His record in the 12 months he was with us was awful overall. We got promotion despite him not because of him. True, of course, that he wasn't great but I honestly think we would have choked under Freedman. Holloway got the job done and deserves his place in Palace history.

The team were on fire, but after hammering Ipswich at home and with his influence we got steadily worse. I was happy with his appointment but surprised to hear many of the Blackpool fans weren't too sorry to see him go, put it down to sour grapes ala Bristol City fans slagging Bolasie, but in fairness everything they said was right. He isn't a very good manager, just like us and Millwall fans went on to find out. Seems like a nice fella though and wish it would work out for him. He is talking of needing to spend in January, which means if QPR keep him until then they can look forward to about 25 more average players on their books very soon, mostly attacking players.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune) |

But, he still managed to get Blackpool and Palace promoted to the biggest league in the world. I think the Ipswich 5-0 was his first game in charge, pretty sure it was.

..he doesn't want other people to feel the hurt he feels, When things are going well he is over the top with jokes etc because everyone around him is happy with him, when it goes tits up he wants to hide under the carpet and get away from the not so nice comments. literally sounds like my bi polar mate
This was once a quality forum.... |

It was his first game in charge, but if you will recall he had only just arrived and admitted he had little or no influence on the team, that was my point. Once he started to it got worse. I'm not at all surprised you rated him. Edited by cpfc1976 (28 Dec 2016 7.21am)

I know it is all in the past but pretty outrageous if you ask me. Not so much reacting to the sacked chant but saying he never meant to take us up just confirmed what I thought at the time that he was never ready for it. Makes us look a bit silly though! I hear the sound of a giant whooooooooooosh

Garbage manager, he'll be sacked by the end of January.
The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |
