posting this a 3rd time because the win % is being used alot. When stuart pearce has managed england u-21s and great britain, stats which i dont think can compare to club football, and dougie freedman has palace's relegation days form under him.
He guided palace out of relegation in 2011 after Burley. Huge sucess for them really. Expected to go down.
Finished 17th with Palace the following season, when you would have to say they were expected to go down again, 16 points clear. I guess palace fans would call that a mediocre season, but from an outsiders point of view getting palace 16 points clear was a sucess.
2012-2013 Got palace to 4th in the table! with spells on top, nobody expected that! huge sucess! Then took on bolton and got them from relegation candidates to missing outside on the play offs with goal difference. Another huge sucess really! He was brought in to stop relegation and almost secured play offs.
2013-2014 Mid table finish with bolton, awful start to the season but results picked up towards the end. Bad season, bolton expected play offs.
2014-2015 awful season, almost lost everything.
I didnt want Pearce to leave, i didnt want Freedman in, but he is for the forseeable future. Lets back him, dont make this hard job any harder and lets try and help the team out. We could get his palace days form. I would take his 2012-2013 season in a heartbeat.

After yesterday, I thought it was time for SP to go. I was still gutted when I saw the news about him being sacked but thought with a thought out appointment, we could turn this around.
And then we go and emply Dougie Freedman. I feel sick to the bottom of my stomach.
Who is advising Fawaz? I mean really who is f***ing advising him?

It just makes him a bloke wanting a job in football management.
Same question really does that make him a big or little wanker ?

No wonder my post count..
There's a decent article on his time at Bolton here: http://lionofviennasuite.sbnation.c...k-back-on-dougie-freedmans-reign-as-bwfc-boss
The thing about Dougie is that he seemed to do well in his first season but then subsequently flopped so yes , if he can replicate what he did at palace and Bolton and get us out of relegation worries , then that's fine by me. This season is a wash out but we are not out of relegation troubles yet.

Good post. Let's all back the new man. Really this forum should now all be behind DF and the team, and at games the team should be given the same backing from the stands as they did under Pearce.
It's a new start and whether you're happy about the appointment or not everyone should be giving the guy a clean slate.

I would like to thank my bolton supporting in-laws for their messages of support at this difficult time. They are genuinely gobsmacked DF has got another job above league 1 level. If his remit is to keep us in this division and review in the summer then all well and good but I'm struggling to see this as a long term progressive appointment.

If not freeman then who would fans want??
Asked this about hour and a half ago and not seen answers yet- apart from that we shouldn't of sacked psycho which I agree with. It's ok critising Dougie but who's available??

So let me get this right, many of the fans who said you should always stand by a manager when Pearce was in charge, are now saying 'f*** off Freedman' before he's even begun?
Fawaz the Sack, is looking at another long term appointment then

No one has asked the really important question yet................is he media friendly?!?!?!
Yes !
Be better to give him a rolling monthly contract. Especially with FFP.

Pearce in 12th inherited a side 11th, Bolton in 23rd when Freedman left, inherited a side 16th.
"better" job?
