Odds slashed on him in the last hour, favourite with Sky bet.

Very interesting thought posted over in the general 'next manager' discussion thread - Bergkamp has just been dismissed along with the entire management team over at Ajax.

What about De Boer with Bergkamp as assistant? Leon stays on the coaching staff, bet Mr. Frank would adore seeing some of his old, passing footage.


Would get my vote but (1) can't see our board signing off the cost & (2) they'd have to be up for staying if we go down & not sure I can see that either.

If he failed at Palace because they had the wrong players why does anyone think he will do better with ours?

Laudrup back with Leon assistant and Curtis back in the coaching would be amazing, but we'll have to pay to get Laudrup back.

Won 4 Dutch titles playing decent football at Ajax (the last time they won it)

Palace was the wrong team with the players he had (some could say them same about ours)

More importantly due to his Ajax connections would fuk John the Clog off.

A yes from me


The quality of football he produced at Ajax was heavily criticised in much the same way Clement's style was at Derby: slow, boring, overly cautious etc.

'The Dutchman's footballing philosophy centres on dominating the ball in the manner of his former clubs Ajax and Barcelona. In his final Eredivisie title-winning season in charge, Ajax averaged 60 per cent possession.

"Frank has always stood for his football to be attractive," said his twin brother Ronald recently. "He likes teams to be pressing high up and make sure that the ball most of the time stays on the ground, to hopefully have the ball quickly in the possession to try to score."

De Boer prefers to use a 4-3-3 formation in order to fulfil his high-pressing, short-passing tactics, and the off-the-ball work demands a strong team ethic. In that sense, he will take encouragement from the togetherness Palace demonstrated while achieving survival last season. For De Boer, the team is more important than any individual.

De Boer won plenty of admirers for the manner in which his youthful Ajax side won four consecutive Eredivisie titles between 2011 and 2014, but there was also criticism towards the end of his reign. De Boer's side continued to dominate possession, but their build-up play was often slow and unimaginative.

It was more reminiscent of Louis van Gaal than Johan Cruyff, and it led to criticism from his former assistant Dennis Bergkamp after he was sacked by Inter last year. "At times, it seems like he would play a positional game just because he liked positioning, as if the whole aim was to obtain the highest possible percentage of possession," Bergkamp told Santos magazine.

"I don't care much for that kind of football, it's football without any sense. You need to seek adventure. You need to have the courage to play football, the courage to take risks and not refuge yourself in a waiting kind of football."

I think reading that a De Boer / Bergkamp combo is out of the question

Well if it`s De Boer it may be a little late to install his style of play to keep us up hopefully he can pull it off, he`s going to have something to prove meaning he`ll be up for it big time, if we do then go down and at least we`ll be ready to give the championship a real go playing the style of football we all enjoyed.

I was a big supporter of bringing him in before that disaster at Palace. If we DO sign him it has to surely be long term with accepting relegation.


Didn't we say that last time?

Everything the club does is short term and doesn't address the key issues. Changing the manager won't change anything without major restructuring upstairs.

This would suggest that he isn't the right man for the job.

He lasted 85 days at Inter, and 77 at Crystal Palace, so you'd think there would some reasons why they chose to get rid of him pretty soonish, and not give him more time...

Not convinced by this guy whatsoever. And for what it's worth although everybody assumes he plays beautiful stuff, it's not really the case.

If you last less than 3 months multiple times it means you have failed to get control of the dressing room.

There is nothing about his experience that shows he is the right person for this. He is an egoist who simply wants to be in the premier league. Do not confuse a famous name with a good manager.

The very last thing we need is a manager who’s coming off the back of 2 disastrous spells at other clubs. Palace didn’t even score a goal while he was In charge ffs and some on here think he’s gonna bring fast flowing attacking football.
