Sage in or out

Free buffet apparently

Now you tell me!

I don't believe that has anything to do with it football is fairly universal and plenty of people who can if needed describe things.

It's more like Sage doesn't understand the Prem and we have seen already he has no interest in looking at individual players strengths using that.

Team harmony is very important used to see that with OG it's not something I see now most of the training is the other guy shouting all the time.

When things are not working you start with basics defending this guy doesn't even appear to understand that I do think it's his lack of experience when you think about it he has only in been charge over all his clubs are senior level for around 100 matches with the rest of his experiences being amateur level even his playing career was only amateur (Had this been in England I believe he would have better understanding but it wasn't)

The guy may come good many years down the road but at this stage it was a bad appointment I said it at the time.

At least 2 senior players have openly supported him. Absolutely nothing wrong with team spirit.
For those who want him gone, be very afraid, don’t be surprised to to see Rob f***ing Edwards get the job

Crazy really given Olises obvious immense talent, even back then. The semi final against Chelsea was where he lost me though. The tactics that day were horrible werent they.

Back to Sage though, I hope he tweaks it a bit tomorrow. He wanted versatile players signed, its time to show some versatility himself i reckon. Obviously nothing him or anyone can do about the central defenders we have on the books until January, but if he can show he is capable of getting a few wins here and there until then perhaps he will win a few waverers over. Some of the attacking football has been top draw at times. It would be a shame to throw the baby out with the bath water just because of Richards and Canvot.

Scared rabbits in headlights come to mind.

It does at times I do read your post and it does . But also I can understand what you are saying . Its two sides of a opinion , its whether you agree or disagree . We all want the best but we as a club cant delivery. For xyz reasons . Wembley Sheffield utd the last 10 15mins I was getting supporters up chanting to get the club over the line . There's different ways to show passion ❤️🦅🦅🦅🦅

Yes, i agree, we all want the best for Palace, but its been hard to watch our league performances over the last 3 years, particularly at home, i am old school, respect the point, lets hope we progress whatever happens 👍

Me thinks that if SP ,gives him another five games to establish himself,the outcome will be the same: five defeats.
Time to admit a serious mistake was made,sack him immediately and move on.

Cant agree with that. He deserves more time. I wouldn't say a lot more but 5 games (all competitions) is probably what I would give him.

 

[est1905]

There is no point in sacking him, until a replacement is lined up, which I am sure is being sought now. The alternative of having the defence coach McCarthy in charge as temporary manager is a frightening thought.

I did not know Paddy's officail title was 'defencive coach'. If so its HIM that needs to be sacked!

Papers today are saying Sage is gone.

Papers (as so often the case) are wrong

I'd say we're recruiting personally. I don't think they're necessarily wrong.

If they could cope with Ian Holloway though...

I do find the story about Sage having the Spurs game and result to save his job a little preposterous.
What happens if we draw and then lose the next two?
It would seem likely that the club have already made a decision and the delay is getting their appointment of choice.
I’d like him to win the next three and stay, but I just can’t see it.

Which papers out of interest? I'm not one of these sneering snobs. Even the lowest level tabloids sometimes get good info.

I agree

If we are actively recruiting it will be Rob Edwards. He has just announced he is not interested in the Burnley job now

He kept swapping places with Sage in the technical area on Sunday every time we had a set piece to defend.

I do not recognise this scenario.

Parish has said in the past (when discussing a manager on a bad run) that he would never cast down any kind of ultimatum. All that does is add more unnecessary pressure.
He hasn't been told he needs to beat Spuds. He knows that anyway and even if he wins the club might sack him.

"Maybe I have to adapt to this league"

The best thing young Pierre has said in a while so let's hope he's seeing what we all know and will adjust his style to get us back winning.

I'm still fully behind him, I'd hate to see him fired so let's see.

Was in the ipaper, football 365 and others. Basically, dismissing Sage and discussing replacements. Seem to has largely been replaced with has the Spurs game story.
