Bit odd that he has gone. There is no one who could turn around this start to the season. Palace's best hope was to be relegated but try to build a better team to try to bounce back with the bolster of the parachute payments. Holloway might have been able to do that. Still who cares !:lolol:

Eleven Palace related threads just on page 1, ELEVEN ! Get over them FFS !

I would agree and said as much in another thread
I really don't like the guy and never have
but he is a great motivator
so maybe we could employ him for a few months to do just that
any takers?

Credit to the CP board for acting relatively quickly on this. There's LOADS of time to pull this back. But I maintain that the best course of action would have been to sack Holloway the very morning after Wembley. But they look doomed. And Gayle seems to be overrated by their fans, IMO

His transfer dealings this summer have done for him. Signing 2 players that didn't then get into the 25 man squad reeks of panic buying and no logical plan.

True, but then I've no doubt that blow-dried ponce would've been sticking his oar in big time too. The reality is that they were only ever gonna end up with the flotsam that established(ish) Premeirshite teams wanted rid of: & at silly money. Nobody in their right mind would see that mob as a genuine contender to stay up, so they got mugged-off. Oh well...

Holloway only went with a £2m pay off, sorry to keep saying this but found it laughable and how much will it cost for a new manager :lol:

It's no surprise that this is a common denominator for both Premier League managerial casualties so far this season..

Very different though. PDC had little or no input in the Sunderland purchases, that was a big part of the problem. Holloway had complete control, that was a big part of the problem
 




Resigned I've heard, refused to put up with being abused by the HF and having slit throat gestures aimed at him.

Don't blame him really.

Another £2m of the windfall spunked away. Good stuff.

**awaits se20, coming on to tell us that the payout is mis-reported, and is actually 36 pence**

They started off by signing highly rated Championship players which in my view is the way to go and the key to Norwich's success during their first season, however, upon realising they couldnt afford the best Championship players they seem to have panicked and gone a bit gung ho and ended up actually buying a load of dross including Chamakh.

Re: Holloway SACKED. [Merged threads]

Don't blame him really.

They broke into his press conference last season to give him abuse as well.

The new man is in for a tough time.

Lee Clarke will be out of a job soon

He must be absolutely sick to death of desperately attempting to polish the Brumscum turd by now. I certainly can't see him trading one sty for another tbh, although I presume the odd lot up the road would throw a decent bit of coin his way.

The only drawback for Palace is that Holloway will have more time to stand and smoke outside the Croydon school gates.

They broke into Selhurst last season too and set up kiosks selling their merchandise. CPFC2010 have to ask them who they sell tickets to in that corner, they demanded, and got, a block for themselves at Wembley and now have got rid a manager.

I wonder who the HF will appoint as the new manager.

Personal abuse of him and his family apparently. What a nice bunch they are up there! As I said on another thread - none of them under 40 have ever known football outside the top two leagues therefore they don't have a backbone - the slightest perceived humiliation and they go into meltdown , turn on each other the club the manager etc.

However, if they can find the right man to keep them up it's the right move. Paul & Tom Ince to Palace - Holloway to Blackpool ?

SP says Ian is someone he would consult when it comes to appointing a new manager
