Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2013 Share Posted 23 October, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Dig Posted 23 October, 2013 Share Posted 23 October, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2013 Share Posted 23 October, 2013 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.

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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2013 Share Posted 23 October, 2013 Football teams that employ him are definitely aving a 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordswoodsaints Posted 23 October, 2013 Share Posted 23 October, 2013 I think he's on the same level as Adkins,a decent lower league manager but will never make anything of themselves in the top league,although Adkins is a bit more dignified holloway is comedy gold.
