Filthy pig...here you go! XXX

Pierre Sage, the former Lens and Lyon coach, is already growing frustrated behind the scenes at Crystal Palace!

The manager is quite dissatisfied with the board's work during the transfer window.

Palace has reportedly been signing players not necessarily requested by Sage, while failing to make offers for athletes the manager wanted in his squad.

One particularly frustrating instance involved Malick Fofana, a player Sage had previously managed at Lyon.

The manager personally contacted the player to try to convince him to join Palace, highlighting the prospect of playing in European competitions, his tactical vision, and life in London. Ultimately, however, Fofana chose Sunderland.

On the final day of the window, Crystal Palace did sign Ben Chilwell, Quinten Timber, Dario Osorio, and Honest Ahanor. It remains to be seen whether these new signings will be enough to appease Pierre Sage.

🚨🚨 Pierre Sage, former coach of Lens and Lyon, is already starting to get irritated behind the scenes at Crystal Palace!

The coach is quite dissatisfied with the board's work during the transfer window.

Palace would be signing players who are not necessarily requested by Sage, while failing to make offers for athletes that the coach would like to have in the squad.

One of the cases that bothered him the most was that of Malick Fofana, a former player under Sage at Lyon.

The coach himself contacted the player to try to convince him to join Palace, highlighting the chance to compete in European competitions, his playing project, and life in London. In the end, however, Fofana opted for Sunderland.

On the last day of the window, Crystal Palace still closed deals with Ben Chilwell, Quinten Timber, Dario Osorio, and Honest Ahanor. It remains to be seen if the new signings will be enough to calm Pierre Sage.

Lol oh dear!

That penultimate paragraph is particularly cutting. Type of thing to make a manager want a warm bath.
 
Think I might pretend to watch Burnley vs Boro. With particular emphasis on pretending to form an opinion on Lankshear…

That's a strange coincidence Bash as I was just going to pretend to watch the Charlton game to see how Bindon was shaping up. It's on via the red button but Sky seem to have changed the format you can still get the game but the picture is condensed into a smaller area of the screen with the rest devoted to stats etc. & I can't see a way of getting the picture full screen unless I'm missing something. Yet another "improvement" of the Sky service that is considerably worse than the original format

Stags are also on. Pretty slow at present.
 
Everything online suggests that he has been bought by Oly but with an agreement to move to Forest next season.

Since found out via internet that pressing the back button gets full picture I'm sure I tried it first time & nothing happened looks as if it just takes time to respond to the button press
