Revealed: Crystal Palace’s stance over sacking Patrick Vieira following 12-match winless run

Crystal Palace extended their winless run to 12 matches last night as they were beaten by Brighton.

The Eagles lost 1-0 to their bitter rivals as the pressure on Patrick Vieira starts to mount.

Optimism was high in South London heading into the season with the Frenchman and his young squad showing much promise towards the end of the last campaign.

However, it has been a thoroughly underwhelming season and Palace have been drawn into a relegation battle.

Patrick Vieira is in real danger of being sacked by Crystal Palace, according to the Guardian.

The Palace board have been left unimpressed by recent performances and results and have started to look for replacements.

Vincent Kompany and Michael Carrick are two potential targets for the south London club.
