Ian Holloway Leaves Crystal Palace
Manager leaves Palace after guiding Eagles to Premier League
Ian Holloway has stunned the nation by resigning as Crystal Palace manager despite bringing in 13 players. Holloway signed 13 players all in the month of July before resigning. Holloway has left due to a reported lack of faith in the squad. Holloway said "I tried to change things too quickly and we have played eight or nine pre season matches and we have played dismally. I should of rewarded the players I had but I tried to change things too quickly and my style of play won't suit this squad so I think a new manager should come in who can incorportate this team with his tactics and steer the club from relegation before guiding them to bigger and better things." Chairman Steve Parish said in a statement "I am gutted Ian has decided to leave but I have to respect his decision and eventually I agreed it was best for the club. The door will always be open for Ian to come back in some capacity and the club wish him all the best for the future." Dan Petresu and Tony Pulis are both 5/1 to take the role with Tony Pulis rumoured to have a serious interest in filling the role. Pulis has never been relegated as a manager and Dan Petresu played in the Premier League for Chelsea.
