Hopefully this is not just an understatement and he isn't just lucky with the latest wins. Cause if that's true and all his years have been of cheating and making people think he's good at something he's not, then we're in for a lot of trouble next year LOL! What stupidity! What meaness of spirit! His job was to turn things around and keep us in the PL next year! Are you really a Palace fan? Mate, you are on my 'ignore' list. [Link]

Originally posted by Shifty97 I wasn't too keen on his appointment as I didn't think he would really take us forward in the long term and thought that he would only be a minor improvement on Pards. So far he has proven me wrong and hopefully will continue to do so. He has really improved a lot, the fitness (even my old man who is a Liverpool saw this against Arsenal), confidence of players, organisation and certain players have improved massively under him. One thing I would say that he got wrong was the 3-5-2 formation. Doesn't work with our players and style for me. but in all honesty he was still trying to find something that worked for us The other Sam needs a mention too though- Sammy Lee 3-5-2 works well when we switch to it during the game. Not so much when we start the match with it.

Mate, you are on my 'ignore' list. Thank you very much you real Palace fan. From what I understand, to be a Palace fan you mustn't say anything about the manager, no matter the real arguments you bring, no matter the fact that we're in a normal discussion about what Allardyce has done right or wrong. I've just layed out his approach for the first 6-7 matches and highlighted some questionable decision for a "manager of his caliber" and so I must not be areal Palace fan and should be on the ignore list. Can't you see you are incapable of engaging in a normal conversation where people give opinions and come up with arguments? Why can't you bring arguments to combat what I said about his first games in charge?

You have to be either famous or very rich to get a job like that. That doesn't mean they're intelligent. In fact, most of the managers are just famous former PL or international players who have remained in the system. There's an entire network of friendships, family relations and nepotism, business connections and other "qualities" that decide the manager or head scout before the competence quality. If you think it's so easy getting a job at these Premier League and Championship clubs I welcome you to try. If you haven't played football in the top division or aren't a well-known international or didn't have connections at the club relating to your grandfather, you won't make it That doesn't mean you're less competent. Some, if not allof the managers these days are just the definition of incompetence Edited by mattteo (18 Apr 2017 7.43am)
