- Vieira's last words as Palace manager
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says he will not rush appointing Patrick Vieira's successor after the Frenchman was sacked following 18 months in charge.
Vieira has left Palace after a run of 12 games without a victory in all competitions - with their last win coming against Bournemouth on New Year's Eve.
That run saw Palace exit the FA Cup at the third round to Premier League bottom side Southampton, while they have slipped to within three points of the relegation zone.
Parish told Sky Sports News: "Of course it is a shame. I have an enormous amount of time and respect for Patrick [Vieira] and what he did for us. He got us to an FA Cup semi-final and we had a fantastic season last year.

"It is a tough job and I don't know who is out there. Someone like a Jesse Marsch? What Palace are used to under Patrick Vieira might be different to what a new manager comes in and implements.

Former Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira after the Eagles' 1-0 defeat to Brighton:
"I'm concerned about scoring goals. When I look at the team performance and looking at the work ethic and our organisation and how the players execute our plan, I was pleased with that.
"The worry I have is that when you create those opportunities but you don't take them of course, you start to be worried about that. We have to score those goals.
"The players, especially those front players, have to change their mindset. We have to be more aggressive going forward, we have to be more aggressive in the last third. I'm not going to stop putting the pressure on that I'm putting on them at the moment until we get we want.
