Just a set of idle thoughts arising from the number of ex Palace characters now on the staff team at Palace that I wondered might have crossed the boards mind or certainly SP's.
For those of you that go back as far as the 60's, you will have watched from afar the Shankly era that transformed Liverpool and then the steady stream of top managers that emerged from their back room staff. Shankly, Paisley, Fagan, Dalgleish covering from 1959 to 1991. Hugely successful until Sounness and then Roy Evans, where the wheels fell off a little. From afar it seemed that the club had a way of approaching football that was born in Shankly's era but evolved and grew. It wasn't about a tactic nor a formation. It was more of a culture and professionalism and a pattern that was imprinted from Youth through to first team and everyone knew where they stood etc. This coped with big name and youth players, new formations and trends. It wasn't a static thing. Whether you like them or not, back then they WERE THE team to beat. This was akin to a footballing dynasty.
I have no ITK insight at all to the current thinking at Palace but we now have a lot of ex Palace in various roles in the coaching staff. A lot of them coached and managed by SSC a club legend. I just wonder if part of the thinking behind this is to establish that deep and common understanding of what the place should be like. Today this would seem far fetched because many of those names haven't managed a club before. But I don't think anyone expected, Paisley, Fagan, etc to do quite so well either.
I am not proposing it particularly, it was just an idle thought and I thought I would jot it down instead of yet another post on the replacing everybody and his auntie thread.
I just wondered if it was the case who we might think might be a string potential candidate to groom to takeover from Al at the right time. NOTE I AM NOT suggesting Pards should go. My personal view, irrespective of the dynasty thought, is that we should plan to keep Pardew , hell and high water for a long, long time Changing for the sake of it is pointless to me and is one the weaknesses of the modern game.
So who are the good candidates for the Palace dynasty?
