Betting suspended on Holloway being sacked. Presser called for 5pm.

 

Any Saints fans sorry to see the back of him?

 

Seemed like an impossible task, keeping them up...

Indeed it was, Championship side who run out of puff after an hour. Blackpool all over again. Can't see them attracting much of a manager really.

Michael Appleton & Steve Cotterill dream team?

 

something of that ilk yes, unless some "vieille gloire" like O'Neill has had enough of the dole queue and will take any old job to get back into football. Must be a few of them hanging about.

Di Canio is now manager at Catane, don't know if they're in the Italian 1st or 2nd division. Ooops wrong Di Canio, Luigi.

Gone: Shows just how patient we were with Adkins last season. Palace have a ridiculously weak side though, depends on who decided it was good enough to attempt the PL with. .

 

Nothing to do with patience according to Cortese, he knew exactly when he was going to change manager and stuck with it.

The Palace squad was awfully managed this summer though. They signed a bloke from Bordeaux for a few bob and then just simply didn't include him in their 25 for the PL, don't think he even played for them and then they just paid him off. That sort of gig must have cost them a pretty penny, probably had to pay up a 2 year contract plus whatever they gave Bordeaux. Can't really see that the bloke was any worse than Kevin Phillips or that bloke Gayle and probably a damn sight cheaper.

Holloway will now end up in the Championship again as soon as a fairly decent job comes up. Maybe even the Boro job.

 

I think the birmingham job will be available soon

maybe even bolton

what a joke of a decision really

 

not if he resigned, not being manager of Palace can't not be a good thing.Perhaps he's disappointed by the level of investment.

I mean who'd really want to try to get results out of that pile of crap for another 30 PL games this season.

if he was sacked, then that is mental

 

All seems to point back to the summer transfer situation. Players coming in and not even making the 25 man squad and others who are benched or not included in the squad. Holloway referred to changes in the squad and lost team spirit because of it. Seems to indicate that players were forced on him and his refusal to play them won't have gone down well with the men upstairs.

 

Goes to show how important the clubs set up and infrastructure is like at every level.

Nothing like Vegard Forren's situation then.

At least we sold him for about half of what we paid, don't know how much of his contract we eventually had to subsidise though.

They just wrote this bloke off, lock stock and barrel.

It is funny. Don't like Holloway and don't particularly like Palace, despite always enjoying trips to Selhurst. They'll have a good race for the wooden spoon with Sunderland IMO

People were saying similar things about us last season regarding relegation, us and Villa I think, neither of us went down. Sunderland may well buck up a bit but even we had more points than they have last season, can't say the same for Palace. Could be that there is only one relegation place to be decided after only 8 games, Saints could well be safe by the end of November .:uhoh:

how many points did we have 8 games in last season and how many goals against?

we also had by far a superior squad and people expected to stick with the manager no matter what as we had the next fergie etc etc etc

 

 

edit. we had 4 points and let in 24 goals.

they had 3 points and have let in 17

He left Plymouth completely in the lurch when they were doping well after claiming that he was "home" and then went to Leicester. Karma again.

Might have had 4 points (win against Villa and a draw against Fulham ?) Fair few goals though, 15 or so perhaps, shedload in the against column, nigh on 30 i'd guess..

Don't particularly like the bloke, but a ridiculous decision, he's done great for them all told, they're unlikely to get anyone who will keep them up.

The last part is almost certainly true, but a significant reason for that is his absolute cluster**** of a transfer policy. Rather than shore up a defence that was crap in the Championship, he decided to spunk a load of money on wingers and strikers, and proceed to not pick most of them.

 

I'd seriously contest that he's "done great" for them - he got the better of Brighton and Watford in the playoffs, but they were only in the playoffs as a result of an 88th-minute winner against Peterborough. They were top after his first game in charge, and won only one of their last ten league games.

Hate that f*cking wurzel. Good riddance!

 

Wonder who they'll get in...like others have said, nobody who can keep them up.

 

It's not the manager who can't keep them up it's the rabble that play for them, they have not one superior player in any single department of the game.

Football teams that employ him are definitely aving a :lol:

 

Not really because he's got a couple of sides promoted to the PL these last years, he can get promotion but then he's out of his depth pretty quickly. Once again it's about being able to recognise a PL player when he sees one and then knowing what to do with him. I just can't repeat enough just how good you need to be to be even a bog average PL player simply because of the standard of the opposition.

This, wasnt it a 'mutual decision' which means that Holloway probably saw the writing on the wall and the board have ambition above what they could possibly achieve although Id say they did poor in the TW.

 

May even see Mowbray come this way and Holloway go to Boro

Not sure he was sacked by the sound of things. Seems the job got on top of him and Parish tried to persuade him to stay.

 

Would Warnock go back? I quite like him, well at least from what I have heard of him on talkSPORT.

QPR was a mistake for him, surely he is t stupid enough to take the palace job

 

He'll get back up with QPR this season and then probably call it a day, maybe one more season provided they aren't heading for the trap door again..
