Edinburgh White Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Chuffed with this to be honest. Was sh***ing my pants when i thought Keane or Mick might take over. We've still got Jimmy and Sammy to make a positive impact at the club and I hope Jimmy gets his chance someday. Lets get behind them all ! Quote
jules_darby Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Freedman probably has more mgt experience than Todd had when we appointed him Quote
bwfc87 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Is there any word on whats happening with Jimmy, Sammy and Julian? Heard that Lawrence and whoever are in charge of palace tonight, hope thats permanent Quote
Sweep Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Some of the comments, if the bloke reads this I'd be surprised if he bothers coming. On the plus side NB, you might be able to get rid of some of these pitcjforks that you've got stored, as it sounds like some folk aren't going to give him the slightest chance Quote
captainmed Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I wanted someone who will instill some discipline into our team and who is proven in Management. Not some young, in-experienced Manager who has done nothing so far. I've had 5 texts and every one of them is pissed off with this appointment. Mick Mcarthy, Billy Davies, Graham Souness are all proven if slightly un-popular. Hope i'm wrong. Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Palace chairman on Talksport now, Reckons Freedman thought Palace didnt have as much ambition as us Quote
Carlos Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Mick Mcarthy, Billy Davies, Graham Souness are all proven if slightly un-popular. Proven shit? Quote
Farrelli Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I'm happy enough with this appointment and I have a good feeling he will do well. Young, ambitious and must have a lot of belief in himself as he has just left a team in fourth place in the league. If you don't give the bloke a chance from day one go and support some other team.

superjohnmcginlay Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 The Palace chairman is speaking very well TBF Quote
Traf Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Get behind him until Christmas, then burn his house down, regardless of our league position. Quote
gonzo Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 The Palace chairman is speaking very well TBF He was on the other week about the Wigan being after Zaha etc,thought he sounded spot on. I also think people in football hold us in a little higher esteem than our own fans do. Quote
passmosster Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 The Palace chairman is speaking very well TBF You would when you have trousered £500,000 for a manager that you were thinking of firing 6 months ago. Quote
Totty Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Palace chairman on Talksport now, Reckons Freedman thought Palace didnt have as much ambition as us what an enormous cunt that Durham is. Quote

Aye, he said it wasnt as much as Bolton snatching him, Freedman saw us a being the better option for his mangerial ambitions, he said we had acted properly and that he wasnt holding us to ransom over commpensation, it was all amicable. Apperently we emailed them regarding Freedmans availiability on Friday, but they didnt mention it then due to the game for obvious reasons. Quote

superjohnmcginlay Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Ha ha manager by twitter is the future #manager Quote
MalcolmW Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Our first manager that's younger than me. Todd is younger than me! (And my uncle used to take him and his dad to watch Colin's elder brother play for Bishop Auckland when Colin was 10 or so.) Quote
anewman Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 i will give him tonight and make my mind up Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 when did we show any ambition ha ha ha I must have had some wonderful dream the past 20 odd years then, a bit like Tom Cruise in that shit film apart from the bumming - or is that another movie? I dunno it's probably a bad analogy - not many people have seen the film. McCarthy, Billy Davies, Souness? Sounds like a shortlist of the most retrograde appointments we could've made. But they'd have come in and kicked some airy fairy puffs into touch - Eagles would be the first to feel their...erm, wrath? After all he's been... Quote
SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I've had 5 texts and every one of them is pissed off with this appointment. I think you need some more intelligent friends... Quote
rochdale white Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Link to an interview with Freedman before the game versus United last year: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/crystal-palace/8924349/Manchester-United-v-Crystal-Palace-Dougie-Freedman-relishing-pitting-wits-against-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-in-cup.html When we were first linked I was as underwhelmed as anyone, but looking at the names knocking around ther wasn't much on offer at all, and the more I've read about him the more I am encouraged. Got my full backing. Quote
Spider Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 i will give him tonight and make my mind up Best post this year. Quote
