This is the big issue. Regardless of the merits of sacking Sage, to think there are half a dozen squads inferior to the #cpfc underlines why the recruitment has been underwhelming. They think what they have is better than it actually is.
Feeling from within the #CPFC hierarchy is that their squad is better than at least half a dozen others and therefore should not be bottom of the table.

Based on numbers we have built a deeper squad… but it’s all cheap so doesn’t help much🤣
🚨Palace learnt from last summer's mistakes. Squad was under-equipped for PL & Conf League (latter prioritised).
They need deeper squad for Europa League: targeting CB, CM & No.10 regardless of outgoings.

Guessand also idc what anyone says he was handy at times last season. The way he’s been frozen out doesn’t look great on Sage

Anyone who thinks a drop to the championship would be a “reset” needs to give their head a wobble. We’ll still have a threadbare squad, with the big earners and talent sold, and theres not a group of youngsters knocking on the door. Have to do everything to remain here.

So can someone tell me the difference between this challenge and Mateta's red card?
Can't wait to hear the reasoning #CPFC

(Apologies for a rare long post)
I worked in professional sports for nearly a decade. Because of that, I hate calling for people to be sacked. I understand that sacking the manager doesn’t simply affect the manager. It affects his family. It affects his staff. It affects everyone working under him. Plus their families.
I was a Strength & Conditioning Coach. I could’ve been the best in the world at my job, but if results were poor, I’d be sacked.
Before you say, “they’re compensated financially for this” .. I can assure you that guys like me & other lower assistants didn’t get paid handsomely. We constantly feared for our jobs & knew it was out of our control.
Knowing this, I’ll always be reluctant to suggest a manager is sacked. That being said, I think that Sage is gone. He isn’t free of guilt, but he isn’t 100% at fault either. Like most things in life, the truth lies in the shades of gray.
I’m as upset as the rest of us. Sitting 20th, we literally couldn’t have performed worse so far. But I implore all to show compassion & understand the human element here. Sage could’ve done more, but this has been the result of a 12 month rot that’s existed at our club.
Let’s hope we can fix this. Always optimistic!

Obviously not having JP for prolonged periods & who knows what's happening with Sarr is really not helping our Manager at the moment! 😕 A guy who scored 20 goals last season just doesn't appear to be contributing any time soon which is really disappointing all round. #cpfc

Yea he wins the ball but this follow through is dangerous. It’s a red card. It’s a red card if it’s a Palace playing making the challenge.
For some reason, they don’t even check it. Just brush it off as ‘unfortunate.’ #cpfc
