Popular Post east lower Posted February 18 Popular Post Share Posted February 18 It’s interesting to note the different ‘language’ used in the pres in relation to our approach to the Brighton chap (yes, another one!) and Man Utd’s pursuit of Dan Ashworth. Apparently we’re ‘poaching’ and Man United are ‘approaching’. It’s the little things that give away the real agenda’s. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a ‘raid’ of course, not ‘poaching’. i do wonder what we used to do without the analyst’s, performance science, sports directors etc, etc. Probably got as many things right or wrong as we do now, is the real answer.

Sciatika Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 We used to have individuals making decisions and now we have committees. If committees pull together, they can make better decisions than individuals. However, if they pull in opposite directions, their decisions are worse. Sadly, the latter is more commonly the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the club has become a modern day wheel tappers and shunter club? and do you think, Todd or Eggy are playing Colin Crompton and ringing the fire bell, saying order, order? I thank you 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTG Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Doff made cap to Roy Hodgson for doing the honourable thing step down as CP coach, many on here have at sometime felt the effects of stress and understand what it does to their bodies. Enjoy your retirement Roy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really couldn't understand what clubs see in him, he's done absolutely FA as a manager. As the old saying goes "it's not what you know, it's who you know".

Enjoy your retirement Roy. Yup. He probably should have left in the summer, and the way the new coach in waiting sat in the sands at Tottenham shows the lack of class shown towards coaches these days, sitting in the stands and waiting for the other coach to get sacked.

Enjoy your retirement Roy. And I hope that he stays retired - for his own longevity. It’s too stressful these days and the self-proclaimed and self-important Palace ultras (laughs uncontrollably) didn’t help him latterly. Considering the mess he took over from Viera last season and got them mid-table they should be damn grateful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He strikes me as exactly the type able to hoodwink naive or over-enthusiastic owners/chairmen and then completely fail by treating those that work for him like he's above them all. Listening to his post-match interviews is really hard work - bloke's just a complete management-speak bluffer. Easy to see why players wouldn't like him and why he benefitted from having a couple of big personalities above/around him as a first team coach or assistant manager.
