With the experience that Roy possesses managing in the top flight, he could be the perfect manager to ensure Crystal Palace stay safe this season from relegation and his appoint at this stage is crucial for him to organize the squad.
Crystal Palace play their next PL game against Southampton at Home on Saturday and the place will be bouncing to greet their new manager. All the best to him.
