Probably the same place that he was when the bookies linked him to the job when Pards took over. The I'm not going to Palace saloon, like quite a few other managers given odds.

Not keen on Monk.

But fairplay his last season in charge of the Jacks was blighted by internal problems of a rumoured sexual liason between a board member & one of the players wife's.

"This very morning I had the story confirmed by a friend who has strong contacts at board level. He also has known about this for some time but, despite giving me hints, was reluctant to divulge the full story as it could have been traced back to him. I came on here to start a thread only to find the story is now out. Probably the reason why he chose to cough up at long last.

I was told, more or less, exactly what has now been reported. Personally, I would have sanitized the story but the "facts" already seem to have been set out. Naturally Dyer was furious about what had happened and expected backing from Monk. He didn't get it so demanded an immediate move.

In turn the players were incensed and from then on our football fell apart - coincidentally about the same time that all this was happening. The general feeling of the squad was that they expected the manager to support the player particularly as he was a former team mate. That Monk chose to side with the "establishment" and protect his own interests didn't impress the squad, which seems to have impacted on team spirit and performance"

Maybe that explains why they were so shyte for the last few games under Monk. I'm not joking. I watched them live betting on their games. Truly shyte. One of them was vs the worst form team to n Britain and Swansea didn't enter the final third.

Very good insight and logic mate! Yes, career-wise, leaving Burnley 'on a high' for up-and-coming Palace makes a lot of sense. If he stays at Burnley, it's 50-50 whether they'd improve at all and may even be odds-on to go down (actually favourites with Brighton to be relegated). At Palace, he'd have stronger squad, better odds at finishing mid-table, looking a hero, and improving his career into a regular PL manager and 'easy street' financially for the rest of his life. While his heart may tempt him to stay at Burnley, I think he'll take the clever option and join Palace.
