Originally posted by TheExpatEagle If he were a one trick pony it was a trick that was much sought after and successful. Unlike the vast majority of managers in the Premier League, he figured out how to beat Chelsea. It was the same formula that beat Liverpool too: be compact and defend, and only commit forward both their wingbacks are up field. It's not got a fancy name like gengenpress (it's actually akin to rope-a-dope) but it pitted our strengths - organised defense and lightning fast breaks - against their weakness - over-aggressiveness. Bolton were a drab side hampered by limited resources. What Allardyce did at Palace was something very different that showed his ability to manage the squad he had to get the best results. It's funny. It's almost like he's died because usually only then do people concede "well...he wasn't such a c* after all." We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just waing with a football.

The problem is as a chairman and even us as fans, it's ok wanting a manager with a long term plan for the club, but ALL managers know the score now, they're not around long enough for 'long term' and they're a few bad results on the bounce from the sack, so in any interview they'll say what SP wants to hear knowing they don't really give a toss about the club long term because they probably won't be here!! We should be looking for a manager who can get results now!! As in next season, that's the most important season. But then again, these days one season is 'long term' Edited by monkey (01 Jun 2017 2.54pm)

Isn't that funny as the general consensus was that Parish should have sacked Pardew much earlier than he did as his "few bad results on the bounce" turned out to be almost a year.

Pards history with the club saved him from the boot as Parish so wanted him to be successful. Agreed he should of gone quicker. The new manager will not have that luxury. Also Parish will not want to repeat a period of a brand new Pards error (sic). Will be a conservative appointment. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

And the 'general consensus' was also that the cup run kept him in the job and made it difficult for SP to sack him!! But yes, good on SP for giving him every chance to turn things, but as anyone knows these days, that's not usually the case at palace or other clubs, one way or another managers are not around 'long term' unless you're a grey haired old French man north of the river

Thats a brilliant record for any club wxcept those at the very top of the tree, which meqns for Arsenal that's an average record given their levels of expectations.

Keeping us up and a cup final is a good season whichever way you look at it. Should've gone a bit earlier but I'm guessing he wanted to have somebody else in quickly if he did make that move. Looks like he'd been working on SA for a while by the time he did sack AP. The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
