I actually think Igor is quite good. Remember a time when people were saying Solly March was crap?
Igor has really good qualities but maybe not the right system / manager after all.
Not much we can do about Dahoud not settling. Unlucky there. But he showed moments of quality.
Fati, for me...
I came here to say this.
Controversial opinion but I think Goodnight is quite crap and gives me Forrestieri vibes. If one of the few outs is him and we sign a better alt we will be considerably stronger.
The opposite Imo.
If he does well he leaves, if he does badly his legacy is ruined.
Aside from all the saltiness from the Chelsea switch, he is a massive success here.
Coming back is lose/lose.
Part of any rebrand we do now, I really hope, involves pace. As such maybe so. There can be a place for Pas but we have been very laboured in transition for a long time. One of the things I hope the next manager addresses in this, with or without Pas.
Well done Palace. Glasner absolute quality. No complaints here. Sensational stuff.
Hopefully we find a bit of stability next season. Palace looking on fire.
I don’t think RDZ was secretly sacked. Not sure why ppl think this.
It’s clear he wanted to leave / didn’t fancy the challenge any more and the board aren’t going to cave in on his demands. No reason that to think any think other than what we’ve been told. A mutual agreement. We don’t have to...
Not sure. IMO the epitome of mutual. He may have wanted X wages and X transfer funds for next season.
At Bayern he can have that. At Brighton he can’t. Pleased bloom didn’t budge. In all honesty Idc if we go down. I do care if we end up broke and a joke like Everton, Leeds (ucl semi to...
You may well be right. We are certainly at the top of a recent arc. Whether we plummet back to L1 or do anything like that I’m not sure. There’s no denying there is a ceiling for clubs like us. Chelsea have proven there is a hierarchy and a market. We’re a selling club.
Just posted this is the other thread but more apt here.
Yeah, off to Bayern. Thanks for the memories. Big send off tomorrow please. Beat United and look upwards.
“He understands what our limitations are. Behind the scenes, our model is very well known to him. We won’t break that model for...

He was never staying.
The cost of keeping RDZ is high.
- Wages
- Transfer promises to him
- FFP for failing to deliver on any of the promises from him.
He can up and leave. We get shafted.
I’m keen for him to stay but it’s easy to make unrealistic demands and use it as a reason for forcing a move. If he stays I...
I probably dislike football more with VAR but it’ll be unwatchable if it’s taken away now. I just cbf with it.
Diving will be off the hook. The offside conversation will be even more frustrating. Off the ball incidents etc.
Keep it but make it work and employ competent officials. The Spurs v...
Feel like the recent change of tune is just a PR move to make good before leaving. No one will want the overriding memory of RDZ to be one of a petulant quitter. A bit of a PR zhuzh will help, then leave for Bayern. Those rumours seem to be getting more and more substance.
I think our football...
