It’s amazing how the Kenwright and subsequent years have not only infected subsequent owners and boards to accept sh1te as the ‘norm’ but has also infected some portions of the supporter base. They say it’s being practical and progress takes... -
It just shows the mentality they have compared to us. He won them the league last season and is sacked after getting knocked out of the CL in the quarters against the winners and making the champions league again. Whereas we got knocked early in...

smileychap replied to the thread 2025/26 David Moyes.We were hopeful yes, but because of the opportunity offered by the flat table and what probably felt like a third throw of the dice after a scrappy season start, missed cups and sticky Jan period and struggles post afcon. But clearly what Moyes...

The alarm bells are ringing because that's what he does. Any time we look like progressing he reverts to type and craps himself. He's not going to change now. So the question is whether people are happy to just sit there and spin our wheels or...

smileychap replied to the thread 2025/26 David Moyes.Yeah agree, our season didn't end only in the poor run in. Slow start ( classic Moyes )... After a poor summer... ( no FB's, costly gamble on Jack ) Poor use of subs throughput Dodgy mid-season and struggle of form of Ndiaye around AFCON...

100% yes. We need income to compete. -
But becoming less relevant every time a ‘small’ club gets a foothold. We need to sort it out. Appointing carlo was the last time we made people take notice, we need a decent manager and proper football.

About £3.5M by my reckoning.

Tarks and Keane need to ride the bench. Need another solid Centre Back as Branthwaite is chronically injured. But my starting pair should be O’Brien and Branthwaite. Then work on some attacking full backs who can cross into the box.

Two actual modern attacking full backs and refuse any players that have been associated with a recent relegation would be a good start

No mate, it's reverting to, in part, something similar to what worked in Moyes' first 6months, before he scrapped it and relied on hoofing it to either Grealish or O'Brien, which didn't work. Utilising the players he brought in whilst...

This is why it's mad to stay with him. Glasner has won basically everywhere he;s been. Same trophy as Moyes, sure, but he won it after winning the FA cup, winning the Charity Shield (I'd care), he's won abroad. I dunno, I think he'd be sensible.

What are Palace doing. Playing lots of their better players in cup competitions

Someone needs to tell Palace to slow down, all that stability is winning too many trophies for them!!!!
