I’m not saying I would want him here, but it is a bit of a surprise he hasn’t had more managers jobs.
I don’t think his record is that terrible is it?

Hard to acknowledge it but he does come across as a no nonsense bloke who doesn’t give a toss what people think about him, and I’ve always admired that attitude. He was a complete tool at Mansfield. Asked once about racism in football and his experiences and he told of chants from the stands of ‘you black barstool’, he said it only made him play better and that he’d shout back ‘rich black barstool’ (or words to that effect). Again, you’ve got to admire that in these PC, snowflake generation times we live in now...

Either a massive troll or massive jebend.
Cant decide.

I apologise for disagreeing with you both Bellwhiff and Dan, the moral arbiters of Stagsnet
I can’t add more because I’m enthralled at bully boy telling someone how long is a reasonable commute and don’t want to miss the next post.
kevin kents tasce wrote:You do know what the word comparison means don’t you?
I’ll meet you half way. Other than a few comments you didn’t like fifteen years ago, what are you basing your opinion that on to be able to call Palmer a ‘weapon’?
I’ll give you my opinion on the whole thing.
Palmer is one of a handful of black managers who are ex England internationals. Each of those managers have been consistently overlooked for jobs and have been given reputations of being arrogant and entitled by the media and football fans.
On the other hand, Wayne Rooney (great player) has regularly displayed what kind of character he is by consistently cheating on his wife and breaking rules relating to alcohol. He’s now the media darling having been given the Derby job without any pedigree at all. In his brief managerial career so far, he has a 27 per cent win percentage. Fell free to compare that to Palmer.
Based upon these observations I think Palmer has been treated unfairly and (as written in my initial post) I am surprised that he hasn’t been given the chance elsewhere yet.

Stockport = 27% win rate
Mansfield = 24% win rate
You're right his record isn't terrible, it's flipping* shocking.
*Just for clarification didn't type flipping.
