Was he really at the game last night? Would he - or some similar figure with a memorable connection to the club - help in any way whatsoever? NC unlikely to be given the boot, otherwise this season will really lurch to farce. | | | |  |

Add to that the fact that half our squad wouldn't know who they were so whilst it might get a reaction from the fans it's unlikely the squad would respond to them. Probably the same for Ainsworth too. | |

I saw him coming out of reception last night after the game looked like he still cared which was a bonus! I know it’s cheap journalism of me lol but why else would he be there especially a mid week game against Sunderland? Can understand millwall as played for both etc maybe an interim appointment or bring him in alongside Critchley ? | |

“Why else would he be there”
Maybe just going to a game?
No need to read something into everything so yes, cheap ‘journalism’ ;)
Critchley not doing well but the players need a right kicking up the ‘arris. They are the ones who cross the white line.
Player power is beyond control, even at this level. They are literally playing with the club’s future then fk off when it suits them. | | | |

Yes but….. we all slagged fat boy off for doing the same attending a game at Glasgow rangers | |

Agree about the players but Critchley said Fleetwood was unacceptable, also said that after losing at Hull. He isn’t giving the players a kick or seemingly anything else to get them to perform better. Maybe that’s to do with him and his ability.
However, I do not think Derry would be the answer. Warnock could have been, but that was unlikely.
Wilder may be the answer or perhaps a foreign coach (there was one linked before Critchley got the job).
Whatever is done it needs to happen soon as this poor run has gone on too long with no end in sight. | | | |

But at the time Beale was employed by another club,us. Shaun Derry is currently out of work. | | | |

Will Ferrell was at Loftus Road as well last night. You think he fancies the job? | | | |

Agree always thought we should have gone on all out for a Wilder type interim appointment until end of the season. Used the Beale compensation to get someone decent in short term, rather than plonk a 3 and half year contract on Critchley and his coaching team while in the middle of the season for a bloke who walked out on Blackpool for a supporting role at Aston Villa. Reckon we have been done over again by Critchley and his people, aint coming unless get a long enough deal for protection. Thought from the start of Critchley that all the Beale money will just go to his sacking, wrong manager, wrong time and wrong approach from the club again. | | | |

Why wouldn't he.
We'll be playing his mates Wrexham team soon at this rate. | | | |

Isn’t he a coach at Palace?
Dougie Freedman also of Palace was there last month. Rumour was watching Chair. So I would guess Derry doing the same (or scouting a Sunderland player)
If it was to a scout Chair they won’t be interested in him after his recent form | | | |
| Derry on 12:04 - Feb 15 with 2970 views | CLAREMAN1995 |
Fired because he ripped their players a new one and PV did not like it.
Palace have slipped miles back too from the team at the start of the season who could beat anyone | | | |

Interviews well apparently, and this board loves a good interviewee.
Will Ferrell as DoF, overseeing Nathan Jones and Shaun Derry in a dream team old skool pairing...well that's just shouting out to me on so many levels. | |

hmm, i wonder who the source of the story was... its so brazen its actually funny
"Derry's comments were focused on passion and playing for the Palace badge with pride, but the problem being such displays of passion are not Vieira's style - and even worse it was not the only time it has happened."
Yes, I'm sure Viera really disliked players playing with passion!
No one cares about middling coaches coming and going at teams like Palace. so how did this story get out to the press? Who stood to gain from this?
Do you really want someone like that in our environment, playing the press against other parties to promote or defend themselves.... | | | |

Derry failed at the club he supports. The one from his home city where he came through the youth system and grew up a big fan of. Which is very strange as presumably he shouted and showed a lot of passion for the badge. Its almost as if it takes more than that to manage a football team | |

What we're looking for is a modern-day Genghis Khan, but with the sweet, maternal touch of Ingrid Bergman in 'The Inn of the Sixth Happiness'. | |

Good post here and raises a valid question about todays players.
Derry went above his position and shouted at players to work harder and take pride in the club jersey which got him the sack.
Was it the players who were upset or PV who did not like being undermined and took his revenge.
Palace are soft ,they are not playing well maybe Derry was right but it cost him.
Does our manager rip the players in the dressing room or use kid gloves ,
Either way they are not doing the business sadly | | | |
| Derry on 14:19 - Feb 15 with 2226 views | kingsburyR |
Shout at the players?
You'd have a dressing full of agents in a shot!
Over paid, over indulged, under performing prima donnas.
Bar Field. I thought he had a solid game! | |

Would stand out like a sore thumb, too serious compared to the rest of the clowns running the club. | |

Who is soft? The guy who got sacked and then had his agents/handlers put out some puff nonsense in the press explaining why he got sacked (he got sacked for telling the players to take pride in the club- really, come on?) Or Viera who responded with complete dignity and hasnt said a negative word about Derry and acknowledged his contributions to the club?
But even if we accept your premise: yelling at people isnt good man management. You dont get the best out of people
Palace is soft? They're comfortably mid-table on a relatively small budget in their, what- 9th straight season in the prem? They've gotten results against Utd and Newcastle within the last few weeks
They continue to buy cheaply and develop young players under Viera in the first team- Eze, Olise, Guehi, Joachim Anderson to could name but a few... we could only strive to have the infrastructure in place that Palace has and its comical to think that a guy whose failed in every job (and got Notts County relegated) has anything to add here | | | |

Hit the nail on the head !!
Many, me included would love to have played at a pro level with thousands cheering me on.
They are 'living the dream', maybe not at the very top level but high enough to earn a decent living, and the opportunity to go higher with a decent application of their skill levels.
Maybe our sport has reached a zenith and though I am all for players being cared for and rewarded well by their employers, the boot (excuse the pun} really is on the other foot now and supporters. club owners are just 'cash cows' for players and the coaching staff, no matter that the dross served up. | | | |
