Willo South coast - west of Brighton. 29 Aug 17 1.28pm
Parish and FDB have had several meetings since he arrived formal or otherwise discussing a range of matters. And it is the end of the 'Window' this Thursday ! But there are those really excited by the notion of "Do as I say", "Change the style or your out" with a frazzled FDB coming out of the room in beads of perspiration clinging to his job by his fingertips !!!!

Originally posted by Petereagle None of us really know what's going on, so its a question of which rumour we choose to believe (if any). Personally, I hope that Parish did give FdB a right b........* cos he certainly deserves it. I hope also he has been left under no illusion that his job IS on the line and if results, and a more pragmatic style of play isn't in evidence soon, he's out. We did adapt our style quite drastically against Liverpool away though. If Parish wants us to adapt at home to Swansea and Huddersfield then it really does beg the question of why he hired Frank in the first place when the players we have in the squad are clearly not good enough to play any possession football (quite an incredible assumption on the money they earn). If you cant do anything but counter attack against those types of teams at home, then really do you deserve to be in the PL? Edited by Mstrobez (29 Aug 2017 3.20pm) We're the Arthur over ere!

... if that were so then I'd agree with you. Originally posted by bexleydave On the other hand, of course, you could be completely wrong. Dominic Fifield doesn't generally "make up stories" and if you really believe that no blame attaches to de Boar for our truly chaotic start to a new season, and that it's all just business as usual, then you could well be in line for the Most Deluded Poster in the next HOL Awards. We move in the direction of our thoughts. Just think a little.

Originally posted by Mstrobez Basically what I concluded was Dom Fifield knew that there was a meeting happening - had no idea what it was about but decided it was one where Frank had to beg for his job. He came out of the meeting and wasn't sacked and Dom reported it as "clinging onto his job". A complete load of s*** stirring bollox in my opinion. I'd normally agree with just another journo making stories up but that completely forgets that Dominic Fifield is normally pretty dam spot on when coming to reporting Palace. IMO he is the best journalist for information on Palace, other than stuff directly coming out of a club press release. I'd be hugely surprise if he didn't have some kinda access / friendship with Parish or one of his very close aids. IMO if Fifield has written it about Palace it's true until proven otherwise.

In fairness he just said that we agreed a deal with Liverpool for Sakho and it turned out our bid was actually rejected. Plenty of "reliable sources" saying Frank had cleared his desk last night too. Do have to wonder who these people are sometimes and what it is about them that is so reliable. Edited by Mstrobez (29 Aug 2017 6.25pm) We're the Arthur over ere!

Originally posted by Zschopautaler What a load of tosh written regarding style of play.They are professional footballers paid a lot of money they should be able to play any style of football that is asked of them. The manager hit the nail on the head when he said they didn't have the courage.It is down to the management to give them that belief that they can do what is asked of them. Resorting back to the way of Allerdyce and Pullis might keep you in the premier league but it doesn't take you any further. All the Sh. .T spouted on Sky and Talk Sport of the premier league being the best in the world is fantasy.It is good promotion to make shed loads of money. Hence the dismal performances in the champions league and world cup etc. Parish has said often enough that he wants us to move on to the next level. Dyche and Allerdyce won't achieve that. Let the manager get on with the job he was asked to do. Get behind the team and the management and it will come good. Thank you; finally, someone who is capable of grown up thinking. 100% correct.

Originally posted by curlyeagle I can't see him being dismissed after just 3 games. But have to agree with you Willo, Freedman will not be the answer. Ever is a funny old word and since Doug has been our manager and pretty much being promoted under him (no semantics please) it covers him. I am not sure about making him manager but Sammy is a very capable coach and if they were working together they could well be successful. FdB has been unfortunate and he has a 2-0 against WBA in his pocket so can't really be that bad but he reacts even slower than a few of our other managers. Was very positive when he joined but now I have to admit that he needs 240v up his proverbial but is SP even slower and even less willing to change his mind? Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

Holloway managed us for about 40 games that season and freedman about 7 so try not to rewrite history. He lost his and his fans' claims of promotion the day he left and further tarnished himself by unnecessarily grassing us up, although he was so used to it with Jordan he couldn't help himself. Keep him in the background judging potential talent, what he's used to and away from the dugout. COYP
