And some think our fans are impatient.

I dunno. That's the way it goes in football nowadays. Look at what happened to Ranieri, he was viewed as a miracle maker and became an instant legend -8 months later he was as dead as the dodo.
De Boer is said to be pretty arrogant, when he landed in Italy he had just won 3 Dutch leagues in a row and provoked the local media with stuff like "I don't need to adapt to Italian football, Italian football will just have to adapt to me." Before he was sacked by Inter, results were real bad and he was still going "this is me, I've nothing to prove, take it or leave it." And well the owners eventually went "erm, we'll leave it, then. Thanks for your time."
Maybe he was being the same at Palace... All I can say is signing Mamadou Sakho for £26 million when you don't have that much cash to spare doesn't seem like the greatest move ever -and that's some kind of an understatement.

Sounds like Dave 'like it or lump it, this club has been doing it all wrong for 10 years' Jones.

The whole situation is farcical. Palace hired De Boer knowing exactly what he's about, and yet they've expected him to get results while only affording him just four additions to a Sam Allardyce squad. I feel really sorry for the bloke. Bet he was promised a lot more when accepting the job.

Its mental ! but probably the decision to give him the job in the first place was more mental

Were their fans taking the piss out of his weight and hair an all?
