I dont see how southampton appointing a new manager would interfer with us doing the same. Why should it effect us.

If FDB is going to be our managwr all well and good but please just tell us.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice - could have been Mr Dyche!!!

It's taken a while but SP has his man. Proven winner with great contacts.

Feeling very optimistic - even got our red and blue stripes back!

Mr Dyche was never even considered.

Well, I have a fairly good idea from de Boer's brother and, as I recall, support staff was definitely an issue on the table still. As this is a frequent sticking point, in general, not just with us, I'd say it was quite a biggie that I might have wanted to get nailed down early on.

We've all heard de Boers brother and he clearly said they was tieing up loose ends and small details. With FdB very much looking forward to starting at Palace.

Dave heard something completely different and negative to the rest of us. Surprise suprise.

De Boers brother never said the support staff was an issue, you really do like to twist everything you can to fit your negative agenda.

Maybe you should go feel some tits to cheer up

Just giving his honest opinions.

He talked about the lack of options in respect of British managers - Look at the clubs who have been looking for managers in pre-season IE : Watford,Hull,Leeds,Southampton,Norwich - they have all appointed managers from abroad.

I still cant help feeling that Dyche has been badly undevalued, precisely becsuse he's 'just' a british manager

Meant to say, I dont want Palace to be turned into a Barcelona. I want Palace to be turned into a better Palace! PS 400 pages, job done!

According to Neil Ashton FDB wasn't SP first choice Pellegrino was but Southampton offered him more money apparently

They're not going to play jazz over the PA system before every game, are they?

I hate jazz.

They've only just brought back The Long Good Friday (albeit a muffled version) and I really don't want to be sitting there, morosely regarding my Inferior Quality Meat Pie whilst they play The Dutch College Swing Band's Greatest Hits.

My dear mother and father had an album of the 'Dutch swing college band'. Continuing on the Netherlands theme they also told me they went to see in concert 'Johnny Lion and the jumping jewels'.

I think Pellegrino is a man in a hurry, just wants to use a club (like Southqmpton ) like a springboard to something better. I doubt whether he will stay there more than a couple of years.

Of course, FdB hasnt even signed yet for Palace, so we will have to see. Assuming he does sign, I think FdB's natural coaching style doesnt seem to be an especially good fit with Palace, so lets see if the club and its players can adapt ro FdB and whether FdB has the flexibilty to adapt to Palace. It could,be a marriage made in heaven, or in hell! What I think the club needs more than anything else is stability and steady development. I think our playing squad is 'nearly there' in terms of being PL-ready. I would really hate it if we were pushed into being a mini-Barcelona which we really are not.

So the rumours were correct that we had to wait for sloppy seconds affter Southampton had finished.
