Could literally watch that goal over and over and over
Oh, hang on, I have
;biggrin
This is what I don't like about Allardyce. His biggest concern seems to be tarnishing his reputation, rather than the fate of the team he's managing.
Bilic has his faults as a manager, but he seems to have a genuine affection for the clubs he manages and I can never see him saying anything like this.
He also specifically says he doesn't care if he gets sacked, but he cares about trying to help the club get out of trouble.
If Bilic said that, I'd be quite happy.
He could have said "I want to keep Palace up and maintain my record" but he put his record first.
All about interpretation though ;ok
Him keeping his unblemished record is completely aligned with the club's objectives so it doesn't really matter too much
PS I will miss Payet, be honest we all will, but I'll get over it. Quickly.
Not worried about his job - check
And of not wanting to blemish my record AND getting Palace out of trouble
Seriously, what is the problem?
I saw his post match interview where he said WHU were the better side in the last 20 minutes (of a close game), but no everyone focuses on the fact he said CP should've done more to stop the 3 goals. Which any Manager will analyse especially a pragmatic ex-defender
It's truly amazing to see what people focus on
Allardyce has always struck me as the kind of person that puts himself ahead of anything else. Just look at what happened with the England job.
His comments above suggested to me that his primary concern is not tarnishing his reputation of never being relegated, with keeping Palace up of secondary importance.
As I said to Mrs G, it's all about interpretation.
On the post match presser manager waffle did any of you notice that Pep and Jose said the self same thing about the opposition, game and tactics.
I don't read much into what they say 'cause it's often at odds with what I just watched.
;lol
I will always be grateful for the work he did with us, from where we were when he came to where we were when we left.
He's part of our history and one where we moved "up", so for that "thanks".
(even if you did cause the biggest divide in the history of our fanbase ;biggrin )
Surprised Twist isn't selling the Payet cookies right now ;puzzled
Now available...
Hopeful all will be fit (Reid, Byram had knocks, AC had whiplash but trained OK on Tuesday).
