It's a De Boer so I thoroughly approve of Palace's decision. |

Bilic and Koeman new favorites for the sack. The games gone crazy. |

Given the players at Palace, De Boer was a mental appointment in the first place. |

He deserved the sack because highly paid professional footballers couldn't and wouldn't follow their manager's instruction to play a style of football which wasn't the route one dinosaur stuff they're used to? ![]() Have no love for De Boer and eff him and his EBT, but in the scenario you paint he isn't the one who should be losing his job there. |

You can easily flip that- if a highly paid manager can't figure out an appropriate formation for the league and players he has, and just unthinkingly goes back to the stuff he's used to, then he isn't much use... In real life, for a normal job, I'd agree with you. But at the highest level football management is a big money job partly because getting fired for failure is a guarantee. The players have worked with him for two months. If they have already lost faith in the manager's ability and tactics then the manager has failed in his job, irrespective of how much other blame goes to players (and I don't think the Crystal Palace squad has any reputation for unprofessionalism). It's the manager's job to get them to believe in him. And since it was the players who demanded the 4 at the back formation that led to by far their best performance of the season, why would you respect or continue to employ a manager who demonstrably understands less about EPL tactics than the players? |

Why would you hire him in the first place? I doubt any heads will roll in the Palace boardroom over this. |

de boer was completely the wrong appointment so there was little point in carrying on with him. the major mistake was giving him the job in the first place. hes now had a disastrous 4 seasons |

An Everton supporting mate, who is usually fairly on the ball, tells me that all is not well at Goodison. |

I'm so glad the EPL invented football. Otherwise what else would we be talking about on here? |

Strange thing to be annoyed about from big Chris. If you were going to sack a manager or even thought about it surely you'd take a look around to see what's available? |
