Palace sack de Boer...

[Norder]

.

....they need a fall-guy ? - four games gone with no goals and no points, though I think they could have held out for their next game at home against Southhampton, are likely to get something there. Perhaps there's more going on than we know, he's not happy, board, players not happy etc.
Against us....we put up the big wall and it held - we've used it against the best - an awful, trying experience that works for us....because there's little else that does.

Frank or Ron ?

Like I said on another thread Parish has not got a clue about Football, he's a jumped up idiot.

they deserve Roy

This was an appointment for the long term and to agreed criteria by Parish and the American owners. Sounds like there was some disagreement between them as this was at his unveiling

At De Boer’s unveiling at Selhurst Park there was much discussion about his style: shrunken trousers and no socks, apparently. He, however, seemed keener to concentrate on on-field concerns. “Ajax is famous for total football,” said De Boer. “So it’s in our DNA to try and play tactical and technical football, to try to dominate. If you do that well it’s a plus because it’s attractive and it looks nice.”

Here, the new boss did not seem to be entirely in harmony with his new boss, Steve Parish. “Our fans, I don’t think they are particularly fussed about the style of football we play,” the chairman said. Parish went on, slightly harshly: “Our fans aren’t too discerning."

Will Woy deliver I wonder?

The panic must be that they have Southampton at home then the two Manchesters away and Chelsea home so theres a real prospect of no points in mid October.

the fans must love parrish for that glowing reference he just gave them

BBC story
DeBoer says they were looking to replace him two weeks ago

Among the reasons for Palace's dissatisfaction were:

De Boer's apparent diversion from a number of agreements reached when he signed, such as the team's formation.
The squad's struggles to adapt to the style of play he tried to implement.
Poor feedback on planning, methods and sessions.
Atmosphere at the training ground.
His use of, and relationship with certain players, such as Damien Delaney, Martin Kelly, Joel Ward, Jairo Riedewald and Lee Chung-yong.
A perceived lack of input on transfer activity.

De Boer is understood to have been unhappy with factors including:
The pre-season schedule organised before his arrival.
The involvement of Parish in first-team matters.
The delay in signing defender Mamadou Sakho.

So a Palace manager has to sign a contract which stipulates the way the team lines up, and the Chairman gets involved in running/picking the team.

I love it, music to my ears. This is a basket case of a club, they can only go one way. One less for us to worry about.

Even better palace fans planning a boycott of Southampton game because of deBoers sacking
