Lets hope he isn't reading this thread!

I keep thinking of:

'Frank de Boer's a Dutchman and he wears an orange hat'

Haven't thought of any further lines yet!

I do hope you are not forgetting Lombardo with the help of the mercurial Brolin........

From what I read Frank is very good at organising defences and doesn't just play open football.

Read this article I keep posting: [Link]

Talks about how he's brought through and improved many players:

Jan Vertonghen, Vurnon Anita, Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld, Siem de Jong, Daley Blind, Jasper Cillessen and Arkadiusz Milik: there is a long list of players who De Boer improved at Ajax and sold on for big money.

Includes very good defenders and keepers. I think we're gonna be in good hands. Let's not forget he's a defend by trade.

Link also talks about how Ajax was a mess when he took over, they hadn't won anything in 6 years. He then brought through young players and they went on to win 4 titles.

I think he'll be a perfect fit for where Sam left us and Palaces style.

Hugely excited!

(Sorry if I've bitched at anyone.)

Sounds like one of Lenin/Mao aphorisms to me - can't wait for the Palace Great Leap Forward!

Seriously, does anyone in the club give a toss what we write on HOL, positive or negative? As someone else pointed out, negative opinions are part of being a footbal club supporter (including England...) and long predates the internet. I can remember whole matches with the crowd 'encouraging' Tommy Langley, Tony Cottee and later donkeys with some choice advice from the terraces...

I just laughed out loud in the office at that!
