A few quotes from the Holmesdale.net message board. I particularly like the rhetorical question at the end of the last quote! : - )
"Disaster!"
"This the most ridiculous, underwhelming and crass decision ever made in the history of this football club."
"TWO YEARS? So he can ruin us and properly screw us over in the Championship. LOVELY"
"FFS...there are no other superlative in the English language that truly summarise how underwhelmed I am by this other than FFS... Why are we such a weird little club?"
Fair play, it's not often you meet a nigel who has a realistic impression of their club
To be fair to Colin, he did a good job there beforehand, before escaping to QPR who he took up. Not a long term appointment, but let's face it, most managers don't last more than a season nowadays!
Hmmm...so Pullis wins the prestigious manager of the year award (deservedly) whilst Colin messes about on Talkshit and can't get a job with any Champs league club, including us. Obviously there's a huge gulf between the two managers abilities. I think Palarse will struggle...hopefully go down.
Oh my god has anyone seen the sky sports news on the street interviewing palace fans. One bloke was like a comic book character, had one side of his top teeth missing and the opposite side on his bottom teeth missing. Hilarious.
I know he is not everyone's cup of tea and it's a strange appointment for me but I've always liked the bloke. He did a fly on the wall documentary with Sheff United a few years back which was excellent and his last book involving his time at palace, QPR and Leeds was very interesting.
It gets better. Shaun Derry will leave Notts Co. to take up a role on the coaching team with a view to him replacing Warnock in the long-term.
So, they have a manager in place that everyone knows is only there short-term. And a gopher who will automatically assume the manager's role in two years' time?

I'm surprised that Parish seems to be the one constantly in the limelight seeing as though he is only a part owner and had less financial clout at the beginning than the others. Sounds disillusioned with running a football club in that interview. Unfortunately I do think he is trying to secure Palaces long term future rather than gambling it all on staying in the PL
It's a team Pulis built on motivation and hard work, a Warnock expectation. Not as good as Pulis as he doesn't have the same tactical knowledge. Not the worst manager to come in but could certainly be better. Not going to feel happy until I know they are doomed.
Read a couple of comments on a forum and one saying 'worst thing to happen in recent history', i would have thought administration would have been worse, but seeing as how they shafted plenty of small business's and got out of it, i can see his point.

I don't see him keeping palace up tho.
"I can help out... If you need..."
"Not long left in the window, I've got contacts" etc
Cracking appointment. Shows that if you wait long enough in life, you really do get what you deserve!!
That's got success written all over it...
