I have to admit that you called this correctly from the first investment from Harris and Blitzer. Our fortunes immediately went into decline.

Wasn't it the week they invested that the long run without a win started under Pardew?
I think under Hodgson you'll survive easily, as you do have a talented squad. The question is, who will be the next 'long term' manager to step up at Palace?

Indeed, I can't help feeling that they have been tinkering throughout.
Pretty sure that all proven prospects that could do a long term job will now avoid us like the plague.
Our best option will be to give a brilliant young manager his first crack at the Premier League.

I heard the Dougie Freedman was available....

We should choose someone with English as their first language.
Paul Ince will be applying as we speak.
Tinkering in what way? Player purchases, ok, but I can't imagine your managers letting them have anything to do with choosing the team.
You'll offer too much money for them to turn you down.

Applying pressure behind the scenes to anything money related.
Didn't work for Parish with Big Sam yesterday.
I guess without knowing the details it's difficult to imagine how that would affect the playing side of things.
Sure, but Sam only just left the job so you wouldn't expect him to go back. How about Roy, he's quite capable isn't he?

Love the picture of hapless Woy. Magoo minus the glasses.

A mate of mine who has the misfortune of having a palace season ticket describes the Ultra's as ' the football fan version of The Office.. '
The Guardian chaps alluded to what De Boer was promised for the transfer market and what he received were 2 very different sums of money.
So not only did he get the promised kitty, he got another sum of money too. Lucky man.
Doesn't sounds as bad as was shown on that QPR documentary, where the idiot owners were telling the managers (inc Dowie) how to set the team up.
Now now you know exactly what I mean, good effort though.

The story on the BBC seems to imply they told De Boer which formation to play and he went against them. Seems a bit weird the board dictating formations to a manager, and effectively the team.
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.

Hoddle is a crap pundit but a fantastic football analyst. You listen to him- he identifies problems early and always has a great solution. Shame he's such a flawed human being.

Hodgson practically confirmed after interview through car window on SSN.
Forgot how dull his voice is.

RDB's the winner.
He escaped in quick time from the rusting wreck facilities, their rigid thinking long-ball players and he got paid up many years salary all at once.
He can coach at a proper European club next, who would be honourable on transfer budgets and play the beautiful game on the deck. Whilst counting his blessings.
