PARROTHEAD Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Fans paid to put this banner up last week. lol Quote The banner - which reads 'In Frank We Trust. Then. Now. Forever' - was made at short notice last week after fans moved to raise more than £1,000. Not seeing it atm. Anyone know Franks buyout? Want to see how it adds to the list.

Ive seen a few Chelsea fans say he should have never been hired in the first place and are thrilled. Others upset he wasnt given more time. Real mixed bag.

Tactically not good enough and man management not good enough either it appears too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised he had to accept a job in China. With no "at risk" squads like Nott Forest or Cardiff knocking down his door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a gamble to look at someone more progressive because, and no offence, Palace are batting a bit above their average in being where they are.

They didn't invest enough to expect better. So why expect better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace have the 7th highest payroll and weekly payout to players. They should be the biggest outside the top6. Roy is holding them back. They bring in the talent. But none are coached up to their fullest potential. Down in any game and Roy is on the side grinning away. The fight long gone out of him. Just going through the motions. 30+ million or more invested in their lineup than WHU, Villa, Southampton. Roy is killing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yeah I don't think Roy is ever the answer... Ron is correct in that Roy will do you a job and make your team disciplined and very 4-4-2ish, but after what he did with England, I'll never like him.

Especially over the last 2 or 3 seasons. Yes they have spent money on some forwards, but they have massively pulled back from competing in the transfer market. Now they have a lot of players out of contract in the summer. On the one hand this is good as it will drive the wage bill down to a more realistic level for a club of their stature. On the other it means they will have a huge turnover of players, which is notoriously difficult to achieve alongside a decent league finish. Whatever they do they will have to gamble. More of the same under Roy? When, assuming they stay up this season, he will have led them to their longest ever stay in the top division. Or a more exciting prospect?

Dont know much about the past few seasons. But looking at bad signings like Meyer and others that dont seem to be living up to their potential. Just has a feel to me they arnt pushed and are out there half the time sleepwalking. Zaha the only one looking like hes going full tilt. With Roy standing on the sideline grinning and doing nothing during matches. Anytime they go down a goal. Theres no real response at all. "Okay, we lost, lets zombie around the field the next 79 mins to get this over with." For me. Being LSU. Matches come off feeling like theyre coached by Les Miles. Can see the talent pieces, know the team has balance. And win a game here and there in spite of the coaching by talent alone. Cause if they had only spent the budget of Leeds or Southampton. I say theyd be battling Sheffield United for bottom spot. Give a guy like Sean Dyche this budget and team. And theyre Evertons equal.
