Far more exciting than 'Compaaaaact' Roy Hodgson. More than happy, assuming the paperwork goes through; not just with him but how the board have gone about the appointment after the Nuno shambles. Palace of old would have panicked and brought the first available 2nd choice in. His style of play will fit our squad and he’s known to be good at bringing youth through. Given the investment in and output of our Academy, that’s really a good fit. We’ve also got a load of players out of contract so he’ll hopefully get rid of the dirge, extend some of the valuable players’ terms and bring some new faces in so it’s a gradual change not a sudden overhaul. His track record shows a good win ratio and given our managers over the last few years (Holloway, Pulis, Pardew, De Boer, Large Samuel and my Nan), it’ll be nice to see decent football and a manager who’s not a complete balloon. It’s been an either/or/neither since we came back up in 2013. Anyway, van Aanholt’s leaving so when that’s confirmed I’m going on a dead Thatcher-level bender.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2021 I love that Palace can appoint a 63-year old manager and he's a decade younger than the previous incumbent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) They started with Poch, anyone else will be a let down now won’t they? I thought Nuno was a top manager in the making but he transformed in to Roy Hodgson this season. Obviously having your top striker out doesn’t help but they have some exciting attacking players. He’d be a better fit for Everton I think, now they’ve soullessly used Rafa’s excellent name to lower expectations.

He is a top manager though, and last season was hugely affected by the loss of not only Raul, but Jonny too and also Boly suffering from Long Covid. We were in and about the top six and playing really well until that thug purposely headbutted Jimenez's skull in two. He was apparently affected by not having his family all season as they stay in Portugal and neither could visit the other. I feel sorry for Nuno, he's just had his house build finished and just donated a quarter of a million to feeding Wolverhampton's poorer areas (imagine them!!!!) Then gets sacked. I can see him getting the Portugal job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’d started next season how he ended this one he would have been sacked early on and tainted. At least he has legitimate reasons for the dirge his team served up last season and his reputation is somewhat intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't leave ... He was sacked, but yes it suits both parties in a way. Although you see those he was rumoured to go to, especially Everton and Spurs, and they've opposed the idea because they only remember that awful football Nuno served up last year.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2021 The Guardian's Ed Aarons reporting that Favre has changed his mind on the Palace job. At this rate, Everton, Spurs and Palace will win a trophy before they find a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
