What the hell is happening at our club ?

If, as Ed Aarons is reporting, Lens are in talks with Sage about returning then the situation isn't a straightforward "sack him and move on" for us. We have skin in the game so to speak and will want to have our say as to the terms under which Sage and his team leave to return to Lens.

My understanding is that the players not going on international duty have been given 3 or 4 days off so won't be anywhere near the training ground until today or tomorrow at the earliest.

Time to chill and wait developments without getting ones knickers in a twist.

Such matters can be protracted due to the fact that a plethora of factors enter the equation and negotiations can be of labyrinthine complexity.
Clubs make announcements when it is appropriate to do so and they are under no obligation to provide a 'Running commentary' on events as they unfold.

Media getting inside information about the inner workings of the club :
Staff leaving in numbers
Pissed off players
Delays to Development
Manager in or Out

The media are circulating whatever they want because action is not happening

The issue about recruitment started to fail as soon as Dougie left

Then Glasner knew s*** all investment was going to be made so jacked it in

Inner club staff likely also feeling financial pinch so they started having high turnover

Sage realizing Prem is hard yakka when you don’t have experience & x2 key players sold but not replaced

Are we suffering a culture crisis
I keep frigging getting the weekly survey but upon submission it must being going to the infamous “ do not read email box”
As my points grade I submit & comment to add are always same

Why bother sending a survey out who reads it & why

Journos create and cause mischief and need willing victims to soak it all up. Lots of folk getting in on the drama who like to stir the pot. Does it help? No not really.

So please don't ruin it with daft posts like yours! It is simply business as usual, it seems some fans want to cause chaos and then blame the club for the noise!

I'll tell you whats happening at a club, its called Peak Palace, its never been this good before:
A well run club on a solid financial standing​
2 major trophy wins (I dont count Community Shield)​
13 successive years in the PM​
A new main stand on the horizon too (maybe)😉​

Results (not all performances) have been poor under our new manager and he’s been given sufficient time for the to conclude that a change is needed.

The club are in the process of trying to find the best replacement possible.

That’s it.

I think after 14 years of the best times we’ve ever had - SP should have enough credit in the bank to be trusted on this one.
 
Carrick sacked before Sage, they've gone out, agreed a payoff and deal with Poch before we can even announce Sage is gone. Parish is incompetent, its getting worse and worse.

100%

Sh!t happens. Has happened to us a lot. Yet still we've gone from Championship liquidation dodgers to European Champions in that time. Thas a decent track record, is it not?

I think one of the big reasons for our success and stability in the top flight (those two terms being one and the same thing, mostly) has been the absence of drama and media fuss. That is partly because making trouble for Palace just isn't as financially rewarding as stirring the pot with the bigger clubs, and partly because everyone at Palace, from the board, to the staff, to players, manager and even, yes, the supporters, tend to keep things in-house and retain a sense of perspective. That is always the best approach when the spotlight finds its way onto us. Say little, give little away, it will move on soon enough.

Never more true than when a few things haven't worked out as well as hoped for, like now.

That doesn't mean none of us can have opinions or express our views, but it is why I draw the line at things like a pre-game 'protest', the sillier HF banners, or those blokes holding up some daft sign outside the training ground a couple of years ago. It rarely helps, and it mostly just self-important attention seeking dressed up as righteousness.
 
@Starchtects there are plenty of other clubs to support if you are that embarassed. You clearly deserve better than what this club can offer you, and supporting Palace it isnt a prison sentence, you are free to go. Charlton is probably closer for you too. ATB

This is a circumstance where the club has time to make the deal with Lens to curb financial costs of Sage leaving and it doesn't really change what else is going on because of the international break.

As a fan, it absolutely is frustrating. Bring in the new manager and lets get going.

But as far as the business of running a club goes, it makes a lot of sense to save a couple of dollars so that it can be invested in something else.

Stop wetting yourself. Manure's was a simple 'man out man in'. We have the more complex matter that Sage's old club want him back and he's now interested to return there, if reports are to be believed. That has significant financial implications which can benefit us if handled carefully, so some difficult tripartite negotiations are having to take place.
