It now appears that 'Parting company' with FDB has very little with the way Palace played (especially on Sunday)
But having met SP and DF on Aug 28th they were were underwhelmed and did not have any confidence in FDB going forwards.
Among the reasons for Palace's dissatisfaction were:
De Boer's apparent diversion from a number of agreements reached when he signed, such as the team's formation.
The squad's struggles to adapt to the style of play he tried to implement.
Poor feedback on planning, methods and sessions.
Atmosphere at the training ground.
His use of, and relationship with certain players, such as Damien Delaney, Martin Kelly, Joel Ward, Jairo Riedewald and Lee Chung-yong.
A perceived lack of input on transfer activity.

De Boer is understood to have been unhappy with factors including:
The pre-season schedule organised before his arrival.
The involvement of Parish in first-team matters.
The delay in signing defender Mamadou Sakho.

Why the relationship between FDB and everyone else appears to have broken down so early in his tenure is unbelievable, why FDB is querying the pre-season schedule is also a bit strange as well.
Player relationships well you would have thought FDB would have wanted to get the very best out everyone even if they might not be the very best of talent available in the Premiership.
Motivation, drive and team spirit can lift everyone to higher performance levels.
He clearly wasn't the manager we thought we were getting!
Maybe there is more to come out in this short sorry saga?

I think there is humour in the original remarks. Paradew had it wrong but Palace waited an age to get rid. FdB had it wrong and he was sacked far too early.
These two decision are so far apart, we can understand the bi-polar aspect of what is being suggested. What next for the new man? He must be desperate for a job to take on a position where he may get sacked tomorrow or after a season of doing it his way, or someone else's way or.....oh hell, what do we know? Utter confusion and muddled panic.So unlike the Parish we all know. Now there's a story there.....

FDB has got to be regarded as unlucky. There must have been more missed chances in the last 4 games than in 12 usually. Plus best players getting injured so quickly. Sacking after 4 games is ridiculous. I like Parish normally but I think since he had the Yanks on his back he is getting panicked into decisions.

Think you may be right and perhaps I had a SOH humour bypass last night...seems that there was much going on behind the scenes and the Burnley result prob didn't, make a difference either way....just seems ridiculous that Parish and the rest of the board could make such a poor choice after paying due diligence in offering Frank a three year contract....disappointing to say the least...and thanks for your measured response...and apologies Southampton Eagle if I missed the subtlety with your post....onwards and upwards...COYP

God, it makes me so angry....I am gonna find a little bloke... I'm gonna have a fight!
