Crystal Palace would be making a “very brave decision” by appointing Patrick Vieira as the club’s new manager, according to former owner Simon Jordan. Jordan, though, believes it would be something of a gamble to hand Vieira the job, given his relative lack of managerial experience. “This is a very brave decision,” former Eagles chairman Jordan told talkSPORT. “If you look at it, it has been (Sam) Allardyce, (Tony) Pulis, Hodgson and (Alan) Pardew, all established English, Premier League managers that have been able to stabilise Crystal Palace in the Premier League. “I always wanted, and I still want to come to manage in the Premier League, because like what you were saying earlier, because of the passion of the fans,” Vieira said.
