Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
I wonder if we'll get the usual good run of form under the new manager? If we get 10 points in our next 4 games, I wouldn't be overly shocked and obviously delighted.

Barnsley

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
12 points from those games would be quite an achievement but who knows, beat cardiff and leicester in the home games(how long is it since we won 2 on the bounce) and who knows what might happen. At least there is now some hope for improvement. Had Coyle stayed we could easily have ended up bottom 3 after those 6 games. Still could I suppose.

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
If he gets 10 from those 6 games it'll be excellent.
Tough games. If we get 10 or so, it could be a springboard to get some momentum.
Just checked and Allardyce lost his first game in charge of us, drew the next, then won the next four. I'd take that......

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
Well, he's observed 2 games so should have some idea of where our weaknesses lie and do something to remedy them. Could be back to exciting times, but no good just winning a couple and losing a couple if we are to get back into the heady realms again. 

Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
No surprise there. Palace don't care about Bolton and their coaches are under contract and doing a job. They're not going to change that till they have a new structure in place.m_taylor wrote:http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... to-coaches

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
hope this isnt true... lol
In a dramatic late development last night Dougie Freedman revealed plans to raid Crystal Palace for their prize asset - their fans.
"We all know what quality the Palace fans bring to the party." said the fork-tongued Scot. "It's a bit quiet in Bolton so I thought if we transfer the Ultras to the Reebok it might inject some much-needed atmosphere into the place."
Freedman has already been linked with several Palace players but this audacious move sent shockwaves through South London. "What's next, the bloody Crystals?" asked one shocked fan, while another claimed to have already been approached about a big-money move to Lancashire.
"Dougie called me up and offered me as many whippets and flat caps as I wanted" he said. "Of course Palace refused permission for me to speak to Bolton and my job as a fan is only half-done so I'll be on the train to Bolton first thing in the morning to sign the deal."
Rumours that Pete & Alice were also set to join Freedman's new team were quashed by CPFC2010. In a statement, they said the mascot pair were "Palace through and through...until someone offers them a 3-year deal and a sack of cash. In which case, they're anybody's."
