Rather than concentrating on this list let’s consider those others either out of a job, out of contract in the summer or who will probably be pushed out by stupid owners. My list would include:
Xabi Alonso. Won the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, a team about the size of Palace but without the potential. Most large clubs will feel he is not up to managing their expectations after his short spell at Real Madrid.
Eddie Howe. Has done well with Newcastle but will his Arab masters be satisfied with mid table and the occasional trip to Europe? When he gets the push he will probably want to come back down south….and who wouldn’t!
Luis Enrique Martinez Garcia. Struggling behind Lens in Ligue1 this season despite having a talented squad with loads of players from the PSG Academy (Palace beat PSG 7-3 in the International Cup 2022). EPL looks nailed on for him but which team? Outsider for the prestigious Palace job!
Andoni Iraola. Has been written off by many on here who expect him to be picked up by a top team. However, the history of inexperienced managers suggest they may wait to see how he performs in another appointment. Look at Thomas Frank, Rob Edwards, Nathan Jones, Patrick Vieira, etc to see how many are successful in larger clubs.
I’m sure we could come up with a few more.
