# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Howe update

**Crystal Palace and Celtic appear to be battling it out for Eddie Howe’s services.**

And a number of Palace supporters have been reacting to an update regarding the club’s pursuit of the former Bournemouth boss.

According to a Palace source, as reported by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/parish-plan-for-crystal-palace-revealed-and-celtic-caught-in-the-middle/), Eagles chairman Steve Parish is leading the search for a potential successor to Roy Hodgson and feels Howe has a lot to offer.

Talks have been held and Parish wants the 43-year-old to change the mindset of the dressing room and play a more expansive style of football.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche and the available Frank Lampard are also on a [three-man Selhurst Park shortlist](https://www.footballinsider247.com/parish-plan-for-crystal-palace-revealed-and-celtic-caught-in-the-middle/).

Howe has had [second thoughts](https://www.footballinsider247.com/parish-plan-for-crystal-palace-revealed-and-celtic-caught-in-the-middle/) on a move to Celtic after [verbally agreeing](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-howe-reaches-verbal-agreement-with-celtic-after-london-talks/) to take over in Glasgow and is leading the way in Palace’s search for a new boss alongside Dyche.
