Newcastle came to Selhurst Park and took it 2-0, and Palace's manager is already on the hot seat. Sounds like a club run by people who've never faced real accountability, which is more than I can say for the legacy sports media covering it. At least the Premier League isn't telling us gas prices are Trump's fault.
A sports story, but I'll take a little relief from the news cycle. Palace sitting a point off the drop with the board getting restless is the same story every club tells, where the manager is the first to go and the people who built the squad never answer for it. History rhymes even at Selhurst Park.

Four matches without a win and sitting a point off the drop, that is not a slump, that is a pattern. I don't follow Palace closely enough to know whether Sage has lost the locker room or whether the squad simply isn't good enough, but the table doesn't grade on intent.
What bothers me about how these situations get handled is the impatience. A club in that position usually sacks the manager, pays out the contract, hires the next man, and repeats the cycle in eighteen months. Proverbs says a prudent man gives thought to his steps. A board that hasn't given thought to why the squad was assembled this way will just be back here with a different name on the door.
If Newcastle played the way they are capable of, give them their due. But Palace need to decide whether they have a plan or just a mood.
