It's Blair all over again. Making rash decisions to please the Yanks.

Of course this is correct

None of us knows what promises FDB made and what promises SP made at the start. If the rumours are any where near close it is FDB that promised things he couldn't deliver like stability and a team that had confidence.

It appears Parish realised early on that FDB was a mistake, I am guessing a lot of that was to do with player reaction. I am also guessing the writing was on the wall before Sunday as he failed to turn around his relationship with the players and staff and not because we lost.

Good on Parish that he realised this one was not going to be recovered early enough to prevent lasting damage. Watch us soar to mid-table obscurity now.

After Swansea I was firmly in the de Boer out camp, but after yesterday’s game I had come round to the view that, given more time, we might soon see an improvement in the results with him as manager. Right now I’m stuck between feeling sorry for him and pleased that he has gone. On the one hand I would probably say he should have been given at least the Southampton game. Then after that we have three games that we’d be lucky to get anything from whoever was in charge, so he might as well have stayed for those too. Then he could be judged, if not on the results, at least on the performances. Mind you, with even 3 points from 8 games, let alone none, his coat would have been on a very shoogly peg indeed.

Some managers are regarded as lucky, but I think FdB must have run over a black cat somewhere along the line. On another day we could have come away from Anfield with a draw and we certainly should have had at least a point yesterday. FbB has also been unfortunate with injuries to Wilf, Loftus-Cheek and Tomkins so early in the season and perhaps now he’s even been unlucky to have been given the push. In this league Palace need all the luck they can get, so I don’t think retaining an unlucky man at the helm will have done us any favours.

So who else was investing 3 million in this club in 2010?

I hope he makes double that and more.....There would be no club without them and him to run it.

Whatever 2010 do ...if we still have a club then they have been a massive benefit.

I can't believe SP loses sleep from HOL hot air. However, if it is really true that buying Sakho was a populist decision that's basically as bad as the mess with this sacking.

Didn't need him, far bigger priorities should have been addressed.

After the spirit and fight shown by the team yesterday, this morning's sacking is plain bonkers and clearly shows that a decision to replace Frank was made some days ago.
As a club, we are a laughing stock and rightly so, seeing as SP took some 6 weeks to carefully select the 'right' candidate for the job!!
