My Palace mole says
My Palace mole says he may we'll be wrapped up in some WHU murkiness which is to hit a fan shortly. Sorry if this is old news, I can't be arsed to read the thread.
He'd never say this, but I suspect this is about money. We know from the England fiasco that Allardyce likes a pound note - greedy is probably the word.
He was widely reported to have got a £2million bonus for keeping Palace up, plus the wages - maybe another £1m, so £3m for five months' work. Add that to the £1m pay-off he got from England, and the £2m last season for keeping Sunderland up, that is £6million plus Sunderland wages in a year and he is set up.
Because some of the stuff in the statement yesterday just didn't ring true, if he felt that then he would have felt it five months ago.
While clearly I'm not that upset, do feel Palace and Parish have been a bit shafted on this one.
This is a job best suited for Nigel Pearson or David Moyes.

Well said, I think you've hit the nail on the head here and you're probably right about Palace and Parish having been shafted. Luckily for them, there are lots of very good managers around and (although it pains me to say it) Palace are an attractive proposition.
A question for you as a sports journalist with a far better knowledge of these things - do you think Palace would have been prepared to let Allardyce spend big in this transfer window given their huge spending in January and what kind of manager do you think they'll go for - one who will demand a big budget or one who would be happy to work pretty much with what they've got? I look at that Palace team and I think with just one or two additions, that it's easily good enough to be a top 12 side.
Excuse me whilst I now be sick.
Marco Silva now the front runner, according to well known sources.
Dyche is backup, I'm led to believe.

Whenever I hear him speak I think he sounds like the racist comedian you used to get as compere for strippers' nights at the Working Men's Club.
Don't feel we've been shafted at all.
Sam was brought in to keep us up on a two and a half year contract.
There was a clause in the contract that said there was a break after 6 months, for either party. The £2 mill bonus for Sam hasn't been paid, it's payable after a set period of time ( learned from the Pulis fiasco )
So as it stands, we've stayed up , earning a minimum of £120 mill next season, and its cost around £1 mill in wages.
Sounds a good deal to me.
Ha ha ha ha! Yes PLEASE give Sammy Lee the job. That would be even better than Pardew returning.Palace fans I know had a feeling that BFS wasn't going to start the new season. A few have said keep the back room staff and give Sammy Lee the job. I can't see that as he has limited management on his CV but a wealth of experience as both player and coach.
https://youtu.be/4juEa2qjYzIPlease let it be Dyche. I can't stand Dyche as it is, so him going to Palace would be perfect. Whenever I hear him speak I think he sounds like the racist comedian you used to get as compere for strippers' nights at the Working Men's Club.
