BREAKING NEWS: PALACE SACK DE BOER

CRYSTAL PALACE have sacked Frank de Boer.

de Boer lasted just FOUR Premier League games the last of which was yesterday's 1-0 defeat at Burnley the clubs 4th Premier League defeat in a row without scoring. Palace became the first team to lose their first four games without scoring a goal.

A Palace statement read the following:

It is understood that former Fulham, Liverpool, West Brom and England manager Roy Hodgson will be the man to replace de Boer at Palace within the next 24 hours.

de Boer now holds the record as the manager with the shortest ever reign Premier League reign with just four games. Les Reed at Charlton held the record with just 7 games in charge.

My View:

I watched the game yesterday and Palace were very unlucky, they had an absolute nightmare start and that pack bass was just an awful mistake. After that goal went in they became very nervous and were making a lot of mistakes but they held out and then were able to start creating chances themselves. They had 23 efforts yesterday but only 5 on target. 3 of their best chances fell to Dann and how he missed that header I have no clue! Sacking de Boer after only 4 games is appalling, yes they have had a bad start but there are a lot of encouraging sings. He was brought in to change the style of play and if you want to do that you have to be given time to do so and 4 games is no where near enough time. I feel for de Boer but football is a results business its a very harsh decision and hopefully we will see him back in the Premier League with another club. Where this takes Palace now if it is to be Roy Hodgson they its taking them back to where they were before FDB came in its a backward step for me.

EVERTON have sacked Sam Allardyce, with Marco Silva set to replace him at Goodison Park. Allardyce leaves Goodison after just 7 months in charge. Everton finished the season in 8th position in the Premier League table with 49 points, 12 fewer than they achieved last season.

Sacking Chris Hughton - Is it the right decision?

Another season has come to an end. This is the period where you will see managers come and go and players come in and depart clubs. The 2018/19 has now come to and end and Brighton finished in 17th place. I believe that if you had offered that to them most Brighton fans would have accepted a third successive season of Premier League football. Add onto that, The Seagulls also made the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Chris Hughton has paid the price for Brighton's poor form in 2019. This decision however, seems extremely harsh. Here is his overall record in charge of the club. Games: 215 Wins: 88 Draws: 57 Defeats: 70 That works out to a win percentage of around 40% that is not bad for a team that's budget is pennies compared to some in the Premier League. Brighton staying in the top flight is an achievement in its self and something that should not be looked over. Hughton took over at Brighton back in 2014 when the club was struggling at the bottom of t...

"All the dangers of Newcastle came from faults. The second half the reaction of the players and the physical state in the last 15 minutes was very good because we had the best chances to win the game" "Starting the season with a draw away against Newcastle isn't a bad result bur normally, if we play our level we win the game.
