“I wouldn't haveany other manager at the moment. He is a much misunderstood man. I warmed to him when he was Sheff Utd manager and he applauded our fans at the end.
Freddie's just what we need so let him come!”

“I hear what you say buddy. When he was at Shef U I felt exactly the same as you and when I heard he was coming to Palace I thought no way. Yes we all know what he is like but nobody is perfect. He is though Loyal, passionate and a true football fan. He puts football before money unlike some people in our beautiful game. He certainly went up in my estimations when we faced Shef U in the final game of the season when it was more important to them than us. The media reported that he would put out a weakened team which he didn,t so this goes to show what an honest manager he is. By the way you can tell he is also a good family man by the way he is with his children so he aint all that bad. So now can we please have Freddie if NW wants him?”
