I said a Frank de Boer appointment has got relegation written all over it before we hired Puel. He's not the right fit for a lot of clubs, especially Palace. It takes more than two months to instil a football philosophy. FDB will try to renovate sides but managers are never given enough time at Premier League clubs to do so. Strangely, Palace looked very good yesterday but just couldn't score – and a terrible back pass cost him his job.

Been a while (thankfully for some lol) but we are not getting Hoedt or anyone in the next two weeks. Wish I was wrong. And mega concerned about our new owners. See you laters.

The straw that broke the camel's back for me. Bye.

You come across very bitter in a lot of your posts.

Football has changed, Franny. What you've written is all fairy tale stuff. Players are bigger than clubs these days, and the Neymar farce hasn't helped things one bit. The VVD situation is now toxic and won't be resolved unless he goes unfortunately. He won't play for us again. If this doesn't go his way, he will refuse to play.

It's the internet lad. Calm down.... calm down.

Why is anyone surprised? Bye bye VVD, you won't be missed and we won't need you.

VVD take note http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/10974783/riyad-mahrez-keen-to-finalise-move-from-leicester-this-month

Sisu- in before someone mentions it for the 2000th time this summer.

It's an opinion piece - not an article. And don't trust anything you read that nicks Getty images without paying.

Eh? Just trying to be light-hearted in contributing to the forum mate. It's actually quite funny that I suggested him considering he's just gone to Arsenal for mega bucks!

So what you're saying is VVD will put the effort in, home and away?

Absolutely spot on. Get him out asap.

Can this still happen?

I don't even think it was about the money. Villa over Ipswich is a no brainer for any footballer, even if Ipswich were enjoying their best form in decades.

t Yeah, think so. May have been down to Ince and Batty missing penalties.

Loooooooolll!!

Loooooooolll!!!

Believe what you want to believe.

Just get him out of the club now.

Bet that little lad will be returning his Rudiger shirt.

I'm just going to leave this here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8186241.stm

He doesn't want to play for saints mate, simple. What's the point of letting him rot? Get rid asap.

Agree - move on, prosper. VVD what's the point in getting angry. Let him go, get someone in who wants to play. Simple.
