Seems a bit odd to have offered a 3year deal when much was said about a manager needing to stay and build for 5 years....!?

There is no such thing as a 'sure thing'. This way both their backs are covered.

Increments required just in case he is poor. If we need to get rid, we would have to pay up a five year contract instead of 3 if it was that long.

On the other hand it could be that he's had his highlights done. Who knows what it its about? We've had hints of major announcements in the past that have turned out to be something of a let down.

Please tell me this was tongue in cheek....

Another indication is that Palace are (rumoured) to have put bids in for a quality young dutch defender (Veltman) who de Boer has worked with before

I think that we will now probably be linked with almost every Dutchman now much as we were linked with all Newcastle players under Pardew and anyone who had played under Pulis when he was in charge

A certainty but hopefully this time the talk will turn into action and we'll get players on the up rather than at or near the end of their careers.

There was talk of a Tuesday/Wednesday announcement on HOL and I alluded to the fact there would be an announcement before then.
Also told someone in my 'Local' on Saturday night.
Looks like I am going to be right (For once !) !

White smoke at Palace

Is this the sign that Crystal Palace have chosen their successor to Sam Allardyce?

White smoke bellowing from the Sistine Chapel normally means a new Pope has been chosen.

It looks like Palace have taken a leaf out of the Vatican's book, albeit from a takeaway.

Former Ajax boss Frank de Boer is expected to be officially announced at 14:00 BST.

At least the club have a sense of humour. Good publicity for the chicken shack as well!
