.

I appreciate what Glasner has achieved.
He's done well to lose Olise and Andersen and make do with Richards and a thin squad. He's even made Will Hughes look reasonable. Lacroix has been sensational for them this year, that was a cheat code that Glasner brought with him from Wolfsburg.

Today I heard a Palace superfan saying that Glasner never rotates, he plays his best team in every game regardless, which is fine when you aren't in Europe but would not work IF IF IF we are in Europe. That is what people forget when talking about Frank and Glasner. They don't know what it is like to play Prem and Europe and FA Cup and League Cup, it is massively more difficult to play twice a week.

If you're playing without European demands and have a fit squad then why would you need to rotate?

It's down to the club to provide a squad with depth to battle on all fronts - if the manager doesn't have that then the league will take priority (as long as there is something to be achieved via that route)
