Mikey, in the nicest possible way I can only describe your views as bipolar. Often they're well-thought out and sensible perspectives of a situation.
Other times, they're boarding on fanciful based on sentiment and principles - there's almost no middle ground which can be quite enjoyable.
Seriously, you'd expect Palace to take a huge gamble on an unproven manager (at this level) simply to fulfil a principle of providing opportunities?
Would you feel the same if it were Everton in such a situation? I'm not a personal fan of Fat Sam, but the requirements of the club are clear.
And that"s survival! Something Sam will more than likely offer, so they"ll offer him around two years and when the job is done he'll be off.
Rowett might be successful at this level but it's certainly a much bigger risk for their board, akin to Garde at Villa last year, so it won't happen.
