Holloway facing the sack

[Acker79]

If he is facing the sack I'd say it was more to do with form from the end of last season, and perhaps his "yeah, we're going to be relegated this season, but we'll celebrate when we get our first goal" attitude, rather than a defiant "we can prove everyone wrong and stay up" attitude.

The owners are every bit as responsible for the transfers as the manager. He'll they've even admitted to enquiring about a player after freedman had told them he didn't want the player. So I doubt they would fire him just because of the transfers they've brought in.

But Albion lost their first two games of the season too! Early days but the narrowness of Palace's defeats suggests they've got more than enough to survive. Sorry.

I have no anti-palace sentiment, but I can't see them staying up, they just don't look good enough in any department. I wouldn't particularly mind being wrong, I said the same about Southampton last year but after a few games, they grew into it and played some good stuff.

Palace aside, this is one of the worst aspects of the Premier League for me.

Holloway has done, let's be honest, brilliantly to get that shower into the top flight. They are not a good side, and he somehow got them up.

Adkins, McDermott...the list goes on. People who have overachieved getting their teams promoted to the PL.

But all of a sudden chairmen's heads get turned, they think they ought to be there rather than are lucky to be there, and the manager gets canned. I hope he gets the season.

I want the Palace derby next season and the most likely way for this too happen is for Palace to get relegated, I'd be gutted if Holloway is sacked because he has all the capabilities to get Palace into the Championship. I will however be supporting Palace to stay in the Premier League if our promotion is guaranteed at some point this season.

This would make me very happy just to watch the BBS implode with self righteous indignation at the appointing of what they call an openly racist manager.

Most of us know it's bullsh it as you do , move along there's nothing to see here .

Do you post on BBS?

Every time Poyet is mentioned the accusations are rife about him being racist, frankly if I was Poyet I would have got my lawyers involved.

Anyway, this thread is about Holloway facing the axe, your thoughts if true?

Source of this story is The Sunday People. Here's The Eurosport write up. Has Alan Pardew as the replacement

Much more plausible than Gus going there. They seem to have a history of poor appointments and Pardew would continue that fine tradition.

Made me chuckle.

Agree with this to an extent. But promotion often also brings the resources to attract a manager with broader horizons and the calibre to move the club into a different realm altogether. Certainly seems to be the case with Pochettino's style of play at Southampton. Some managers are very good up to a level but not necessarily beyond. So do you stay loyal or continue progressing? The key is to have a manager with that potential to keep growing with the club already in place - someone like Oscar hopefully.

I don't want Poyet to pitch up anywhere. The first thing he'll do is try to buy Ulloa.

Unfortunately can see him going anyway , he's Prem class, understand Gooners were watching him yesterday.

I think Poyet's lawyers are busy on a more lucrative case elsewhere .

25m to them. Nothing less thanks.

It's interesting watching MotD and seeing the signings that Hull have made including Livermore and Huddlestone. With respect to Palace, their signings aren't close to that quality and to get rid of Holloway would be stupid. They need stability and I'm not sure they would get someone who could do better.

How difficult is it to answer a thread with a reasonable reply without sniping?

I bet Arsenal fans would love that. They try to sign all of Europe's most exciting strikers e.g. Suarez, Benzema, Higuain and then they end up with a striker from Brighton.

Sorry, another Palace thread, and strangely for me not an anti one.


CPFC2010 should take a long look at themselves and the facilities they are asking the manager and players to ply their trade in.

You can't polish a turd, you can roll it in glitter but it's still a turd.

This is an interesting observation, I think I'll give it a try....and if I'm successful with the glitter I'll pop a little red and blue flag on it.

To answer the question, it's a load of BS.
You're a fine one to talk about sniping !!

Well the guy who wrote it is on Sunday Supplement now and they will be talking about it later.

 

[little al]

Gus is a shoe-in to go there

I ****ing hope not.

Most be true then, I'll take it back.
