Sage SACKED, according to reports

[bright&wright]

Now get rid of that clown Hobbs. 90% his fault we're in this mess with his shite signings.

 

[VinceHilaire]

Interesting choice of words.

From what they have written, perhaps ‘we’ can assume Paddy is staying and taking over until a new manager arrives?

 

[TheBigToePunt]

Interesting choice of words.

Perhaps they have been careful not to actually sack him, so that he couldn't just take a pay-off and walk into the Lens job as a free-agent the next day?

Perhaps they told him they were going to sack him, then gave him a chance to talk to Lens, and so on?

Guess so -!the club thanked Sage and his staff but Paddy isn't one of his. Mind you at the moment it's like piloting a paper plane.

 

[palace99]

Sage has ‘left’ the club???

Sacked or resigned - there is a huge financial difference

not really.

It will be agreed wording but the effect and financial impact is the same - we have terminated his employment.

I'm expecting an announcement re Thomas the Frank Engine before the non-international players are back for training tomorrow.

Official now

Bless him, but I hope he and his staff were not left to organise their travel back to France. One of them will end up in Holland, another will turn up in Belgium, one in Romford, whilst one will be having a nap in the mistaken belief they are not moving until this evening.

Hope the Fat Controller in Nottingham doesn't get involved.

One day we'll look at back and laugh about this whole affair.
Won't we?
Maybe not.

Not

 

[StandbyPalace]

Sympathies go to anyone who had a bet on Sage being the first PL manager to be sacked this season. Close, but no cigar.

 

[PatrickA]

If Paddy goes too I'm going to apply for a role as Frank's assistant to take Paddy's job of berating the 4th official .

We can't let Willo take the job as he will misunderstand the role and spend the whole match congratulating the 4th official on what a splendid job the referee is doing.

An AFFAIR who with who?

All very civilised

Bantz is welcome on such sites !

Hobbs and the bird at the job centre.

 

[StandbyPalace]

IF PG wants his photo taken with the three trophies before he departs, the club are offering the chance for tomorrow. But it is Friday 13th so perhaps he will want to stay away? 😱

"Palace added: "The club thanks Pierre and his staff for their efforts during their time in South London, and wish them well for the future."

They must have spent hours copy/pasting that line from every manager sacking in the last 20 years.

Thanks Pierre, you seemed like a decent chap, but its a results business. Even if you were given a dysfunctional situation to manage. Frank in before the weekend...?

 

[Paul Salvage]

I’ve tried to see what Sky Sports News are saying about this. Apparently Man United have sacked Carrick. Nothing about Palace though.

I recon that’s why we delayed the announcement. Waited for Carrick to get the sack and then slip it under the radar, or done a 2 for 1 deal on press announcements.🤣

 

[Eaglecoops]

The bastion of truthfulness, the BBC, just gave us 5 seconds of coverage with the words, “Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage”.

Nice of them to show some interest.

Or we were letting Man United think Sage would be available.
