why on earth would he go there and lose reputation. Ranieri is going to hold out for a top 4-5 team, go abroad, or retire on his laurels.

From his statement it would appear that this is the end of Big Sam as a manager I wonder what January will bring with a lucrative offer by a struggling club.

I just love the disruption this will cause the club, for example who now will name the retained list with at least 6 of their 25 out of contract in June and another 6 entering their final year. So who is to decide who stays or who goes.Not ideal for the new season and players wanting to know where they stand.

Please please please Steve Van Klaren.
More than likely it'll be Mancini or Coleman though. Which is annoying

Rumour has it he was less than impressed with the all you can eat buffet in the players caravan lounge after the game
What an absolute **** Allardyce is.
If he'd decided to turn it all in after the England debacle, Palace would be facing up to a season back in the Championship right now. But, no, like the utter ******* he is, he had one last swansong saving yet another desperately poor club from relegation. FFS.

Allardyce had made decisions on this sort of thing already, thankfully, although it's possible that a new manager might overrule him.

I bet he's Glad all Over he got out with his reputation intact and decided not to risk it for another season with Palace.

Has the retained list already been announced then?

He'd never say this, but I suspect this is about money. We know from the England fiasco that Allardyce likes a pound note - greedy is probably the word.
He was widely reported to have got a £2million bonus for keeping Palace up, plus the wages - maybe another £1m, so £3m for five months' work. Add that to the £1m pay-off he got from England, and the £2m last season for keeping Sunderland up, that is £6million plus Sunderland wages in a year and he is set up.
Because some of the stuff in the statement yesterday just didn't ring true, if he felt that then he would have felt it five months ago.
While clearly I'm not that upset, do feel Palace and Parish have been a bit shafted on this one.

Coleman isn't all that, IMO. His club record is patchy at best, and his Welsh miracle is based squarely on the skills and appetite of Gareth Bale.

Coleman would be brilliant, I dont rate him at all at club level
Chris Coleman who received an OBE for "Gareth Bale being good at football". Massively overrated, I agree.

Can't agree with the whole 'Coleman is useless' narrative.
Even if you forget the rest of the Wales team (which would be ridiculous), give him some credit for the man management of Bale. You have a world superstar, yet he is one of the lads in that dressing room, some of that and getting the best out of him for his country has to be down to Coleman. Plus he's a good bloke and harder to hate- give me McClaren at Palace any day!
I'd agree Coleman still has something to prove at club level, but who says he won't do that, still a young bloke. Mancini is the one that I really wouldn't want there, though.

But, he managed to lose to England with Gareth Bale. Can't say too much about his managerial qualities.
AVB of international football.....
The Welsh team is not that bad, the first 11 is pretty decent, and given 3 sides could get through to the finals it was a par achievement.
Lets not forget, it took a Bale wonder goal not to sink qualification in the first game in Andorra.
Alongside Bale they have:
Davies, Ramsey, Williams, Collins, Taylor, Allan, Leadley etc - these are not bad players at all....
