[Palace] Donkeys Out of Contract

Swansman said:

Good for them, would be a lot worse if some of that unsellable junk had 2-3 years left on their contract. If Roy leaves after the season a new manager got a real chance to do something new... which could go either way but is probably more likely to fail.

It's a good job they've already said any new manager will have limited funds to play with.

I was having a bit of banter with another poster on a private investing blog I’m on as he found out I’m a Brighton fan.

I mentioned about Zaha and their record without him, then pointed out about their squad age. He admitted that they have an old squad and said that a lot were out of contract this season.

So, as funds are going to be tighter in the current climate, they could struggle. I don’t know what their yoof set-up is like, but they appear to go for known players, but with limited success, as demonstrated by their results without Zaha. Yes, losing your better players has an impact, but not to the extent of Palace.

He also thinks that they’ll be after a new manager too. He thinks they could get stuffed on Man if Zaha is out too.

It’ll be interesting if they decide to go with another long term project now that the ultras are demanding they play some nice football.

As a club, they all lost their nerve with Franciscus "Frank" de Boer, the now Netherlands Manager, he was trying to introduce a style and vision that the majority of their fan base could just not understand. It reminded me of the Potter out campaign as they all lost their beans and concentrated on short term results rather than long term objectives. No patience at all.

Hopefully they get someone like Big Sam in.

It’s funny but as a palace fan I find it quite exciting, I have found it a bit boring the last few years having a team just about good enough to stay up. New manager and new players might help with the football mojo.

Do you think any of that lot will re sign? Seeing as it’s a international summer do you think you’ll be able to get a new coach in and basically a new squad of premier league quality players in one window bedded in and able to keep you up? I can see you doing a derby easily if things don’t drop absolutely perfectly

just looked at the palarse out of contract players list. And it is some list of high earners.
Even assuming that they offer some of these new contracts, with finances hit by covid, they have some rebuilding job on their hands.
Apologies if i have missed some who have been offered contracts.

Bit of a stretch to compare a manager getting sacked after 5 games to some fans wanting Potter out after only winning 1 home game in over a year and only 7 in 43 or whatever it was.
