Sage is sage

We could do a lot worse than Bobby Edwards as he ticks so many boxes

Palace through and through and a well respected and cherished ex-player and occasional captain of CPFC ✅

Knows the Premier League well ✅

Holds the highest level of UEFA coaching accreditation ✅

Took Luton from league one to the Premier League on the tightest of shoestring budgets ✅

Even more impressively almost kept them in the league and would have done so had they not thrown away a 2-0 HT advantage which kept Forest up ✅

Young emerging English manager with more pedigree than most ✅

Uses the modern 4 1 3 1 1 formation favoured by most of the successful managers today ✅

Always has his players playing out of their skin for him, a-la Pep Guardiola ✅

Relatively modest wage ✅

Always able to attract the best British players within budget. Somehow managed to attract Kieran Trippier and Rao Jimenez to play in the championship this season before being sacked with Tripp almost ripping his new contract up after Robbie Edwards sacking stating he joined Wolves due to the Robbie Edwards pull and desire to play for him despite several Premier League offers ✅

Arguably, the most handsome football manager there has ever been or likely to be and will undoubtably attract a few more hundred female fans whilst he is in office for them to admire his looks every other Saturday especially when his post football modelling career pictures emerge ✅



I urge someone to give me another manager that can match half of those 10/10's above who is realistically on our radar.

Although I do agree with several others about another manager with similar pedigree being number one on most people's wish list and that is Scott Parker. He would take us to the next level, as I'm sure Edwards could given the chance

Let's stop this new modern premier league mantra of hiring unknown European managers who have less than 100 games under their coaching career. Especially like the one we currently have who was sacked after his first season in management for producing the clubs worst season in 25 years.

AA at Fulham also falls into that category and has almost 50% of the club season ticket holders calling for his sacking already.

Would love to see the Sky Sports news banner saying Robbie Edwards appointed the new Crystal Palace manager but we can dream, for now.

The kind of manager who would fit into the Alec Ferguson or Arsen Venga frame by potentially managing us for the next 20 years.
Parker has been relegated from the PL twice, with Fulham and Burnley.
He might be useful should we get relegated as he has 3 promotions from the Championship on his CV.
 
Showed astonishing lack of loyalty to Middlesborough who gave him a big opportunity. Crashed and burned and would have taken Luton into League 1 if their owner hadn't pulled the trigger. Was a disaster at Wolves.
For character alone I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Another Phil Brown. Loves himself
And to Forest Green Rovers before that. Left for Watford a week after getting FGR promoted to League 1 and was then sacked by Watford after a dismal run. He’s a great League 2 manager.

Pierre Sage will be our most successful manager a couple of seasons from now. COYP!
 
Lose today and things are not looking too good for Pierre.

Are you really giving this biased reporting from the Leeds Press credence? I'm not saying Sage might not be under pressure if we lose but I certainly wouldn't take it from that outlet.
 
Sage is our manager and will remain so even if we loose to Leeds.
All the pissing and whining from the bedwetters needs to stop touts suite.
I'm tired of reading the shite coming from the press and some of our so called fans that he's a goner after five fuckin games.
Get behind the bloke and show some support for f*** sake!
 
I’m getting concerned about his selections - we are leaking goals and he keeps chopping and changing the back 3.

Canvot bombed from the squad now he’s back in the starting XI and Ahanar bombed from the squad.

We need consistency.

With you syd. After our cups I don’t really care. I’m a palace fan wherever we play

I genuinely don't get why sage would be under any pressure. We've lost against the league leaders, our bogey team and a game where we had ten men and still should have won.

Three clean sheets from four now in all competitions. 1 defeat from 5 in all competitions. Players coming back from injury. Things are nowhere near as bad as is being made out.

Looking good for Sage now, we were the better team. All these calls for him to be replaced are ridiculous, he has had many changes to deal with and building his team, it doesn't happen from day one.

He's only under pressure from the more idiotic and mischievous elements of the press and some of the less intellectually equipped members of our fan base. Tactically, he got it spot on today.

I like his use of the squad. Not afraid to drop players and bring them back in

I get what you're saying about a consistent back 5 but Sage, currently, seems to be doing a good job of using the whole squad (well apart from Guessand who probably regrets joining).
