They did their best, but it just wasn't good enough. I wonder if Dowie will hang about...

i hope hes does, i think he would get them back up and the team seem to have good links with inter milan.

i wonder about AJ though, does this mean he will be off, and its a case of how would they replace him?

AJ will definately go, thats kind of obvious unless he was extremely commited to the club but with the lure of top flight football will mean him moving club, somewhere like Newcastle, Man City or Everton i think.

Replacing him would be extremly difficult, and it woudl take time for Palace to rebuild the squad.

the 3 teams you said, i think all very likely

i think newcaslte are the team who need him most, but with shearer being around for this season could those 2 play together?

i aint sure man city can splash out on him, i think other players might be a priorty as keegan had them in a sorry state

am unsure about everton, i dunno who there number 1 targers are

Palace won't come back up, they have had their go in the Prem and that's it. They lack quality which is why they went down in the first place, I liked Dowie but his constant comments in the papers have left me annoyed and I was glad they went down.

yer, they do have a few good players and a really good work ethic

i think the lack of a decent squad size has hurt them though,

has dowie been in the papers complaining?

He always does!

Dowie has always been a whinger.. If Johnson does stay and with some of the other players they have, i think they have a good shot at comming up again..

Hope they don't though.

Tottenham are putting together a deal for Aj and the other fella, it all depends if they get that 10 mil from Chelski..

They have the money anyway, Spurs are going to have a good season.
