Sage SACKED, according to reports

[Forest Hillbilly]

Saw the foundations to the new stand being infilled today. Canvas bag dropped into the pit, before the concrete infilling. Just saying 🙂

Not for a while. Probably until we bring him back in a few season's time.

There’s more chance of Sir Steve of Coppell coming back🤣

 

[DenTyler]

This is beginning to make sense now. But if we want say Frank we need to crack on. Jeeez

of course we are. We are always in Poundland. 14 years.... 14 f***ing years and we still run things like a f***ing boot sale

You’ve been watching too much Mobland🤣

Really? He’s failed!! every man and his dog can see how wide open and disjointed we’ve been. Now I know he’s not had a great squad to work with after selling our Crown Jewels and it’s not all his fault, but his reputation is hardly intact, I doubt we’ll see him in the premier league again that’s for sure

Sage didn't really have any rep he has been in this line of work for 5min and been fired before out of 3 of his jobs twice he would have been fired. (If Palace get rid of him that is)

You either want the man gone or no it's not difficult why we mess around all the time is shocking at this club and it's not just in one area its every thing to do with the club which just shows it has got to be down to SP.

I hope SP paid out his own pocket all those legal etc fees for the UEFA mess up that was a fairly large bill.

We had to bury a chicken's foot and a dead rabbit as an offering to negate the Gypsy's curse.

Maybe we should wait until a striker has scored 10 goals before paying him.

Each of JSL goals for us have cost £656,250 each.

 

[Painter]

Understand that, but it's reported that he doesn't want to join Lens, in which case there's no saving.
Of course he could join another club which may save us some money, but it's also reported that he wants to take a break.
I'm afraid Parish may have to cough up if the reports are accurate.

As soon as he is paid off by Palace, he will be off to Lens to take off where he left off. Unless Parish inserts a termination clause, stating he cant return there until next summer. Similar to McKenna's deal from Ipswich.
This could be the delay in announcing his departure.

There could be some validity in this, but nobody can force Sage to take a job, anymore than Ipswich can force McKenna to take a job.
The ball appears to be in Sage's court.
If he (and his staff) return to Lens then great for us, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't get your point. Why should we care whether or not he gets his previous job back?

I don't think it's particularly about him going back there. More about not giving him a full payout only to get a new job the following day.

Here's an old Cortina Mk 4, some (Halfords)spanners and a bag of nuts and bolts. Build me an F1 car by Monday, or you're gone.

And your driver is Mark Thatcher 🙂

Confucius says usual Palace incompetence and inability to make any decisions will mean no Manager will be appointed until after the International Break concludes.

Does Confucius say Sage will manage us v Coventry?

 

[PatFromSouthCarolina]

Hmmm. 🤔 I wonder if all this clickbait about him being sacked is just that. Did he take training today or have the lads been given a couple of days off? Hopefully the delay in announcing it is because they’re getting Frank to agree his deal to take over first. …. Although if Hobbs is involved that level of forward thinking would be unlikely.

I don’t think so. They would have leaked a vote of confidence through back channels to quell the talk of that was the case. I think the realistic thing is that they wanna wait on Lens to see if they can get out of paying his buyout.

I think you're being rather generous there. £48m divided by 8 or 9 is a lot more than that plus wages on top!!

 

[TheBigToePunt]

Aarons of the guardian suggests there is some significance to whether Lens and Sage want to get the band back together...

Crystal Palace could avoid significant compensation if Pierre Sage rejoins Lens

Crystal Palace could avoid having to pay Pierre Sage significant compensation if he is reappointed by his former club Lens

It's essentially about having one's cake and eating it. Sage may get a nice termination pay-off from Palace then walk straight into the Lens job on a nice little earner. If we put a clause in the termination notice that he can't get a new job till the Summer then if Lens wants him and he wants to go they'll both need to do a deal with Parish to reduce Sage's pay-off etc.
