Alph Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 WoohooooZzzz Seriously, he's not getting a semi out of me if he takes over Derby at any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Snout in the trough and completely oblivious as to how far removed he's become from football fans. I was hoping he'd ever work in the game again. Glad I'm not a Palarse fan, though I could say that for a whole load of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Palace have a squad that have badly underperformed in my opinion but it is a squad including some good footballers. I think they had a choice between a relatively low risk survival through functional football option with Allardyce or a slightly riskier option of getting a manager in who can play to the strengths of the squad and take them to the next level.

Dimmu Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Benteke et al should work perfectly with Big Sam. Seems good and uninspiring fit for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Pardew slightly hard done by? Out of the last 6 games he's played and only lost by a goal to Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd. The other 3 games picked up 5pts. Hennessey to Benteke will be great to watch for Palace fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once I disagree. He's deserved this for ages. No club in the top 5 divisions of English football earned fewer points in 2016. Pardews palace were 92nd out of 92 in that respect. That's a whole year of awful form even taking into account the 5/6 extra games some clubs have had due to league differences. Allardyce isn't a one trick pony - bought and incorporated flare players into his sides in the past. All he does is make the defence solid and uses statistics to say that the more crosses teams put in, the more goals they score. Let's instruct my team to get the ball into the box regularly. Not a daft idealogy to go with and if it was archaic surely he'd be ineffective as a manager by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 What does it say about the state of the game that someone who essentially offered to break the rules just waltzes back into lucrative employment. I was hoping that the next I read about BFS was an fa enquiry rather than his big beaming potato head. Still, if he's boring palace fans to death at least he's not inflicting his style on the national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Will do a decent job at Palace. No doubt about that. I'd hoped football chairmen would have some dignity and morality than to appoint an untrustworthy man clearly bereft of principles but football isn't like that anymore. It's about good business and money. Blokes like Allardyce will always get offers in the game because it's morally bankrupt. I find that sad.

They've only won six games all calendar year and Pardew sides are notorious for being worse in the second half of the season… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
