The dumb thing about Palace sacking FDB (as I'm sure he's always referred to ;)) and replacing him with Hodgson (if indeed that's what they do), is that they should have just got Roy in to start with if they were just going to scrap De Boer's plans after 4 games.  Think he deserved longer.

This is why I think there's a lack of patience generally in football nowadays. Getting rid of a manager after 4 games really is ridiculous.

Just another example of how money has ruined the game. 

Also social media & 24 hour access to news always looking for the next story, next thing to happen. Ahh, for the days of clubcall....

Someone dismissed my shout of Stam based on "reading aren't so good at the moment" though they use far harder language.

However that's a silly comment as stam proved last season along can organise a team and get them in play offs. A penalty kick away and he would being touted more than David Wangnor who is Huddersfield boss , around not just premier league but  European as the bat manager up and coming !

Stam quality and would be far more suitable to what we want to do that Bruce or much of the other listed on here.

This is by far best solution and also a very good suggestion if I do say myself.

My main reason for not wanting Stam is the very superficial fact that I don't want anyone that's associated with Fergie around the club for a while after the shitfest we've seen under Bruce and McLeish.

Have you seen how Reading play? They make about 50 passes between the back four and go nowhere.

They've done enough in the other half of the pitch to beat us comfortably the last 2 times we've played.

As for Frank De Boer...

His is the shortest Premier League managerial tenure in terms of games, and the 47-year-old's past two jobs have lasted a combined 162 days.

He's the Messiah.

Oh , thats good.

As for FDB well Palace are smart. Giving failing managers more time is what clubs who want to get relegated do.
