Well he certainly broke all records for sucking through his teeth in tonights post match interview.

Thats if the only criteria is an out of work Englishman, with both PL and Championship experience.

No guarantees but I would suggest that trying to find a manager to win more than two games out of seventeen, might not be the impossible task that some are suggesting.

Is that the Roy who has Palace 8 points ahead of us and has won 4 more games than us?

Lets hope so with City, Spurs and Liverpool in the next 5 games

Blimey...I've seen some exuberant marks in my time but this takes the biscuit. You are supposed to judge players over 90 mins. Burn gets a 5, which indicates a slightly below par performance ( BDB now tops the list for the worst 45 minute performance in living memory ) You have given 11 (...

Look...he will not be sacked. If we get relegated, he will be given two seasons to get us back. So we can all whinge and whine as much as we like but its gonna be a long, lingering death. For me, its a case of ...fck it...what will be will be. He will control the destiny of this club for good or...

Point gained ultimately. Just a shame that no one in the management team knew anything about Traore.

You make your own luck. If you defend poorly then you pay the price. We are a shambles at the back.

I am sure they seized on the 100/30 against us being relegated, currently on offer, compared to Burnley at 5/2 and Newcastle at 4/1. If I was making those odds, I'm afraid I would have us a lot shorter than that.

None...especially as a lot of the battle-hardened experience, at that level, that got us up last time, is no longer here.

Just finished the story of the Romanov dynasty and moving on to the life story of Sonny Liston ( for the younger ones...ex heavyweight champion of the world )

Plus I don't find our style of football particularly edifying. Its slow, possession based football, mostly played in front of the opposition, who have plenty of time to regroup. We lack the accuracy in our play to refine our style. Its like a very second rate Man City ( arguably third rate ) I...

So...its not a results driven business then? Surely, to continue to progress you need to stay in the highest possible division. Once cracks start appearing, you lose your best players and go backwards, quickly.

How much do you want then? £20m won't be enough. It buys you a one in four/five striker at Pl level. We can't afford any more than that. The bigger clubs splash £50 - £60m on strikers and get the return. Its not the answer. If you haven't got creativity and good delivery into the box, then no...

TB thought Sammy Lee was coming in as well. His late decision to pull out exposed and weakened Hyppia's position. He also thought that Hyppia would use extensive contacts to bring in Liverpool and German players. That didn't really happen either.

I thought football was a results driven business. We are going exactly the same way as Swansea, who tried to build on a philosophy of attractive football. A succession of managers were encouraged to play the same way...Rodgers...Martinez etc. It lasted 6-7 years but clubs like Swansea and...

What...at £150k per week?

Our squad is good enough to survive. Our management team are not good enough to keep us up. £20m won't get you a good enough striker to keep us up and we can't afford more. If you want a player to score 1 : 2 or 3 you have to fork out at least £45m. Ain't gonna happen.
