Bolton News are reporting that Gartside has made an approach for Freedman, but Palace are yet to reply.

 

The daily mail are also running this story.

 

Personally would give Jimmy a chance.

Freedman probably has more mgt experience than Todd had when we appointed him

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

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

Is the answer Wigan?

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.

Palace chairman on Talksport now,

 

Reckons Freedman thought Palace didnt have as much ambition as us

Proven shit?

when did we show any ambition ha ha ha

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.

The Palace chairman is speaking very well TBF

Get behind him until Christmas, then burn his house down, regardless of our league position.

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.

You would when you have trousered £500,000 for a manager that you were thinking of firing 6 months ago.

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.

Did we email them or did Garty tweet them: Giz ur mgr plz

Ha ha manager by twitter is the future #manager

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.)

i will give him tonight and make my mind up

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...

I've had 5 texts and every one of them is pissed off with this appointment.

 

I think you need some more intelligent friends...

Link to an interview with Freedman before the game versus United last year:

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.

i will give him tonight and make my mind up

 

Best post this year.

I wanted someone who will instill some discipline into our team and who is proven

 

He is meant to be a disciplinarian from what I hear

i hope for all our sakes he is up to the job, but with gartsides track record on selecting managers i wont be getting excited, i will give him my full backing as our new manager,and sincerly hope that gartside is not saying again,we tried but it didnt work out, whilst drawing his hefty salary for his expertise.
