He should go to Spurs 
Great. Now Roy can stick the fecking boot in when they’re inevitably bottom of the table ten games in.
Fair play to him. That's a tough job to take on.
I get the feeling it will be a dissaster.
From Favre to Vieira? 
Didn't Palace once hired Frank De Boer? And now this?
Wait weren't they getting Favre?
That feels like a gigantic step down from Favre.
He pulled out
Theyre running out of choices
They missed City legend off his bio .
Be interesting to see how he gets on, I hope he does well, but suspect it’ll be a tough task.

From article:
* Deal has yet to be signed, but all parties expect an agreement to be rubberstamped toda
* On original set of targets (alongside Lampard, Dyche & Ismae
* Club pursued Santo & Favre without succe
* Bournemouth were also interested in Vieira, but went with Parker
"Favre had held positive talks with Palace and agreed a three-year contract. He had second thoughts before deciding not to sign."

Didn't he replace Favre at Nice?
Roy Keane and Gary Neville as his assistants.
I suspect this won't end well but good luck to him.
Yeah I can't see this one going well.
Palace behave weirdly don't they?

Sounds like @Pexbo
Former nice boss. That implies he's a bad boss now. If I were palace players i'd be shaking in me boots and cry meself to sleep every night.
Nothing wrong with that. No need to overlook him
Well he may sound like a fit for them to the owners but with the squad he's got and half of them are out of contract, he'll want to make major changes to get them better but they don't spend lots of money.
Is it gonna make Zaha want to stay? Probably not but might be able to invest his sale in players Vieira trusts.
Good luck to him. Very hard job

Not a convincing appointment
Has he been sacked yet?
wonder what the odds will be for him to be the first manager to get the sack in the Premier League? Will be putting a tenner on it for sure.
I for one will give him a chance
right Paddy you’ve 4 games to convince

I'll vey much enjoy watching this one play out
Why?He didn't do very well at Nice, so good luck Palace.
Very positive step.....
In ensuring they're a strong contender for relegation.

Players out of contract as well.
Few years back, Palace were doing a deal with some New Jersey based investors, loads of promises for rebuilding the stadium and more, as of today still zero progress.
It's a very strangely managed club for sure.
good luck to him, don't see this being a lasting or successful partnership
Interesting appointment to say the least
surely they could do better than random Man City legend?
What's Vieira's playing style been like as a coach? I'm wondering if they are going the De Boer route once again: get a coach that will instill a different style, then have zero patience to see it implemented and sack him five games in.
(Not that De Boer is a good coach, but it sure was a weird decision-making process at Palace to bring him in and sack him again so soon.)

Is he the first black manager in the Premier League? Delighted for him.
He did very well for two seasons with a Nice squad that wasn't particularly talented. The start of this season was difficult though.
I'm looking forward to seeing how he does in the Premier League. Always liked him as a player and appreciate his graft in management. I hope he does well.
As Brendan would say: He'll show character.
