[Albion] Viera has left Palace and Hodgson returns!

[jackanada]

Seems like a classic case of Parish caving to the toxic HF he has cultivated.
Their best performance for some time and coming to the end of a long line of games that should they have had the humility to have a relegation tracker few points would have been expected from.
Oh well fingers crossed that this really dispirits the players and that they make a truly terrible managerial appointment. I had no hope they'd go down last night but this morning I'm grinning that there's a chance.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I'm surprised, only losing 1-0 against us the other day was an excellent result for them, what more do they expect?

Hmmm me thinks it was all the poor results since the turn of the year that did for him then one more defeat, and by their bitter rivals, however well they played, was what forced the club's hand.

As l said earlier, it's hard not to feel sorry for him.

 

[Mtoto]

Yes, 11/2 to stay up and 9-1 against to go down (or 1/9 as someone correctly posted above.

That was yesterday anyway...

The bet is for relegation, not staying up, and the current top price (for relegation) is 13-2 against. £30 returns £225 including stake. This implies they are long odds-on to stay up.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

So where does Simon Jordan think that squad should be in the league? Every match they are playing 3 or 4 mid table players and at least 3 or 4 who should no way be playing in this league and a few in between.

Pat has done a good job there. I'm not seeing who is going to get more out of them than they have been getting.

As for the talk about easy games. Well, I don't think they will find those games easy. They absolutely cannot afford a poor run or those easy teams will leap frog them very quickly.

So many parallels to Potter, came in, changed the style, played some good stuff and got plaudits. Second season suffered a long winless run, struggled to score goals, and were close to the relegation zone - and this is where the similarities end, we stuck with Potter, stayed up and reaped the rewards over the next season, finishing in our highest ever position. Vieira sacked, they might well stay up but no doubt will revert to another Roy type manager and keep treading water

Saw a video on YouTube yesterday of Palace fans ringing in to chat shite about their plight with Simon Jordan on Talksport. First caller said there's no chance they're going down as they've got a 'really easy run of games coming up' Also went on to say you wouldn't know which team was chasing Europe and which team was in a relegation battle watching them against us.

If you fancy a laugh:

Weirdly I find myself generally agreeing with Jordan and the Palace fans, who seem to have a few more brain cells than the average numpties in the Holmesdale.

 

[Barham's tash]

I mean there’s hardly a name that inspires confidence or reality there. Which is nice.

 

[Weststander]

I know they’re 12th again, but I felt last season had much to do with Gallagher. For example they were better than us at their tip last season (don’t let it bounce), this season they were woeful.

 

[kentgully]

Wonder who they’ve got lined up, not going to attract a top name and who is going to leave their job for Palace?

Southgate

 

[Monkey Man]

I imagine the Palace board are reasonably confident of staying up but knew that PV's time was up and a change was required. So why not do it now, let the new boss take a look at the current squad, and then make some informed decisions about recruitment in the summer?

I don't normally see much cohesive, strategic thinking from the Palace hierarchy but on this occasion I think they may have made the right call.

HTF has this got to page 7 without someone posting

You've let yourselves and NSC down

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The bet is for relegation, not staying up, and the current top price (for relegation) is 13-2 against. £30 returns £225 including stake. This implies they are long odds-on to stay up.

So if I bet £30 they will stay up (which is what I think they will do), what is the return?

 

[peterward]

Yet another manager who never got to see The Full Waite.

View attachment 158417

The shirt numbers of the Palace fans in their fantasy mock up...... 10, 6, 7, 42. Theres more chance of them coming up in your euromillions jackpot win than that Stand ever being built.

What the latest objection? It would block the sunlight in the Sainsburys produce aisle!

 

[Eric the meek]

So if I bet £30 they will stay up (which is what I think they will do), what is the return?

A lifetime ban from nsc for treason?

 

[peterward]

Southgate

I would love it to be southgate, to get that charlatan out of the FA and for him to finally have has ineptitude proven by invariably failing at Palace.

That is the golden ticket.

 

[brighton_tom]

Some palace fans will be upset he’s gone, and some will be worried about the forthcoming turmoil… glad we could help

Quite. In terms of a 2023 palace bedwetting tracker:

Brighton A: (1) 0
ManCity H: (0) 0
Villa A: (1) 0
Liverpool H: (0) 1
Brentford A: (1) 1
Brighton H: (3) 1
ManUtd A: (0) 0
Newcastle H: (3) 1
ManUtd H: (0) 1
Chelsea A: (0) 0
Spurs H: (0) 0

Tracker points 9. Actual points 5. That was a tough run of fixtures given league positions and form.

Shame, he was doing such a good job at the scum

Can we rename the thread “Happy Sack Patrick’s Day”

Where are the usual talking heads screaming "Racism!"?

In your imagination, perhaps?

Nice to see SJ managed to squeeze a cheeky little #TeamsLikeBrighton in there
