...and all the fantastic players that Dougie had acquired ?

The story I heard in full was, Dougie had a word with Glasner about how predictable his tactics were, saying a plan B might be necessary. Glasner went to Parish and said he doesn't work with anyone on footballing matters. Parish tried to keep Dougie and Glasner apart but it wasn't really viable and he left as quickly as he could.
What bothers me about it was Glasner was leaving anyway and I would have frankly thought Freedman was useful for the future. Glasner only short term, unfortunately.
But it is what it is. Just what I heard, no inside knowledge as such. Sounds believable.

Things change very quickly in football as we all know. Parish should be doing everything in his power to get Dougie back and get rid of the present incumbent who is frankly useless.
 
Matt Hobbs is proving to be the invisible man,whereas we were all very much aware of the amazing Dougie.
Time to comeback home Dougie,we miss your excellent judgement.

It’s still hard to believe us, Crystal Palace parted with so much money in January, especially for two average at best players. So I think you’re right, Wharton may have to go, but even then I doubt we’ll be spending £85 million again, we’ll be back down to our usual of looking for bargains at around the £13 million mark

One hopes that this was mentioned to Sage at his interview ! 😛

How the tide has turned bitching and moaning about what Freedman was doing , to Please come back we love you honest and never say a bad word about you again mmmmm

Whoever was moaning was a fool.What Dougie did was bettered only by Arnie Warren discovering Kenny Sansom, Billy Gilbert, Terry Fenwick, Vince Hilaire, Jerry Murphy and Peter Nicholas in a matter of weeks. Now that was proper scouting!

All come through our youth system , scouting back then was very localised ,

Yes they did. But Warren went out, saw each of them play and got them to sign for Palace instead of Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs.

Yes very much one man band , and more than likely the parents couldn't get them to the others training ground , thats the way it was then , school county teams was always watched by one scout or another ,
