Football Corner

Peter Taylor has today been sacked as Crystal Palace manager. Palace have got off to a poor start to this Championship season only collecting 10 points from their opening 10 games. Taylor only took over at the Eagles a year ago after leaving Hull City.

Before and during (for a brief time) this job he was also in charge of the England under 21's and had a very successful time with them. He also had a very brief spell as England manager, for a friendly against Italy which incidentally was David Beckham's first game as captain of the England side.

So now that Taylor has gone who is next to take the Crystal Palace hot seat? Well the obvious candidate would be former Sheffield United manager Neill Warnock. He has been out of football since his United side were relegated at the end of last season. He has been linked with numerous jobs in the mean time but will he take over at the Londoners. He may well do.

But if he's not the man who will be. Well I have a feeling former Wigan boss Paul Jewell would love the chance to manage at such a big side. He has also been out of football since the end of last season after he miraculously kept up his Wigan side when they beat Warnock's United side 2-1 in the decider. So may it come down to another battle between Jewell and Warnock?
