Heard that. Ridiculous decision if you ask me. Even if they go down, financially they're in a great position and would've had a good manager with a proven track record of getting teams into the prem.
After letting him spend a lot of money they really should have just saw the season out. He's got a good record of getting teams promoted but less good at keeping them up. I think really it's probably down to over achievement in winning promotion in the first place. Palace weren't fancy last season and Blackpool weren't either when they went up.
He's an overrated manager, the team he took up was put together by Dougie Freedman and he almost cocked it up!
The anomaly, he did well to get them promoted, but truth be told any manager can get a team promoted from the championship by getting a decent group of players playing well at the right point in the season to get promoted, Keane, Boothroyd, Dowie etc the list is endless.
Compare his failures with his successes and it is very onesided, Plymouth, QPR, Leicester and to an extent Palace. He spent a lot of money whilst at Leicester and QPR and did nothing with them!
They were first when he took over and finished 5th, they won 1 of their final 10 games of the season, thats how they nearly cocked it up.
Im not saying that hes a bad manager, I said he was overated. He didnt build a promotion winning team he inherited it and just about finished the job.
Would you class 46 games in charge and a win % of 30% a successful spell?

as long as it aint our elvis I don't give a monkeys .Wonder how's gonna be brave enough to take on the Palace job. Poison chalice or what.
millwall.where is he now???
Holloway up to his old tricks again, struggling to work his "magic" at another club.
Looking like 3 of 4 to go down and Charlton with 3 games in hand and level on points, will need all of his "management" skills to get himself out of this prediciment
