I don't know if FdB would be the best or worst manager in Palace history, but I'm Palace and the day he signed he became Palace too. Therefore we're supposed to have his back, he's one of us and he's been let down terribly if he's forced out so soon. Let down by a lack of transfer activity and lied to by a board that told him he had the backing of a very loyal bunch of fans. Kind of get your point but the difference is what I've seen in front of me is a man who is tactically inflexible and unable to take us forward. Is this unfair after three games? Possibly. But look at the facts. Defensively we've been a shambles. The players look completely out of sorts (Luka is a fine example of this) and Benteke is completely isolated. The board haven't given him a huge war chest but if Ruedewaald is the type of player he wants at the club then we're in trouble. Cute centre halves don't fit our style. So, yes three games seems harsh but what I've seen is more than alarming. Our displays under Holloway and Warnock were far more competent. FDB talked about top 10! Not going to happen.

Who cares if we are a 'laughing stock' if we sack de Boer after three games? I don't actually think we would be, not that it is important. Results are what counts. The fact is that after three games we have no points, have not scored a goal, do not look like a team that is improving and have gone backwards from last season. It is plain that it is not going to work. Getting rid of him now gives us a chance of survival. I would support that and wish de Boer all the best going forward in his career.

Edited by Willo (28 Aug 2017 12.24am) I can't see him being dismissed after just 3 games. But have to agree with you Willo, Freedman will not be the answer.

Sam found that the players 'froze' and just didnt play at home, He worked with psychologist to change thevdefeatist mentality of the players. I dont think FdB has the skill hset to understand this or take appropriate action. Sadly, the best course of action is for FdB to go now, for Freedman to take over as caretaker, and for a Sean Dyche type of manager to take over before Christmas. Palace do have a lot of good players, but we do need a leader on the pitch like Sakho.

Are you delusional ??? Give your head a wobble son...That same group of players failed to win in the first 8 games for Big Sam, that same group of players lost to Sunderland 4 - 0, same group got embarrased by Swansea Twice!. The only thing I know is they are capable of is embarrassing us fans. Its the crap players we have that's the issue. Im not absolving FDB of blame but ijesus you must see we have total dross in our side. Ignorant you say? lol go to bed mate

The thing is if you appoint someone with FdB's vision of how to play, you've got to then back him with some money surely? And also with the exception of when Sakho was playing, our form was very poor for most of last season - so it's not like he's inherited a winning squad - nothwithstanding that we have one or two very good players.
