He's on about Pellegrino and not Pellegrini On Pellegrino, he's highly thought of and has had some very impressive results with his football teams. The only blight so far on that path was his brief time at Valencia which was strange. But then again that occurred to Koeman when he went there which isn't surprising in reality as it's a club that's been in turmoil for far too long.
Dave Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Now we're distancing ourselves from these reports. Balons comments about Ajax have made me think twice about this appointment. Our coaching staff have been given a lot of credit by the likes of Townsend, Cabaye, Van Aahnolt etc for the impact they've made on there games so it would be a shame to lose them.
Panna King Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 De Boer is nothing without his coaching team, Bergkamp and Spijkerman. De Boer has fallen out with them and will probably come with his new assistant Orlando Trustful.
The Liquidator Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Would be an interesting appointment after the De Boer brand took a pasting in Italy. The only question I would ask on him would be Palace are saying they want someone who sticks around for a while after having one of the hottest manager seats in the premier league. De Boer strikes me as someone who might use a club of Palace stature as a stepping stone back to the size of club he had in Italy?

That's all managers though isn't it? Anybody with any ambition is looking to use 'smaller' clubs as a step towards 'bigger' ones.
The Liquidator Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Just now, Large said: That's all managers though isn't it? Anybody with any ambition is looking to use 'smaller' clubs as a step towards 'bigger' ones. Yep, extremely well made point Large

Well anybody who took over that Inter Milan team would be up for a pasting, everyone in Holland said he shouldn't go for it but he wouldn't to prove people wrong. The fact his style is completely the opposite of Inter Milan and Italian football it was never going to work, The Premier League or Spain is the best place for De Boer but there is also the fact of the coaching team, I have said before there were many factors at Ajax what made him successful, it wasn't down to just him.

The likes of Ronaldo, Bale and Suarez have shown that every English club is a stepping stone for someone else. It's extremely naive to think that we could attract a Manager that could set up a legacy. One of our clubs biggest heros and most loyal players became Manager and used us as a stepping stone for Bolton for fucks sake.

There is alot of truth in what you say VanPanna. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to talk down De Boer or paint him as a poor manager. I actually would like to see him take over at Palace as I think he has a bit about him in the hot seat. My worry is he wont stick around too long, but as Large pointed out, that can be pointed towards almost all up n coming managers.
Dave Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I'm more concerned after hearing an interview with Ronald DeBoer. He's said that Frank believes in possession based football where you carry the ball forwards, and even if he loses four games in a row Frank won't change his methods because he knows he's right. Given the only central player I can think of that can carry the ball forward is Puncheon we could be in real trouble. Our teams success on the last four years has come from playing counter attacking football. If he doesn't adjust at first we could be regretting not going for Roy Hodgson.
Panna King Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 De Boer will fail because he wont be able to play the type of brand at Crystal Palace he wants. They don't have the players for it plus he only has a small transfer budget.
