    Of all the clubs that could be accused of racism, Palace would be funniest...

    I think the argument about racism in football refers to the managers not the players.

    It just feels like we’re waiting for the first really successful black manager to blaze a trail. And once they have it’ll stop it either being an issue, or a presumption of being an issue, whichever it is.

    Hopefully that man will be Liam Rosenior…

    Any racism against football players would be obvious because we can all see who is best by their performances on the pitch.
    With managers there are so many factors to be taken into account and fans dont know a lot of what goes on so it's more difficult to judge.
    My personal opinion is that Viera was sacked because the American investors panicked about the possibility of relegation.
    His position wasnt helped by claims that he was too soft on the under performing players.
    He also didnt help himself by getting rid of Shaun Derry in January. Derry was a lot less forgiving with players who were playing poorly.

    After Textor's investment I would assume that Parish's share is even less

    Palace Midco Uk Limited owns more than 75% of CPFC 2010 Limited
    Palace Holdco Uk Limited owns more than 75% of Palace Midco Uk Limited
    John Textor owns 40% of Palace Holdco Uk Limited
    The three American investors and Parish are directors of Palace Holdco Uk Limited

    So by my reckoning John Textor owns nine fortieths of Crystal Palace.

    Or 22.5%


    Has Peter's maths puzzles replaced Chazzes Saturday quiz by any chance?

    'more than 75%' is usually Companies House code for 100%
    So he owns 40%

    Arsenal 4-1 C Palace
    The sacking worked out well.

    Hodgson’s coming back until the end of the season.

    Utterly bizarre.

    Would be like us sacking Rosenior and bringing in Phil Brown (although I reckon Brown is still sharper than Hodgson) to keep us up.

    I wonder if he still thinks Haaland still isn't physical enough for the premier League....

    Good luck to him, but I think he takes palace down

    Given the run in Palace have got and the fact that there are so many teams currently who are there or thereabouts for relegation I think Palace will stay up.

    But if they don't it'll be entirely of their own making and they'll deserve it for these two baffling decisions.

    the club hasnt supported Veira with signings
    Palace are playing teams below them which could mean they have a better chance of beating them but it also means that if they lose a match teams could go above them
    their 12th position they have stuck to wont last much longer

    I don't know why they got rid of Vieira,it was baffling.They had a hard run of games but now go on a run of potential 6 pointers...A couple of wins against relegation rivals would see them safe,a couple of losses and they could go down.

    I wish him well and if I had to put money on it I'd say they'll survive.

    Think they'll just have enough - games against Leicester, Leeds, Everton and Southampton coming up so they need to get a few points from those.

    I think we will be playing Southampton and Bournemouth next season - either Wham, Wolves, Leicester or (hopefully) TWS for the other relegation spot

    It's mental how quickly managers who are highly rated as the next big thing get discarded when things get a bit tough.

    It must be expensive paying managers off all the time, and clearly all these resets and start-overs must make it hard for clubs to develop their teams in the long term. It's rare that a manager ever gets to stay in a job long enough to have a squad entirely of his own.

    It's so strange to me that football is this immensely competitive environment where everyone is looking for the next tiny marginal performance gain, yet clubs are so reckless when it comes to appointing and sticking with managers. Palace surely were on a good path with Vieira and with a bit of backing they might've gone places.
