I can't see that he has done much wrong TBH. Its not like when Pulis left you in the lurch at all - this has been timed to cause the least disruption possible.
If there was a bonus for keeping you up, then he should be paid it - he did just that.

It seems that he resigned after finding out that someone he knew died in the bombing (the wife of a mate). I'd imagine that I'd feel the same if I was close to retirement age and very wealthy. Presumably he can do a bit of media work should he want to.
Palace normally just throw money at that sort of issue and worry about it later.

Dyche has done an excellent job at Burnley, but there's absolutely no question that Palace are a more attractive proposition. We're a London club, our transfer budget is considerably higher and we're able to pay much higher wages both to potential targets and the manager himself.

What about Dougie, don't you owe him for putting in the ground work in your promotion season and paying him a pitance?

Coleman has told sky he's not interested.
Yes there is. From all manner of perspectives. Many would decline to leave the security of an established job for the risk of a new one. Then there's the club ownership models. The location - need to uproot your family, pace of life, cost of living, etc. Does he have kids? Does he want them growing up in South London?
To some foreign players that seems a draw. To an English manager, well settled in the North of the country, it as likely to be on his 'cons' list.
No you're not. We have this same discussion with a Bournemouth fan this week. Burnley are no less ABLE to pay those wages. The income streams of Palace and Burnley are basically identical. You are not 'able to pay much higher wages' at all. You just CHOOSE to.

Bigger budget and salary, and working with better players maybe ?
He was interviewed for the managers position before.

Pulls lied to get his bonus before the due date.
I was wrong about Sam not being paid his bonus, he's been paid, but Palace will receive compensation if he joins another club within a set period of time ( 2 years I believe)
Although plausible, this is guesswork, I imagine the only people that really know are BFS, his agent and the Palace board.

Palace have had eight different managers(five full time, 3 temporaries) in the time that Dyche has been at Burnley. Money certainly talks but if I were Dyche I really don't see what Palace offer other than a few extra quid. Dyche has built Burnley and is in total control there. He's never getting that at Palace. Palace and Watford must be the two least attractive clubs to manage in the long term...shit grounds, shit infrastructure(although I might be doing watford a disservice there) and a rapidly revolving door for managers. Why would anyone in a stable job at the same level go to either club?

But Dyche hasn't got a hatred of all things Palace.
Maybe he may feel he can't go much further with Burnley ?
I personally don't want Dyche anyway.

That's (probably...) true but neither does he have a love for all things palace. Palace do have a revolving door for managers. When was the last time you started and finished a season with the same guy in charge? If you're at a stable club where you call the shots and have the club running to your liking form top to bottom why would you go to a club where the chances are you'll be out on your ear in under a year...all for a few extra quid? How much farther do you think palace can go than Burnley? Not much, realistically.
Still, you don't want him, he (probably) doesn't want you so it's just a hypothetical.

Your just making things up for the sake of it. Please just post facts and not your pure speculation. You are making yourself look very stupid.

Most football fans would see Palace a better proposition then Burnley ( not Brighton fans obviously)
According to many on here, Burnley was a tinpot northern shithole when they dared to bid for Stephens last season !
I personally reckon you lot will struggle to finish above all of the tinpot clubs next season, but it's all about of opinions isn't it ?

For what it's worth the word on Caterham High St today has been Mancini but I'm sure that will quickly change to Monk.

Monk's nailed on for Boro.
Can't see Mancini coming, he'll be after a bigger club then Palace.
