Oh dear. Which former Bristol city manager went on to have a very good career abroad but an underwhelming one in the U.K., including being poor for England and also gets ridiculed for a speech impediment?

Kingswood Robin Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Lunacy. They're hardly premiership bigshots are they? Any team outside the top 4/5 can expect to lose 4 on the trot in that division at some point. Going by what I saw yesterday, some of the players need to leave, not the manager.

MarcusX Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 They battered Burnley by all accounts and watching the highlights they missed numerous sitters. You also cant allow for players making hopeless mistakes leading to goals That said, he didnt have the players at his disposal to make such a big overhaul to their playing style - thats either completely niaive or he was under the impression he had the time to work with it. To go and sack him and appoint Hodgson just makes Parish's comments silly. Palace for the drop IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ever improving technology, training methods and education I believe that one day a manager in football will be out of his post in under ten minutes!

The Bard Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 41 minutes ago, Nibor said: Can't really see why you'd appoint someone with the brief of wholesale changing the way the club is run from top to bottom including the playing style and then only give them four games. It's utterly insane and an admission that the board were not honest with themselves about what they wanted and the risks involved - that's incompetence on their part. I hope they get relegated anyway, never like them. Another deluded London club. Will hopefully be getting turned over by us soon on their way down to meet Charlton in League 1.

Fiale Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 3 hours ago, Davefevs said: Difficult one this one. Not the decision itself, but who to blame! - De Boer for thinking he could play the Ajax way with the players at his disposal and one window, whilst realising the risk of not being able to change them overnight or - Parish for appointing a manager and falling for the "I can make Palace like Ajax" spiel. I wonder if De Boer will go to Ajax in a Jif(fy)!!!!!! Get the cheque book out since he's already here in the UK and offer to make him in charge of the whole academy setup from top to bottom, with new training facilities hopefully being announced sometime soon, and a push to cat 1 status. - soak up all the local talent and try to make BCFC a team with a number of local talent where people know they can come and have a good chance of first team football, good coaching even if it means using us as a stepping stone to better things.

Flaxbourton Red Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 de Boer was hopelessly out if his depth in the premier league - also out of his depth in seria A. I can't say I'm surprised he got his marching orders - no points or goals after his first four games on the trot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 what I think of Palace or De Boer is largely irrelevant. Steve Parrish wanted to play "the Ajax way",,, so appointed Frank de Boer. It beggars belief that Frank de Boer looked at the Palace squad and thought "yeah I can do that" without the necessary quality of player available at Palace. Bad calls from the pair of 'em, but I trust Frank has got a decent pay off. If Palace want to appoint me next... I'll do just an effective job of screwing it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
