# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Bridge’s post on Favre

**A number of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to more details on Lucien Favre’s proposed move to Selhurst Park provided by [Michael Bridge](https://twitter.com/michaelbridge_/status/1407767231367372805?s=21).**

It emerged on Wednesday evening that [Favre has agreed to take over at Palace](https://twitter.com/domfifield/status/1407772039025508353?s=21) and become Roy Hodgson’s long-term successor.

Favre is now waiting to be [awarded a work permit](https://twitter.com/domfifield/status/1407772039025508353?s=21) to manage in England, a complicated process that is already underway.

[Sky Sports reporter Bridge](https://twitter.com/michaelbridge_/status/1407767231367372805?s=21) reiterated on Twitter that talks between Favre and the Eagles went ‘very well’, adding that discussions regarding the players from the academy have also gone well.

The likes of [Jesurun Rak-Sakyi](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2021/april/jesurun-rak-sakyi-signs-professional-crystal-palace-deal/) and [David Omilabu](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2021/march/david-omilabu-signs-professional-contract-with-crystal-palace/) were two standout players from the club’s academy to sign professional deals last season, and it seems as if Favre likes what he sees in the club’s youth ranks.
