So we judge silva on one game at selhurst, when in theory Swansea winning on that Saturday. Near enough put the nail in the coffin. He took over a hull side that was the worse on paper and gave it a fighting chance in the league. Had an impressive home record at hull. Had similar success abroad with olymkiakos. In not saying sack de Boer but surely parish knew we didn't have players for a possession game or was he asleep when pardew was in charge. Given the lack of funds at Palace. Surely would of made more sense, he knew when appointing big Sam successor the budget roughly. De Boer a good manager record at Ajax but you use the conveyor belt of youth that makes up 75% of Ajax side every season. Premier league is unforgiving league, I'm not for one minute think de Boer is bad appointment and saw a massive improvement today. Just wondering if others thought we missed a trick, not going for Marco silva. You clearly don't .

Fifield is, ultimately, a journalist looking to earn a few quid yet you'd take his hearsay over a categoric statement from the man involved?

I also don't get why Silva would have made perfect sense for us. The day we beat Hull 4-0 he showed absolutely no desire or ability to change anything. There was no sign of him trying to spur his team on or offer any real encouragement - the Hull fans we chatted with after felt the same way.

Not sure I'd want such a lack of leadership anywhere near my team.

All these ridiculous posts will look so stupid once we're up and running and clocking points.
