Casino Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Bollocks to em, thats football. aye they need to know their place the big clubs, like us, do this all the time Quote
mickbrown Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I struggle to understand the reasoning behind this. Makes absolutely no sense to me. Quote
Guest Frandsen08 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 if we win tonight and then lose on saturday this site will blow up! Quote
MickyD Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Someone has pointed out that his last ever goal for Palace came on this day, Tuesday October 23rd 2007 five years to the day he left them and came to Bolton. Conspiracy theorists; over to you. Quote
tomski Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Welcome to the Wanderers, will he be at Wolves tonight? Quote
MickyD Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Which Wanderers are you welcoming him to if he's at Wolves tonight? Quote
mickbrown Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 More mentions of his agent being that Curtis fella on that Palace site................ .................makes a little more sense. And not in a good way. Quote
Zico Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 The poster on that link who said " He is Still Tactically inept" was the one that sent a shiver down my spine. Think this appointment will spell the end of the fat prick from Leigh. nah there'd have been posters on here laughing at west ham when they took on fat sam there's bound to be a certain "didn't want him anyway" mindset knocking about no idea miself wait and see even if he gets us promoted, there'll be someone down the line saying gartside got it wrong Quote
tomski Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Welcome to the Wanderers, will he be at Wolves tonight? Wolves obviously! Quote
Boltimore Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 BBC site says Palace have the worst defensive record in the league. Our main concern is our Defence. Oh dear, although I appreciate you can't polish a turd so he may be up against it anyway sorting out that back line. He will have my full support if he takes the job. Quote

Think this appointment will spell the end of the fat prick from Leigh. That comment had me worried too. I hope this is not a fryingpan/fire appointment, because that will look like we've done it on the cheap again. Having said that I'll give him a chance and my support. Quote

burndenpaddock Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 A young scottish manager with one good season in the Championship, will we ever learn from our mistakes? He will get my full support whilst he is our manager, just have a feeling this will end up with another 'promising' manager's career in tatters.. Quote
lrevolution Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Quotes from BBC site "Won just once in Palace's first five games, conceding 14 goals in the process" "No side has conceded more goals at home than Palace (12 in six games)" Brilliant. Quote
DazBob Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 A young scottish manager with one good season in the Championship, will we ever learn from our mistakes? Aye, because all young Scottish managers who have had one season in the Championship will always be exactly the same. Quote

Don't sit on the fence you'll get splinters in your arse... Are we giving him -6 games before we make our mind up then? Quote
burndenpaddock Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Aye, because all young Scottish managers who have had one season in the Championship will always be exactly the same. George Burley, Billy Davies, Jim Jeffries, Owen Coyle, Paul Lambert, Dougie Freedman....all have 2 things in common. I'm not making it up...honest!! Quote
lrevolution Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Don't sit on the fence you'll get splinters in your arse... Are we giving him -6 games before we make our mind up then? I'm far from sat on the fence, their defensive record is even poorer than ours. I just can not fathom this appointment. Quote

Maybe its the players that are shit and not the manager oh. Starting to sound familiar Quote
Guest Frandsen08 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I'm far from sat on the fence, their defensive record is even poorer than ours. I just can not fathom this appointment. yet sat 4th in the table, compared to 16th Quote

lrevolution Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 yet sat 4th in the table, compared to 16th granted. but they've only won 2 games more this season. they lost their first 3 in the league, before getting thumped 4-1 to preston in the cup. I just think the appointment is far too coyle-esque for my liking. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Reet, I'll bite, now it looks like Freedman, who would you have appointed? Get it off your chest lad(s) Edited October 23, 2012 by Youri McAnespie Quote
