Having read a few player autobiographies it is evident that whether you’re behind the manager or not as a player depends on whether he selects you.
It brings to mind when Ferguson changed his mind about retiring at Man Utd.
He had previously fallen out with Dwight Yorke and Yorke was hoping for a new start under a new manager.
When it was announced that Ferguson was in fact staying Roy Keane apparently turned to Yorke in the changing room and said,
‘That’s you f....ed Yorkie.’

I can imagine that the likes of Meyer, Sakho and Benteke may not be too happy with Roy at the moment, but players like Mcarthur, Ayew and Schlupp will be very happy with him.

Obsess much? Douchebag.

"Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

Who do we want in then? I'm a bit behind...is Ranieri available? Benetiz? Emery? Surely we should be looking at names like these?

Think it's time to be brave though. I'm in the minority here, but I would've even given FDB more time. Things were just showing signs of clicking when he got fired.

Dyche...not interested. Look at Burnley now. We might as well keep Hodgson.

Popovic isn't a bad shout. But you're right, lack of PL experience might count against him.

Michael Carrick?

'Be careful what you wish for' is a beguiling mantra. It's tantamount to saying that any change is likely to be for the worse. Why the pessimism? Given the manager's age, the only question is when he goes. He's not going to become a better manager, is he? Both Dyche and Howe should improve as managers. Why should they not?
It would be difficult to argue that Palace is going in the right direction since last season was resumed some eighteen games ago. It's impossible to quantify the case that Palace's relatively secure position with eight games left meant that the players were 'on the beach'.Those results do come into the reckoning about the health of the club.
It's simplistic to argue that it's all the manager's fault. But it's entirely reasonable to ask whether he is picking the right players and employing the correct tactics. I just cannot understand why at this stage of the season we are so unambitious. What's to lose if we set up in a more attacking format, especially against the likes of Burnley and Newcastle? If there were eight games left and we had thirty points it might be different. That's when you need the likes of McArthur. The performance against Brighton wouldn't have looked out of place in National League South.
Believe we can do better.

It's not libellous. Come on now.
Why insult everyone who disagrees with you?
