Got to feel for him a bit....no doubt by hodgson's first game he'll have Sakho and Zaha available, two key figures from last year.
Still, he'll get a nice bit of compo from it.

Appalling yes, but not sackable given the circumstances.
The decision to sack a new manager who they asked to overhaul the entire playing style of a perennial relegation-candidate club without backing him in the transfer market, and who delivered a markedly improved performance in his last game that everyone agreed looked promising for them, that's truly appalling.
Four games FFS!

To be fair De Boer took over a relegation side, Palace are not a premier league side they are a club that made it to the premier league but haven't consolidated that position, every year they are relegation candidates.
Palace have poor players most of whom are not able to learn and play how De Boer wants them to so he was on a hiding for nothing.
That said it does make you wonder if he hadn't won the confidence of the players, or maybe the board just realised that he couldn't do what he wanted to do with the players they had at the club and it is easier to get rid of the manager than ten players.
Not a bad deal though, three years money for four weeks work.
From our point of view, bullet dodged, kudos to Southampton for dismantling Pochottino's south coast project at the perfect time.

There is a lesson in this for managers abroad looking at PL tenures. What's really the only big difference between Koeman, de Boer and Solskjær (at Cardiff a couple of years back?). Koeman chose the right PL opportunity, as opposed to choosing any PL opportunity.

De boer sacked with Roy Hodgson set to take over. I don't think anyone should be sacked after 4 league games no matter how bad it's been
EDIT. I didnt see this thread so created a new one and it's been merged. Just so I don't look like I'm really late to the party

What a joke. They pretty much smashed Burnley in every department yesterday and but for one moment of Tom- fuckery would have got at least a point.
Certainly played better against Burnley than we did.
I bet chun y l is feeling like a million yen today...(by all rights he should really get 10% of De Boers payoff)

It does look like they had Hodgson already lined up win or lose yesterday.

Brought in for a long term project, then sacked after 5 games... What a joke.
I think De Boer's problems have more to do with his choice of clubs than his methods and vision as such...

I think he was brought in at Inter very late so didn't have a pre-season with the players and didn't get to bring his own players in.
It does seem ridiculous that he was brought in to Palace to change their playing style, but wasn't given the time or the players to implement that style. I think the chairman's just realized how much it will cost to bring in the players they would need and decided it will be cheaper to press the reset button than follow through with the plan.

Haha De Boer must look on at Peter Bosz with some envy. de Boer manages Ajac for 6 years, wins 4 Eredivisie's and qualifies for the CL before resigning, then signs on at Inter and has a torrid time, before getting sacked 4 games into his tenure with Crystal fucking Palace. Bosz, meanwhile, manages one season at Ajax where they finish 2nd to Feyenoord and don't qualify for the CL group stage and he gets a plum job at Dortmund.

Palace have soton away, city away, utd away and Chelsea at home in their next 4 games. Will they sack Hodgson when he fails to get anything from these matches?
May as well have given de boer the chance to try implement his style over another 4 games when they aren't expected to win

Yes.
They are aiming to have had more managers than points at the end of the season.
In all seriousness there should be a limit to the amount of managers/coaches one team is allowed in a season, I think 3 is more than enough.

Naturally we don't know what ent on behind the scenes. But essentially they hired him to look over a long-term overhaul then fired him straight away.
Whether it was a poor appointment or they have not given him time the board have to take bulk of the responsibility here.

A few years ago I wanted him at Spurs!
First Milan now Palace!
What a lucky escape!
