Hopefully he will take notice of what happened to Rosenior, big team too quickly, 2/3 good years at Palace and then move on, Palace, being in London is a bigger catch than Bournemouth, hopefully he will see it that way.
 
I doubt Parish has even made contact yet, let alone conducted a first interview. But nevermind! Palace are in next season's Europa Cup and so Parish has at least one obvious question he can ask...

Your not saying Parish has tapped up some names on the list? More likely he wrote a few names on the back of a napkin with a "to do later" note to himself.

The process has been more comprehensive than you have illustrated and hopefully it will reach its conclusion in short order.
I have nothing further to add.

How do you know how far into the process the club is? Are you an insider? Or are you merely speculating or overheard it from a man walking his dog on Brighton beach?
 
BBC reporting that we have made our best pitch/offer to Iraola and that he has until the end of the week to decide (or the end of the weekend, as they put it. Which I think is the end of the week?!).

Another report (from a slightly higher calibre of clickbait site) says...

According to reports from Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has effectively rejected the opportunity to become AC Milan manager in favour of taking charge at Selhurst Park.

The outlet reports: “Iraola has been pursued by other clubs in recent weeks. Leverkusen in Germany. Benfica in Portugal. Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The latter has immediately become AC Milan’s biggest rival.”

Iraola is reportedly unconvinced by Milan’s project, while remaining in the Premier League appeals to him because his family are settled in England.

Other reports claim Palace would hand Iraola three times more money to spend than Milan this summer.

Gold-digging whore.

All jokes aside, this is fantastic news if true.
 
Iraola probably thinks Palace are a little step up from Bournemouth being richer, more established, bigger stadium and in London. A move to a Champions League team might be an over reach on his part and ruin his reputation like Amorion or Rosenior. Not many big clubs with vacancies either.

That's probably the key, isn't it?
Perhaps he's deciding between either keeping his name out there by doing well at Palace for a couple of years, perhaps learning a bit about European football with us away from the media spotlight of a big club before going up to the big time later, or just taking a break and waiting.

On one hand, he is still very young and can certainly afford a couple of years with us. On the other, most managers depreciate in value when they are in work; he is probably as hot a property right now as he's ever going to be. Totally successful, totally untainted. Although not many big jobs are available right now, they probably will be soon enough, and if he just sits on his arse at home in the meantime he can't ruin his reputation!
