Sage SACKED, according to reports

Just to clarify, he hasn't been "officially" fired yet, correct?

I'm sure they are still working through the final negotiations of what he walks away with and who the replacement will be. I just expected to hear it today.

I assume, that if it doesn't come tomorrow, then I expect we'll hear it on Thursday as I can't picture them doing it on Wednesday.

We don't know that. Firing someone and making a statement to the media are two separate things.

Maybe the Sun is correct he had been fired but Parish just hasn't told us. It's also possible that he has been fired but his lawyers are negotiating his pay off so Parish wont speak until that is a done deal.

Or he hadn't been fired. 😀

Why not Wednesday? (tomorrow) Oh, Remembrance Day? Not sure how that would be disrespectful but there you go.

In general terms, clubs can delay an announcement to the multitudes due to a plethora of reasons including legal,financial, logistical etc etc.

It he’s been fired Sage will almost certainly need to sign a settlement agreement of some sort. Shouldn’t be complicated but his lawyers will need to give it the once over which would take a few hours so not surprising if he was told last night that there wouldn’t be an official announcement.
 
The reasons for the delay in an announcement are understandable as others have highlighted above.

What is less clear is that a number of other candidates are being linked with the job this morning giving the appearance that a replacement has not yet been lined up.
Now this could be journalists flying kites or agents pushing their clients' interests.

Nonetheless, I hope there is virtually no gap between the announcement of the departure of Sage and the arrival of the new manager.
Surely we all agree that we don't want to see an announcement on the eve of the Coventry game?

Probably is just pure speculation. Hellberg at Middlesbrough was mentioned as well.

We might not be attractive proposition given that we have sold our best players, there are question marks in relation to our acquisitions and the fact that we are bottom of the table !

I thought we had a 10am Presser with Mr P.

This may be true, but could then indicate we would have sacked Sage without having a definite replacement lined up, which to me makes little sense - in particular if the club had severe reservations about Sage since September.
It would mean more drift and uncertainty.

If there isn't a set compensation amount in his contract e.g. 1 year's salary paid as a lump sum, i'd be amazed. This is pretty basic when you hire a manager these days as you are pretty sure they will be sacked at some point. With Sage, it was always a bit of a gamble so the compensation element was even more important.

With no training yesterday as the game was only on Sunday i suspect they need to get all their comms lined up - players, staff etc.

I am not 'Au Fait' with the contractual arrangements in relation to Pierre Sage, however some contracts include mitigation clauses rather than fixed settlements.
 
Sage is back in France.

I expect his sacking to be announced today, but it may depend on whether Palace are in a position to also reveal the name of his successor.

A positive 'Spin', however success in the Europa League/Carabao cup are forlorn hopes and at this juncture a "Couple of wins" seem "Long shots" !

Long Shot Kick the Bucket.
A job's a job and there will be a few who'd jump at the opportunity. Whether any of them are any good is the problem.
