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 !) !

More gloating. Itk . Garbage.

Well f***ing woopy doo.

I wish you would take your self congratulatory, attention seeking, narcissistic personality disorder somewhere else because frankly it's doing my head in.

Rant over.

I re-iterate for the umpteen time that I am far more self-deprecation than self-promotion.

There are those who simply cannot stomach the fact, that on occasions, I am right.

So let's get back to the subject matter shall we ?

Just seen that FDB has only ever managed in Holland. Thought he may have plied trade elsewhere for a bit. Will he be able to shake the Ajax tag at Palace? Hopefully for good reasons it will be a yes. Positives are the level of player we could attract with him in charge, this could compensate a lack of knowledge outside of Holland. Bit nervous about this one now, its just not very Palace like, it does show however that we are evolving plus I love the idea of him bringing through more youth players (this will have been a big factor in Parish's choice in my opinion). Out of interest who was the last foreign Palace manager? I cannot think of any in my time supporting. Nothing to be feared mind you, we are located in a highly diverse multicultural area and quite like adopting the continental chants too!

No - He managed 'Inter Milan' but was sacked after 85 days.

Confucius also he say "If you don't blow your own trumpet, somebody will use it as a spitoon"

I know that, hardly counts though especially given the circumstances re Chinese consortium bowling their way in.

Lombardo was 'Player/Manager'.
We haven't had a non-playing foreign manager up to now.

Yes there were extenuating circumstances but he was manager. Sure this was discussed as part of the selection process at our club.

Why don't you stop talking about yourself for one minute and obey what you keep patronisingly telling the rest of us.... and get back to the thread.

Eh ?
I don't go out of my way to make WILLO the focus of attention - it is others with their accusations which thrust me into the 'Spotlight'. And of course posts like the one you have instigated !

I have lost count of the times where I have urged people to get back to the subject matter and NOT turn it into yet another tedious WILLO thread.

So can we please heed the message in the paragraph above. Many thanks.

Antonio Conte never managed outside of Italy until he took over at Chelsea and he seems to have done OK

Great. So you are going to stop talking about yourself for once. Nice one. Well done.

You cannot help talking about me can you ?
Despite my please to return to the subject matter which of course is very important.

So I shall concentrate on the 'New Manager' and NOT respond to any 'Anti-Willo' hogwash on here.
Doesn't sound like an 'Attention seeker' does it ?
