Was this a Woy obit?
Nothing to see here.
I knew the "illness" was a kop out from the Palace board. Didn't dare sack him because he's some sort of legend.
On the other end of the scale, Sunderland have punted Beale already.

Woy has STEPPED DOWN and absolutely not been fired or pushed in anyway.
Swansea fans laughed when we took him on loan, last week one of his goals made us another million. We've also got a healthy sell-on clause so he may single-handedly fund two years of transfers before we even dip into however much Sheffield United blew on Hamer
Get Woy on the blower before Coleman signs on the dotted line.
Wow times must be hard in Ireland.
I'm a twit
Did a good job with Switzerland and hadn't the generational player that Coleman had with Wales. Maybe he's past it a bit but we're operating at a slim pickings level, never going to get anyone actually good.
Switzerland was 30 years ago.
Chris Coleman had the luck of inheriting a Wales team on the up that allowed him to fool people into thinking he knows what he's doing.
Calling for an elderly man to be appointed from a hospital bed on the basis of his solid work at USA 94, the Irish game sounds in rude health.
Like I said before - Lennon or the two Keanes? They could maybe wait on Barry to get sacked with Tuchel but they need someone in for the next games really.
I'd have that Bosnian lad who was with the Swiss recently above anyone but again, not a hope he could be afforded. It's not an attractive job without a big Trappatoni style payday.

Wait, Bareth Garry is at Bayern with Tuchel?
Ah no, Anthony Barry. Who's that then?
He was a coach under Stephen Kenny and then left to take a job with Martinez with Belgium, I think he's with him in Portugal too. Was a highly enough rated coach at Chelsea for a good while.
I thought that I couldn't name an Irish player beyond that Brighton one, but it turns out Seamus Coleman still going. The rest of them no idea. Obviously there aren't as many 'Irish' floating around England now, seeing as the only Irish people who still move here are gypos and benders, but why aren't they producing their own players?
Because we have no league and the FAI thought we could just farm out development of players to England and Scotland forever.
That said, there's a few premier league players floating around. Certainly on a getting more action than Coleman. Ogbene, Collins, and O'Shea play regularly enough and Kelleher might see a few games now. Championship is more than enough for the level we operate at though. Couple of lads doing decent around Europe too, mostly Ebosele and O'Brien.
This could be the year the turd finally gets flushed.
Another points deduction of any significance should finish them.
The Irish's BLM factory is what will drive their bright future. Franco Umeh-Chibueze is on the Palace bench tonight and going off his stats (and dreads), he's going to cost Chelsea about £200m.
Ole Binman to takeover from Tuchel at Bayern apparently
Please make this happen.Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is being considered as a short-term option by Bayern Munich if they opt to sack under-pressure Thomas Tuchel. (Sky Germany)
Coleman OUT. What's Steve Bruce up to?
Former Birmingham, Hull and Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce is interested in becoming South Korea manager after Jurgen Klinsmann was sacked last week, but he also features on shortlists for clubs in the Saudi Arabian Pro League. (Mirror)
Weekend at Blarney's.
Sam Jewell, Paul Jewell's son [!], has left as Brighton's head of recruitment to join Chelsea.
Sounds like a nepo-baby-properfootballman.
I'm sure he'll work wonders there.
Think we need a head of sales more than a head of recruitment.
Poor Kylian has been rescued by his knights in Spanish armour. They've come riding in with a £128m signing bonus for him to subsidise his low, low wage of £13m a season.
In other French news Marseille, having already fired Marcelino, Jacques Abardonado and Gennaro Gattuso during the course of this season (league position: 9th) have just appointed as their coach the useless septuagenarian wanker who got fired by the Ivory Coast in the middle of the Afcon. I can only imagine the fun involved in being a Marseille fan. Just pops off every few weeks without warning.
No Alisson, Trent, Szoboszlai, Jones, Jota, Nunez or Salah tonight by the sounds of it.
Annoyingly Klopp is always very vague about his injury updates, but it would appear Alisson, Trent, Jones and Jota will be month(s), whereas the other 3 are a week or two away.
As such I expect a couple of the young lads to be starting tonight. I would think he'd rather rotate a bit today and keep some of the people who are left, fit for the cup final.
Nunez and Salah is just made up stuff on Twitter by Liverpool fans pretending there’s a crisis
Klopp didn’t even mention either of them in his press conference .
There's probably something up with Nunez considering he came off but the Salah stuff does appear to just be some Egyptian ITK which didn't sound very credible.
Neither of them starting tonight, or even featuring probably not that indicative seeing as one is only just coming back from injury and the other had played quite a lot this season.
Injury fucked our Messi/Doak's year up but let me see what Jason Koumas' lad is up to.
I think with Salah it's probably a case of they only really wanted him to play 20/30 minutes on Saturday but circumstances meant he ended up playing for longer so it seems he might not play tonight to be ready for Sunday. Nunez will most likely be touch and go tonight you would think but will be fine for Sunday as well. Even without those two being missing there are still 9 out though and you could make the argument that Jota, Alisson, Jones, Szoboszlai and Alexander-Arnold would all start the final if fit.
Allison wasn’t even going to start.
Your outfield 10 will be better than the team that won 4-1 a couple weeks ago because Robertson and Salah will start.
Nunez is going to eat Silva alive.
Goe Jomez has been a revelation at LB. Robertson isn't quite at it yet since he came back.
I was hoping to see the sexy Hungarian eased back in this week but we must wait it seems.
Tuchel out at Bayern at the end of the season. Gives Xabi a decision to make.
Would be very Bayern/Germany if they just bought all of the best bits from their biggest/newest rival.
Hopefully Lomonga does something useful tonight and snaps a key player.
It's more settled at Liverpool and with less of a rebuild to do. But, get it right at Bayern which shouldn't be too hard lets be honest with the advantages they have over the rest of the league and he can win countless trophies and then go to Madrid. If he went to Liverpool and it didn't go well he's probably not going to get the chance at the other two. Whereas if he messes Bayern up he'd probably still get another go at Liverpool in the future. Plus at Liverpool he's got to get past Pep to win anything being realistic and how likely is that?
Surprised they haven't binned him immediately because that's them guaranteed not to win the league this season now.
Bayern's a bit of a graveyard for young/upcoming managers.
If they want one of those they may as well just stick Muller in charge. Klopp had better not end up there at any point.
They should go for the phantom manager. Any member of the public of decent Aryan stock could keep them ticking along.
I genuinely don't think the Bayern first XI is actually that good.
Neuer and Muller are both wrong side of 34... Upamecano, De Light, Kim and Alaba are decent not world class. Sane, Davies and Gnabry hot and cold, Kane getting on, Kimmich has always been overrated. Musiala and Kane probably their only genuine World Class players.
Alaba
Phonics got a job at TNT doing graphics I see
Oops. Exactly, so shit that they already sold him.
Upamecano is dreadful.
City's March makes for interesting reading. United, Liverpool, Brighton & Arsenal.
The Bayern side is similar to the PSG side that you'll see come the summer. It is more than good enough to win the league they're in, but they need to accept that it is not going to win the Champions League.
They have tried to buy in the next generation to replace the ageing stars, but it hasn't always been a hit. Mazaroui hasn't quite been it, Gravenberch never got much of a sniff there. De Ligt looks okay, but you'd expect more. Upemecano is a bombscare(whoever bought him over Konate wants shooting). That's a lot of money for a team that doesn't have Premier League money. Now they do have some genuine stars there in Musiala and the upcoming Tel(Taz will love this boy), but should their heads be turned then you'd start to panic if you were a Bayern fan.
Also doing the Chelsea approach of changing the manager every year just doesn't work. You have to bring in a guy with a long term plan and give him years, not months to get it off the ground.
