Many Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to a report from the BBC regarding manager target Patrick Vieira.

News broke on Tuesday lunchtime that Palace are set to appoint the Frenchman as their new boss after an agreement in principle was reached.

The club have begun the process in regards to a work permit for the 45-year-old, and the BBC provided an update on Tuesday evening.

They claim that Vieira could be confirmed as Roy Hodgson’s successor in the next 24 hours.

Talks between the two parties have progressed quickly, and Vieira, who has been out of work since December, is set to sign a three-year contract at Selhurst Park.

It appears to be third time lucky for Palace, who came close in their attempts to land Nuno Espirito Santo and Lucien Favre.
