Crystal Palace look to be moving towards another managerial change, and the broader picture is not flattering. According to iNews, Pierre Sage’s short reign has been shaped by confusion in the boardroom, recruitment failures and a defence that has unravelled at alarming speed.

The immediate trigger was Sunday’s 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle United. It was the kind of result that leaves little room for excuses. “The atmosphere was toxic, the fans had begun to turn” and, in a stadium like Selhurst Park, that matters.

Once the crowd senses drift, the job gets harder by the week. There is already a split around the club over how much blame should sit with Sage and how much belongs upstairs.
