Yeah it’s a tricky one Tad. It’s a difficult one to judge on what any manager has done previously at other clubs. What works at one club won’t work at another and viceversa

I agree
it's difficult. hindsight is a great thing

Really hope Viera is just a smokescreen.

Potter would be a brilliant appointment IF we could sell him the project.
Final interviews this week so hopefully we'll get a candidate in before the end of the week fingers crossed.

Simply has to be done in the next day or so... we are behind the 8 ball big time.

I do wonder if it's not going to be Farke as i think it would have been done by now but having said that all the managers being talked about are out of work... however convincing someone like Potter would take time... Viera apparently wanted the job in January after Marsch and then Gracia got sacked, apparently he's got a soft spot for the club

Adam Pope has said Raul (Real Madrid great) is in the frame too apparently.... he's entered the betting out of nowhere

I think we tried him in January but he didn`t want to come.
I would imagine he will have better offers at a mid to lower table team in Spain.
I too think it will be Viera which I would not be excited about either.
Simon Jordan big mouth that he is saying he`s heard not too many good things about Viera during his time at Palace.
Go all out and get Potter unless he`s biding his time for a gig mid season at another PL club.

more chance of Brian potter

Viera would be preferable to Parker or Gerrard, but is pretty underwhelming. He's top of the list according to the Guardian
