Well put Meggo, couldn't have said it better myself. You can also add Alonso, Sordell, Andrews and even Knight to that list. This guy just has zero presence to me and will never build a harmonious squad. He's decisive, petulant and arrogant and those things alone will mean he'll never be successful. I'll ask again, why exactly was it that with Palace flying high the club weren't planning to extend his contract and made no attempt to stop him from coming here? Clearly they knew what a waste of space he was and sadly now we're confirming it. Gone by Christmas with bait of luck then we can actually get back to repairing the damage he's done.

Coyles man management ? Don't make me laugh !! It was a feckin free for all do as you like holiday camp !! There's a huge difference whites between being a well liked nice guy and successful man management. Direction, discipline, tough decisions and stern man management were needed following our wembley humiliation. That's when coyle was found out big time ! He was clueless, way out of his depth and lacking in absolutely everything needed to pull a team through bad times. What you see happening now with Df are disciplined decisions, direction and a short and long term plan. He's settled the place down, weeded out the shite and disinterested, for the first time in years we've done business early and he's started to rebuild the place under financial conditions most managers would have run a mile from. . RTF you really have to sort this site out. some of these accounts are being hacked far too easily. surely only DF's agent could have come up with that load of twaddle. weeded out the *****..he doesn't do that....he appoints them Captain !! . i totally agree with Whites, OC's man management was definitely a strong point. not perfect but way better than DF. it did grate when he went overboard positive on everybody, but you'd certainly want to play for him. OC never slagged Megsons signings. he talks them UP whether he wants them or wants them out. DF talks 'em down ...then wonders why the hell he can't shift them . he's fell out with Eagles..fell out with Mears. fell out with SKD. fell out with his own signings..Craig Davies. CYL looks thoroughly unimpressed at being played left wing half the time when he does well playing right wing for his country, yet he brings Feeney in and immediately plays him right wing and drops his inverted wingers policy..charming ! . now if reports are true, he's fell out with another of his own signings Baptiste. the likes of Sturridge & Wilshere would happily give testimony to OC's help..talking them up...believing in them. i'm not PL obssessed. i don't care if we finish 1st or 19th. if we're signing the best players for our budget and the manager is getting the most out of the players, you can't complain after that. but IMO that latter bit is nowhere near true at the mo. You might be right there meggers as BTID's are rarely longer than one line. As for your comment Whitesince63, I agree, but I look at it from another angle, why would Freedman leave a club on the verge of promotion to join a club in dire financial straits and a squad that he's since broken up, signed countless extra players either permanently or on loan. To my mind this seriously calls his judgement into question. Why would he take a step down??? I think he jumped before he was pushed, and probably got a pay rise into the bargain.

There is nothing that even remotely points to the dribble that Df was about to get sacked ! BTID I don't have access to the papers of the time now but it was common knowledge and widely reported that the Palace Chairman wasn't renewing Freedman's contract so how you couldn't know that with your encyclopaedic knowledge of all things football surprises me but then maybe you just choose to ignore it to suit your purposes. Hopefully the process will be repeated next year and we can see the back of this arrogant, useless idiot when he proves he's a failure.

It just shows how amazing I am making such an impact with so few words ;-)))) Speaking of those that love small talk where's AndyL these days ? Lolhaha..i think AndyL is a bit miffed with the star ratings on this forum. in just 2 or 3 posts he clocks up more "word count" than your 800+ BTID . i agree with Whites & RTF's questioning of Df's move from Palace. whether he was under pressure or not, either way, it doesn't say much for his judgement. if it wasn't a forced move, all the more reason for DF to do his "due diligence". don't take the job then moan afterwards. scout out all the info & make sure you know what your committing too. FFP & our debt were well known facts. it's not as if he's leaving a basket case ..desperate to leave, he left a team doing quite well, in the top half..albeit after only 11 games & he'd managed to lose 3 in a row i think in those. & the squad here was there for all to judge. OC made a few gaffes & even despite that & lack of defensive work on training ground, we'd still took it to til the last day in the Prem getting 36 pt's ( without Stu & Cyl..our previous POTY for last 2 yr's ) . in comparison, the season after... QPR only got 25 pt's. they had 4 wins all season ..4 ffs. we had 10 wins when we went down. they were sunk, dead & buried well before the end of the season.. .yet they've turned it round . they weren't always great this season, but they have been competitive at least, up in top 6. as bad as our relegation was for us, it puts ours into perspective.
