Frank De Boer is sacked after 77 days and 5 games at Palarse with that "legend" Woy Hodgson taking over. :facepalm:

I think the thing that grates, or at least doesn't make sense, with the De Boer sacking is that the Palace board knew exactly what they were getting with him, and seemed to plump for him for those precise reasons. They'd established themselves as a Premier League side and now wanted to become a more aesthetically pleasing side to watch, making the use of some of the flair they had/have in attack. They knew, or at least they should have known, that transitioning to such a style would've taken time, and they've completely bottled it at the first sign of trouble. This essentially nails Palace's colours to the mast now as far as their culture goes; they wish to stay in the top flight by whichever means necessary, and aren't prepared to endure any short-term pain for potential upside.
You have to wonder though if the surprisingly good starts by the likes of Huddersfield and possibly Burnley have put the frighteners on Parish and co. Palace played well at the weekend and if there were more clubs around them at the bottom I do wonder if they'd be more inclined to stick it out.

Gary Caldwell becomes casualty number three of the season, after being sacked by Chesterfield.
..........
And Harry Redknapp becomes number four, after being sacked by Birmingham.
... and Michael Brown at Port Vale.
Caldwell's post-match was the usual "it's all the referee's fault" nonsense. So, nothing to do with winning 3 games in 6 months then! :facepalm:

I see that ex Shrimper Peter Taylor is taking over at Gillingham temporarily until they find a new manager on a permanent basis.
