Didn't do great at Nice, considering the huge job needed at Palace Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't last more than 3 months and someone like Allardyce returns temporarily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that gamble may as well have gone for Cooper at Swansea or Lampard. As you say, Viera hasn't pulled any trees up in his time and will have to get used to the Prem and English football, which has changed a lot since he last played.

Dunno if he's crap, he's still very young as a manager with just one major job under his belt, though his achievements as a player probably automatically gives him an advantage over coaches of the same profile. Took Nice to 7th in his first season. His win rate there is better than any (permanent) Palace manager in the last 15 years except for Pulis and Pardew: It depends what Palace's project is and what they want to do. They've got a ****ton of players ending their contracts tomorrow so this summer is a massive gamble in many ways. They probably see it that they can afford to take a chance on him, give him a chance to build a team with very little pressure and if they stay up it'd be a bonus. It's not an appointment I'd want us to make in that situation of course but I'm interested to see how it pans out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vieira is not an appointment I would make but jury is still out on him whether he's crap or not. It's too early to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 Just look at that list of Palace managers above. Dowie, Peter Taylor, Warnock, Holloway, Pulis, Pardew, Allardyce, Hodgson. Can you really blame them for going for someone with even a modicum of sexiness? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 You've got to love Palace playing meme manager bingo. Pulis, Warnock, Pardew, Allardyce is almost yoyo club House. They're only missing Sparky and Moyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 18 minutes ago, Babylon said: Puel had Nice 4th. Which is why Vieira was a risk for them too. He got them to 5th in his second season before being fired for being 11th and losing 5 on the trot. Like @Kokesaid Puel had 15 years of experience in that league as a manager and another 20 as a player. Palace have finished 10th-15th since coming up - he's still a risk in respect of their predicament and his lack of managerial experience in the league, but other than that it's a brave move for me. Just to be clear Palace are one of the only London clubs I actually like so I hope it works out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really feel it could be another special one Not sure I agree. Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool and even man city will be stronger. With other clubs close to us (villa, Leeds and west ham) all likely to improve also. I think our chances of top 4 are worse than the last 2 seasons. You’d expect at least one of the transition teams to get it right (arsenal, wolves, Spurs, Everton) palace aren’t in our league any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 (edited) Vieira is French and is extremely well connected in Ligue 1. Where 19 out of 20 clubs are conducting a fire sale as we speak. At exactly the time Palace need a whole new squad. If he could bring in and integrate a fair amount of underpriced young talent … he could play an 18 - 24 months squad-reshaping role not unlike Puel’s here. Then be jettisoned.

st albans fox Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 It’s obvious that in the Everton boardroom, ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’ ……. surely they could have found someone who hadn’t been successful at their Merseyside neighbours …….
