It's clear. Townsend's mum was a better coach than Roy

When Townsend joined us, he was selected for England, by Hodgson, ahead of Zaha who was completely shut out. After, 4 years of Royball everyone thought he was wash up and failed.

A good gauge of a Managers ability is how well the team/players do after the manager leaves. Palace are playing better, Townsend is playing better. Liverpool, West Brom, and England also improved after he left.

As for "not having the resources" he was offerred Gallagher and selected Batshuayi.

Of course that's utter baloney.
Naturally Palace are playing better , they have better players now.
They've spent more money in a month, than Roy had to spend in all the time he was at Palace.
And as I mentioned previously, without Roy managing our very under par squad, we would currently be in the Championship or worse.

PV himself said when interviewed after the game Saturday that Roy laid the solid defensive foundations from which he has been able to build from. Said we would not be this far forward in our transition if not for the work Roy had done. We dont have tens of millions to build a solid defence/midfield. We had to look for bargains and drill them while making even our attacking players disciplined when it comes to defensive duties.
Townsend does score the odd belter but does not do it anywhere near enough. Thats not just at Palace, thats everywhere he has been.
Olise and Eze's wages combined dont match what we were paying Townsend so for financial reasons alone I'm glad he has gone. Was a good player for Palace but not getting any younger and was a high earner that the club needed to kick into touch.

He was hardly a goal scoring machine under Roy was he? I think one season he scored 4?? Wilf in any side will weigh in with between 5-10 goals a season due to his natural ability and that was roughly his numbers every season with RH in charge.

To try and suggest he flourished under Roy is to funny. The Wilf we saw on Saturday was the real Wilf. One we haven't seen for a long time. I think his post match comments sum up his frustrations on our style of football over the last few years.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

"one season he scored four", what are you talking about ?
You clearly need to do a bit of research.

When a team gets at them I can see Everton struggling a little. They will get found out on the counter attack and have yet to face a top team. I'm pleased for AT who always has a worldy in him but he will not be allowed the space as the season progresses and will fall foul of the Everton fans if he goes missing for them as he did for us last year. Still a cracking goal.
