# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Steve Parish comments

**Many Crystal Palace fans are excited after the club [tweeted](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1411671280512901122) comments from Steve Parish detailing the plans that he, sporting director Dougie Freedman and new manager Patrick Vieira have in terms of signing players this summer.**

Relief will likely engulf large parts of southeast London following conformation that former Arsenal captain Vieira is the new manager at Selhurst Park \[[BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57707859)\], coming almost two months after Roy Hodgson stepped aside \[[cpfc.co.uk](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2021/may/roy-hodgson-to-step-down-as-crystal-palace-manager/)\].

Looking ahead, the Palace recruitment team will have a job on their hands building a successful team ahead of the new season, owing to the departure of 22 first team players detailed within the Eagles’ retained list at the start of June \[[The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15169032/crystal-palace-release-twenty-two-players/)\].

Nevertheless, Crystal Palace chairman and part-owner Steve Parish has whetted the appetite of many supporters as he looks to positively influence transfer proceedings.

As per the [club’s Twitter channel](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1411671280512901122/photo/1), he outlined: “We have a lot to do to prepare in the coming weeks and I look forward to working closely with Patrick and Dougie in bringing in some new faces to help us all to a successful season.”

In light of these comments, loads of Palace supporters took to Twitter to express their delight at what Parish had to say.
