Sad to see Holloway go, not sure whether I appreciate his honesty in saying he and the board got it wrong, and admiring him for leaving them enough time to try and turn it around, or to wonder how he and the board got it so wrong, in terms of player selection and transfer acumen.
Though was listening to the football weekly podcast on monday and Phillipe Auclair had some inside skinny on palace, by saying their big plan was to buy the best players from the championship but that all the selling clubs added on the british player premium, so they were looking at stewart downing/jordan henderson sums for players who hadn't shown they were premier league class.
Also Palace fans need to wind in their necks, they just made it into the promised land of the premiership and no one before the beginning of the season thought they would stay up. Why barrack the players and the manager for trying to attack and trying to play football and being beaten by "better" teams, there's no disgrace in that. Best to remember not so long ago they were on the verge of administration if they were relegated and to look for the club to use the money from what seems to be this ill fated tenure in the top flight to stabilise their finances, and to go back to the championship a stronger, wealthier club, and be more prepared for when they make it back the next time..
