Goal of the season but no doubt Rooney will win it with a tap in from 5 yards.
As for Holloway, I can never understand why owners suddenly want to sack a manager who got them promoted only 4 months ago, as Nat says what did Palace expect him to do with that set of players?

I have to agree with this.aaron_bwfc wrote:As for Holloway, I can never understand why owners suddenly want to sack a manager who got them promoted only 4 months ago, as Nat says what did Palace expect him to do with that set of players?
Did Holloway spend much in the transfer window after coming up to the Prem?

Didn't he try to tap up Baptiste before the season started.

I feel a bit for Ollie. He's certainly a character. I don't think any manager can keep Palace up with their current crop of players. I hope he gets a job soon because I enjoy his post match interviews. Boro perhaps?

Apparently the reason why he left Blackpool and went to Crystal Palace was because he wanted to be closer to his family.Reebok Trotter wrote:I hope he gets a job soon because I enjoy his post match interviews. Boro perhaps?
I can't see him taking up the Boro job to be honest.

I have to say that I enjoy his post match interviews as well, he just says it how it is.

Reading did a similar thing last season. Newly promoted with a guy who got them out of the Championship, sacked him when they struggled, and still ended up in the Championship.
If you invest £50m when you get promoted then fine, expectations are high - but Palace haven't bought big, I'm assuming because there wasn't a lot of cash to spend or they didn't want to end up £135m in debt.
So what did they expect?

Exactly. that's one of the main reasons Dougie left them.Natasha Whittam wrote:Reading did a similar thing last season. Newly promoted with a guy who got them out of the Championship, sacked him when they struggled, and still ended up in the Championship.

They got a few bob for Zaha but looks like they didn't spend it.Natasha Whittam wrote:Reading did a similar thing last season. Newly promoted with a guy who got them out of the Championship, sacked him when they struggled, and still ended up in the Championship.

The problems go back to last season, they limped into the playoffs and there were murmurings there.
the piss poor start has just confirmed what they suspected.
he is a clown first a manager second.

He never got sacked, he approached the Chairman and said its not working, fair play to him.

Holloway is a decent guy, Hipster only hates him because he's a character. Hipster hates characters.
